PREPARING FOR OPERATION The Top Shot is equipped with a constant velocity telescoping PTO drive shaft. This constant velocity capability, results in a smooth, quiet running drive line, without power fluctuation. The Top Shot can only be properly hooked-up to a tractor which has PTO and hitch dimensions conforming to ASAE Standard S203.
OPERATION EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN In case a foreign object becomes lodged in the expeller or auger area, disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the machine. If an object is lodged inside the tank, block-up the discharge gate and raise the conveyor auger before attempting to remove the object.
Page 20
OPERATION APPLICATION RATE The side discharge style Top Shot features a hydraulically operated discharge gate to control the material flow out of the tank and into the expeller. Several factors influence the rate of discharge and the spread pattern. These factors include: ground speed, type or consistency of discharge material, PTO RPM, and discharge gate opening.

OPERATION HITCH JACK A jack is furnished with the Top Shot to support the machine when the tractor is disconnected and to adjust the hitch clevis to the tractor drawbar for hookup. The jack should never be used to support a loaded Top Shot. When the jack is not being used to support the Top Shot, it should be relocated to the...
ADJUSTMENTS DRIVE CHAIN IDLERS Expeller Drive Chain Idler The expeller drive chain is tensioned with an adjustable sprocket Idler. The chain is properly tensioned when the chain can be deflected 1/2” to 3/4" (13-19 mm) with hand pressure. NOTE: If an Idler fails to maintain proper tension, replace the worn chain.

ADJUSTMENTS FRONT & REAR AUGER SLIDES The front and rear auger slide assemblies are retained by adjustment plates with diagonal slots. To adjust, loosen retaining hardware and drive the plates downward with a hammer until the slide assembly is snug against the tank, then re-tighten the retaining hardware. Grease the slide assembly to ensure a leak free seal.
A single 5/16” x 2” grade 8 shear bolt with lock nut on the overrunning clutch of the PTO is used to provide overload protection on the 5134 Top Shot. Additional shear bolts are stored on the brackets of the gearbox reduction.

SERVICE TIRES & WHEELS Check the tire pressure after every 50 hours of operation. Tires should be inflated to the appropriate pressure listed in the table. Tire Pressure 21.5L x 16.1 – 18 Ply 445/65R22.5 49x19x20 700/50x22.5 Wheel lug torque should be checked after every 50 hours of operation and tightened to the appropriate torque.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT NOTE: The optional features & accessories listed in this chapter, are shipped with separate instruction for installation, as applicable. AUGER SPEED OPTIONS Several different drive sprockets are available to change auger speeds to various spreading needs. Sprockets are available as service parts. EXPELLER SPEED OPTIONS Several different drive sprockets are available to change expeller speeds to various spreading needs.
LUBRICATION Become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a routine to ensure complete lubrication of the Top Shot. GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc. PTO ASSEMBLY Keep the male and female shafts of the PTO well lubricated and free sliding.
Page 31
LUBRICATION DRIVE CHAINS The drive chains are lubricated by a automatic chain oiler. Any time that the discharge door is raised, a specified amount of oil is sent to the brushes on each of the chains. The oiler is adjustable to set the amount that is being discharged.
Page 32
LUBRICATION GREASING There are numerous grease fittings on the Top Shot. Lubricated properly and often with a high-quality grease, will prolong the life of the spreader. Replace any missing or plugged grease fittings. Wipe dirt from the fittings before greasing to prevent the dirt from being forced into the bearing or pivot. Grease should come out around the shaft on sleeve type bearings.
