Operation In Field; Operating The Pto - Killbros 590 Operator's Manual/Parts Catalog

-- It is advisable to use the hydraulic control lever closest to the operator (most commonly known
as control lever No. 1) to activate the flow control.
-- Once everything has been hooked up, test for any possible needed adjustments:
-Are tires inflated to proper pressure?
-Do Augers run smoothly?
-Does Dump Auger fully extend?
-Does P.T.O. operate properly?
-Is Slip Clutch set too loose or too tight?
-Do Flow Control Gates operate properly?
-Is Indicator Arm working properly?
-Are all lights working properly?
If any one of these is not adjusted properly please read the SERVICE section outlined in the
manual or contact your nearest KILLBROS dealer for further information.
With everything in good operating condition, be sure to close flow control gates before use.
The Grain Cart is not insulated. Keep away form all electrical lines and devices. Electro-
cution can occur without direct contact.
1. Make sure the flow control door is in the closed position before loading into the cart.
2. Engage PTO at a low RPM; and open flow control gate.
3. Increase speed to approximately 850 RPM for optimum unloading performance.
4. Use the flow control opening
NOTE: If overload causes the clutch to slip (standard PTO drive) or motor to stall (hydraulic drive),
stop auger immediately. Excessive heating of the clutch will require replacement of internal parts.
Close flow control door and relieve auger unloaded pressure by opening bottom pit dump door to
remove some grain from auger.
5. Do not disengage the auger with the flow control open. Excessive start-up torque may result,
putting stress on the cart driveline and your tractor.
6. Properly identify the tractor remotes for proper hook-up of the flow control and auger fold. A
mix-up can damage the auger drive system.
7. Under any circumstance, DO NOT enter the cart with the auger or tractor running.
8. It is strongly advised that the unloaded auger always be returned to the transport position when
not in use.
When finishing operation of PTO driven equip-
ment, shift PTO control to neutral, shut off
the engine and wait until the PTO stops be-
fore getting off the tractor and disconnecting
the equipment.
Do not wear loose clothing when operating
the power take-off, or when near rotating equip-
ment.
To avoid injury do not clean, adjust, unclog,
or service PTO driven equipment when the
tractor engine is running.
Never exceed the recommended operating
