This operation is to be done stationary and it is to remain stationary until unloaded below 30%. NEVER tow the Bin loaded over 30% . If the Mother Bin is under 30% loaded it can be moved in the field on level ground at speeds of up to 2 MPH (3.6 KM/H).
Lubricate the machine per the schedule outlined in the “Maintenance Section” Use only a tractor with adequate power to pull the Walkabout Mother Bin under ordinary operating conditions. Minimum: 250 HP (188 KW) and 20,000 lb (9072 Kg) minimum vehicle weight.
2.7 CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR IMPORTANT The Walkabout Mother Bin should always be parked on a level, dry area that is free of debris and foreign objects. Follow this procedure to connect the bin to the tractor. Clear the area of bystanders and remove foreign objects from the machine and working area.
Page 25
• Be sure to match the pressure and return line to one valve bank. • The fifth slot (5) is for the discharge chute rotation hoses. 10. Install the bin light connector on the tractor. • The connector requires a standard seven terminal female receptacle. 20174000r1 (04-2022) Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual...

11. Install the 4-pin tarp power connector (1) to the tractor receptacle (2). 12. Raise the hitch jack (6) and rotate it 90° to place in its stowed position. 13. When disconnecting from the tractor, reverse the above procedure. Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual 20174000r1 (04-2022)
Park the tow vehicle and bin on level ground as close to the equipment to be filled or emptied as safely as possible. Allow space around the Mother Bin for vehicles to enter and exit when filling the bin or being emptied.
Flowing grain traps and suffocates victim in seconds! Victim can die in seconds in flowing grain! DANGER Exercise extreme caution while setting, loading or unloading the Walkabout Mother Bin. The following dangerous situations exist: Drowning, rotating driveline, rotating auger and crushing or pinching due to moving pivot auger. IMPORTANT The instructions below must be followed for safe loading of the Walkabout Mother Bin The Walkabout Mother Bin is designed to hold 4000 bushels of grain safely.
Page 29
▪ The grain in the bin can also be monitored by weight if quipped with the scale option. See TOPCON Scale Link Control 2810 Operators Manual for the correct use of the scale option. 20174000r1 (04-2022) Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual...

10. Travel at a safe speed. Maximum of 17mph (27kph) 11. Use extreme care when making corners or meeting traffic. IMPORTANT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THERE EVER BE RIDERS WHILE THE WALKABOUT MOTHER BIN IS IN TRANSPORT. 20174000r1 (04-2022) Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual...
2.15 STEERING OPERATION The walkabout Mother Bin is equipped with steering on all axles. The front axles will automatically steer in the direction of the towing vehicle. The rear axles steering can be controlled from the cab of the tractor by using the hydraulic lever that controls the rear flow control gates.
Page 41
After applying and holding hydraulic pressure the front axles are now locked in position. This provides better control when backing. When finished positioning the Mother Bin remove the hose from the tractor. Install one end of the drain hose (6) provided in the overflow container as shown.
10. If length is an issue fold the hoses (1) back against the auger gearbox. 11. The front hitch (2) can now be folded up against the hoses. Secure the hitch to prevent it from coming down unexpected. Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual 20174000r1 (04-2022)
If the tires need to be replaced the tire size is 425/65R 22.5 rated for 20,000 lbs. (9072 Kg). Clean the area around the valve stem . Remove the cap on the valve stem and check the tire pressure. The pressure must be at 100 PSI (690 kPa). Walkabout Mother Bin Operator Manual 20174000r1 (04-2022)
