Module Builder Owner's And User's Statement Of Responsibility I have had explained to me and accept responsibility for the following: I understand this module builder is a heavy, powerful, and bulky unit of equipment capable of causing injury or death when used improperly. I accept the responsibility associated therewith. I understand the danger of high voltage power lines in relation to high profile module builder equipment and accept responsibility for its safe use in dangerous surroundings.
Operating the Module Builder IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ! INITIAL PREPARATION UPON RECEIPT Prior to shipment, the module builder has been carefully checked for defects, filled with oil, and operated under unloaded conditions. The hydraulic pressure has been set and the entire unit made "field ready". The initial preparation required of the operator consists only of reinstating the changes required for shipment.

Set-Up Procedures Manual Tamper IMPORTANT: The following procedures have been set in the factory. They should be used only as a reference if it is necessary to make adjustments following replacements, and only with the guidance of a qualified service person. 1.

Operating Procedures Manual Operation After clearance from module is obtained, or new site located, lower 3-point until front of builder is firmly on ground. g. Move to operator platform on builder. h. Lower builder to ground by pushing axle lever and retracting axle cylinder until builder is firmly on ground.
Module Builder Guidelines LONG DISTANCE MOVING Depending upon whether you have a Stripper model(tall) module builder, or a Intermediate model module builder, you will be from 15'-4.625" to 13'-10.625" high, and overwidth, as well, while in transport position. This is a "permit load" and requires a planned route to avoid construction, low underpasses, and other special situations.

Module Builder Guidelines Leave modules on a well-drained turnrow or move them to a storage area immediately after completion. The storage area should be accessible to transport equipment within 48 hours after a heavy rain; it should be located adjacent to an all-weather road. Modules should not be left on turnrows which may become inaccessible following heavy rains.
Module Builder Guidelines LOADING AND UNLOADING MODULES WITHOUT PALLETS Modules built on the ground, without pallets, are transported on a bed-mounted truck or tractor-type trailer with a multibeam tiltbed using mechanically powered conveyor chains for self-loading and unloading. It is very important that palletless modules be tamped extremely well on both ends to prevent sloughing while transported.
CrustBuster/Speed King cannot be responsible for such exceptions. In this respect, the customer is encouraged to consult his CrustBuster/Speed King representative when selecting an oil.

Lubrication and Maintenance SUITABLE TYPES OF OIL Crankcase oil having letter designation SC, SD, SE, or SF per SAE J183 JUN86. Note that one oil may meet one or more of these designations. ANTIWEAR HYDRAULIC OIL - These are produced by all major oil suppliers and should consist of good quality base stocks compounded with antiwear, antioxidation, and antirust additives.
Management Guidelines USING THE SYSTEM The Cotton Module Builder will be an asset to the grower and ginner if properly used. Following a few common sense rules will aid greatly in the successful operation of the equipment and handling operation.
Page 16
Management Guidelines Cotton should be tarped immediately. Thunderstorms occur suddenly, and once the cotton is wet, it is difficult to gin and cannot be safely stored. Canvas tarps should not be tied too tightly as cotton will expand and tarps will shrink following rains, thus damaging tarps at grommet locations. Module temperature should be monitored at least daily for the first four days or until the temperature reaches its peak and is receding to outside temperature.
Page 17
Management Guidelines Prevent damage from rainfall collecting around the bottom of the module by placing it on a well- drained site. A high well-drained turnrow or central storage area enables the producer or ginner to move modules whenever he wants. Both lint and seed damage can result from heating;...
Bridge Adjustment IMPORTANT: Bridge adjustments should be checked after building two or three modules and weekly after that. Proper adjustments are critical to trouble free operation. Chain Drive NOTES: Chain adjustments that are too tight will result in broken drive shafts, worn or broken sprockets and bearings, and result in shorter chain life.
