PREPARING FOR OPERATION TRACTION CONNECTIONS Tractor Hitch 1. The hitch of the Top Shot is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the drawbar so that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. Extend or shorten it so that the horizontal distance from the end of the tractor power takeoff shaft to the center of the hitch pin hole is 14 inches for 540 RPM PTO and 15-3/4”...

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.

PTO. It is important that the PTO is engaged at low tractor RPM. On the 5120 and 5126 Top Shots, shear bolt overload protection is provided for both the main auger and the expeller. For proper operation, establish and maintain the proper driveline alignment and tractor hookup.
Page 22
When shear bolt failure is detected, stop all operation and follow the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE. Shear bolts are used to provide overload protection in two areas on the 5120 and 5126 Top Shots. Expeller Drive The discharge expeller sprocket has two ¼” x 1-1/2” grade 8 shear bolts with locknuts.

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.
SERVICE EXPELLER Periodically inspect the expeller teeth for wear or damage. Damaged, broken, or missing expeller teeth will cause excessive machine vibration. Consult with your local H&S dealer for additional ordering information. AUGER & EXPELLER SPEED OPTIONS The expeller input drive sprocket can be changed by raising the auger and then removing the indicated sprocket which is retained by a snap ring and set screws.

OPTIONAL FEATURES & ACCESSORIES NOTE: The optional features & accessories listed in this chapter, are shipped with separate instruction for installation, as applicable. 1000 RPM PTO DRIVE The 5120 Top Shot can be ordered from the factory with an optional 1000 RPM drive. AUGER SPEED OPTIONS Several different drive sprockets are available to change auger 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 32
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 33
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE:This Troubleshooting Chapter presents problems, causes and suggested remedies beyond the extent of loose, worn or missing parts and it was developed with the understanding that the machine is in otherwise good operating condition. PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY 1.) Material NOT Discharge gate is NOT Open gate.
