WARNING

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.

Before the grain cart is put into service:

Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?

Has the gearbox been properly filled with SAE 80W-90 gearbox lubricant?

Have all nuts, bolts, bearings and braces been properly fastened?

Has the PTO been checked for proper overlap?

IMPORTANT: Has the slip clutch on the PTO been serviced? If the slip clutch is left unchecked, damages to the power

take-off and drive shaft may result. Before using the grain cart, loosen the bolts around the slip clutch. Make sure the

friction plates turn free of each other and are not corroded together. Re-tighten the tension bolts. Run the auger system

EMPTY and check for proper engagement of the slip clutch.

CHECK PTO OVERLAP LENGTH. Overlap length may vary depending on the tractor model and hitch setting. Try to

obtain the greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the extreme operating conditions. Too much overlap may

cause the PTO to bottom out and damage the driveline. Not enough overlap may cause the PTO front and back halves

to separate. From the fully compressed (shortest) length the PTO should be telescoped (extended) between 25,4 cm and

55,88 cm. Different PTO lengths may need to be purchased to accommodate your terrain. A 10,16 cm shorter or a 25,4

cm longer PTO can be ordered through your dealer from J&M Manufacturing.

GREASE BEARINGS: Are all bearings on the drive line properly greased? Are all set screws in the bearings and U-joints

tight? Has the power take-off shaft been properly greased at all points including the cross bearings? Has the universal

joint at the gearbox been greased? Have all grease points at the auger hinge area, including the hanger bushing

assembly been greased?

GREASE K80 SPOON HITCH: Are all pivot joints greased on the K80 ball and K80 spoon hitch?

AIR BRAKE AND PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM: Are all hoses fully seated in the push connect fittings? Did both brakes

release the wheel hub?

TIRE PRESSURE: Are the tires properly inflated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire inflation for

cyclic use. Figures can vary depending on specific brand of tire used. It is important that tires are inspected before

and after the unit is loaded. The tire should stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as the tire rolls. Do

Not Exceed The Tire Pressure Indicated Below:
