Safety Rules Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons are measured by how you service and operate this machine. Know the positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check all controls in a safe area before starting your work.
1.0 Operations 1.1 Preparing the Towing Vehicle Before towing the Speed Tender, refer to towing vehicle’s owner’s manual for information concerning hitch capacities, hitch adjustments, and tire inflation. Towing vehicle must be equipped with proper electric braking components. NOTE: The Speed Tender is equipped with LED lights. The towing vehicle may require a flasher upgrade for lights to operate properly.
Page 11
1.0 Operations Figure 1.1 1.4 Transporting NOTE: Make sure the jack is fully retracted before transporting. NOTE: Check to make sure the boom arm is in the boom rest and the lynch pin is in place with the conveyor ratchet strap securely fastened. NOTE: Make sure that the collapsible hopper is in the up position.
Page 12
1.0 Operations WARNING: Purge hydraulic system of air before operating Speed Tender to prevent serious injury or death. WARNING: Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead of hands. Check to make sure all fittings and hardware are in proper operating condition. Replace if worn or broken.
Page 13
1.0 Operations 1.6 Field Operation WARNING: The Speed Tender must be hooked to the towing vehicle during loading and unloading. Position the Speed Tender next to the planter/drill so the conveyor/auger will reach the planter box. Remove lynch pin from Boom Arm. (Figure 1.3). Start the hydraulic power unit and increase throttle speed.

1.0 Operations Hydraulic Door Wireless Handheld Assembly Remote Control Figure 1.4 Figure 1.5 See Section 4.1 for Remote Options Hopper Up Figure 1.6 Open door on Speed Tender using supplied remote. (Figure 1.4). WARNING: Empty-out the rear compartment first to help prevent the chance of flipping the Speed Tender.
Page 15
1.0 Operations Position boom above boom rest and lower to allow its full weight on the boom rest. Replace lynch pin in Boom Arm. Make sure that the conveyor/auger hold down ratchet strap is tight enough that the conveyor auger will not move during transportation.
Page 16
1.0 Operations Lock collapsible hopper in the up position (Figure 1.6). Position the wagon or bulk seed container over the collapsible hopper. Use the handheld controller or wireless remote to start the conveyor. Fill the Speed Tender to desired level. WARNING: Fill the front compartment first to help prevent the chance of flipping.
Page 17
1.0 Operations Lower the boom so you can remove the telescoping spout from the discharge end of the conveyor. Undo the conveyor hold down ratchet strap (Figure 1.3). Swing the collapsible hopper end out from under the Speed Tender shell. Place the collapsible hopper in the up position (Figure 1.6) With the discharge end lower than the collapsible hopper end, place the discharge end into a 5 Gal.

1.0 Operations 1.9 Adjusting the Tarp Tension in Hanger Bracket Fully unroll the tarp as shown in Figure 1.11. Remove the two bolts that hold the tarp U-Joint on the splined shaft. Remove the u-joint from the spline shaft. Rotate u-joint and handle three or four spline teeth. NOTE: Clockwise to tighten the tarp or counter-clockwise to loosen it.
2.0 Service 2.1 Grease Conveyer Bearings Grease the conveyor bearings every 10 hours of operation and before storage. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing (Figure 2.1). NOTE: Over lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure. NOTE: The conveyor has four bearings that need grease (two at each end). The auger is equipped with one bearing (at hop- per end).
Page 20
2.0 Service 2.3 Tire Pressure The following is to be used as a general guide for tire inflation. Figures can vary depending on specific brand of tire used. It is im- portant that tires are inspected before and after unit is loaded. Start with the minimum pressure indicated. The tire should stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as tire rolls.
Page 21
2.0 Service 2.5 Wheel Bearings The wheel bearings need to be cleaned, inspected, and repacked every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Use a number 2 wheel bearing grease to repack the bearings. Bearing Inspection and Service: Jack up Speed Tender. Remove wheel lug-nuts.
Page 22
2.0 Service 2.6 Hydraulic Power Unit Daily (every 5 hours of use): Check oil level. Inspect for oil leaks and repair as necessary. Check all hoses, fittings, bolts and hardware to make sure that they are secure and properly tightened. Check motor oil level.

2.0 Service Remove Remove Discharge Pan Bearing Mounting Plate Jam Nut Adjustment Bolt Loosen these Figure 2.4 bolts when adjusting belt Conveyer tension. Typical each side. Clean-out Door 2.8 Adjusting Conveyer Belt Tracking Measurments A & B need to be the same. Loosen (Do Not Remove) the 4 bolts on the two bearing mounting plates located at the collapsible hopper end of the conveyor (Figure 2.5).
Page 24
2.0 Service 2.9 Belt Tensioning NOTE: You need to adjust your belt tension at least once a year. Remove the head pan and head pan gasket (Figure 2.3). Loosen (Do Not Remove) the 4 bolts on the two bearing mounting plates located at the discharge end of the conveyor (Figure 2.3).
Page 25
2.0 Service How to adjust electric brakes: Park the Speed Tender on firm and level ground. Block the trailer tires on the opposite side securely so that no forward or rearward movement is possible. Jack up the Speed Tender. Secure the trailer on jack stands of adequate capacity front and rear. At the back of the wheel, on the brake backing plate, there is a small rubber plug near the bottom of the backing plate.
Page 26
2.0 Service Replacing Brake Linings: Remove the brake shoe retract spring. Remove the shoe hold down assembly by holding the back of the pin with one hand and pushing against the spring and twisting with a hold down spring tool until the cup is released. Remove both shoes together leaving the adjuster assembly and spring intact.
Page 27
2.0 Service Straight Edge Abnormal Wear Normal Wear (Replace) Figure 2.7 Voltage in the system should begin at 0 volts. As the controller bar is slowly actuated, the voltage should gradually increases to about 12 volts. This is referred to as modulation. No modulation means that when the controller begins to apply voltage to brakes it applies an immediate high voltage, which causes the brakes to apply instantaneous maximum power.
Page 28
2.0 Service Brake Drum Inspection: There are two areas of the brake drum that are subject to wear and require inspection. These two areas are the drum surface where the brake shoes make contact during stopping and the armature surface where the magnet contacts (only in electric brakes). The drum surface should be inspected for excessive wear or heavy scoring.
Page 29
2.0 Service 2.12 End of the Year Service(Continued) Torque lug-nuts (Section 2.4). Make sure that the tires are properly inflated. Remove all grain from inside the grain tanks. Clean out the Conveyor at the end of every season (Section 1.8). Tension and track the conveyor belt.

2.0 Service 2.14 Troubleshooting Problems Solutions Unit sways during travel a. Check tire pressure. b. Check tow vehicle for loosened hitch parts. c. Check tow vehicle’s hitch height. d. Reduce towing speed. e. Check wheel lug-nuts. f. Check wheel bearings for adjustment (See section 2.5). Tires show excessive wear a.
