Removing Dirt From The Restrictors On The Hydraulic Cylinder
WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF AND THE UPPER AUGER TUBE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION BEFORE REMOVING
THE RESTRICTORS
Remove restrictors from the 90 degree street elbow on the hydraulic cylinder. Remove dirt from the fitting to allow hydraulic oil to
flow through the restrictor. Reattach the restrictor to the street elbow. Use teflon sealant tape or equivalent on the threads of the
restrictor before re-attaching.
If the restrictor continues to plug with dirt, replace the restrictor or filter the hydraulic oil in your system.
IMPORTANT: When the grain cart is not going to be used for a period of time, store the cart in a dry, protected place. Leaving your
grain cart outside, open to the weather will shorten it's life.
Follow the procedure below when your grain cart is placed in storage for periods up to six months.
1.
Cover electronic monitor (if equipped) with plastic before washing the grain cart. Wash or clean and completely lubricate the
grain cart. See the lubrication service section in this manual.
2.
Remove all grain from inside the grain tank, auger tube assemblies, and at the clean-out door.
3.
Check the gearbox oil and replace with new EP 80-90 gearbox lubricant or equivalent if necessary.
4.
Touch up areas where paint may have worn away. Use a good quality primer paint, especially before re-applying graphite paint
to the interior slopes of the grain tank.
5.
Retract all hydraulic cylinders to prevent the piston rods from rusting.
6.
If the grain cart is equipped with an electronic weigh system, fully charge the battery to prevent freezing. Disconnect the
negative (-) ground cable at the battery to prevent possible discharge.
7.
Clean the tires before storage. Inflate the tires at regular intervals.
8.
Open the clean-out door at the base of the grain tank.
•
Check the gearbox to make sure it has the appropriate amount of oil.
•
If equipped with an electronic scale system, check the battery and make sure that it is fully charged. Reconnect the
negative (-) cable.
•
Inflate the tires to the correct operating pressure.
•
Close the clean out door at the base of the grain tank.
•
Make sure all safety shields are in the proper position.
