Unpacking Field Floater IV Grain Cart Contents of container may have shifted during transit. Use caution WARNING while unpacking grain cart components. Once individual components have been removed from shipping container, the next step is to fold down the grain cart side panels. This will provide access to parts that have been stored in grain cart box.
Inventory The individual components of the Field Floater IV grain cart that need to be installed have been broken down and are labeled with part numbers. Hydraulic hoses are marked on one end or tagged. Individual shipping configurations will vary due to options ordered with the Field Floater IV grain cart.

Lubrication Pre-Startup The following procedure refers only to initial setup of the Field Floater IV Grain Cart. Refer to Lubrication and Maintenance section of the Field Floater IV Grain Cart manual for normal maintenance operations. The following components must be lubricated to avoid damage to CAUTION the grain cart.
Testing The following initial setup operational tests are to be performed by qualified maintenance personnel prior to delivery to customer. Refer to Field Floater IV Grain Cart manual for further instructions on safety, tractor requirements and in field operations. 1) Attach tractor draw bar to grain cart hitch with properly sized hitch pin that has a retainer device.

Testing Make sure to have oil in chain oiler reservoir and gearboxes This will ensure proper oiling of chain and gears. Extend upper auger by pushing button. Make sure to have clutch dis-engaged at this point. Rotate swivel head forward and backwards by moving joystick left and right. At this point use a second person to do a visual inspection of the gear and chain.
