ENTERING FORAGE BOX
Front Unload
If you plan to manually unload the Forage Box utilizing cross conveyor, the following
two-man procedure must be followed. NEVER ATTEMPT THIS PROCEDURE ALONE. THE PERSON
OUTSIDE OF FORAGE BOX OPERATING CONTROLS MUST NOT LEAVE CONTROLS.
1. Disengage the tractor hydraulics, shut off the tractor, and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove the connector link from the beater drive roller chain and remove the chain from
the sprockets. CAUTION: BEATERS ARE NOW FREE TO ROTATE.
3. Using a short piece of chain with hooks, secure the top beater to the center beater. See picture below.
4. Wrap the chain around the bar of the third beater and the top bar of second beater. Secure the chain
together as tight as possible to eliminate the beaters from rotating in either direction. Keep the excess
chain out of the cross conveyor chamber. NOTE: Hook the chain properly and securely to prevent
unhooking during this procedure.
5. Using extreme caution, the first person may now climb over the beaters.
6. When the first person is clear of the beaters, the second person may start the tractor, engage the
hydraulic lever, and turn the FUNCTION Control Dial to the CROSS CONVEYOR to operate.
7. Before the first person attempts to leave forage box, the second person must turn the FUNCTION Control
Dial to OFF/RESET, disengage the tractor hydraulic lever, shut off the tractor, and remove the ignition key.
8. When the forage box is clear of people, remove the safety chain from the beaters, and reinstall the
beater drive chain.
