CONTROLS & SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Top Shots are provided with several features for operator safety and convenience.
GUARDS & SHIELDS
Whenever possible and without affecting the operation of the Top Shot, guards, shields and/or hinged
shields have been used on this equipment to protect potentially hazardous areas. In many places, decals
are also provided to warn of potential dangers as well as to display special operation procedures.
AUGER CONTROL
The Top Shot has a hydraulically controlled raise/lower main auger to overcome material bridging when
unloading hard-packed waste material. The auger can be hydraulically raised from the tractor seat, as
necessary. An auger height indicator, visible from the tractor seat, allows the operator to monitor the auger
height. When the unit is parked overnight in freezing temperatures, hydraulically raise the main auger to
prevent the auger from freezing against the bottom of the tank.
DISCHARGE GATE CONTROL
A hydraulically controlled discharge gate with indicator to regulates the amount of material being discharged.
In freezing temperatures, leave the discharge gate partially opened when the unit is parked overnight to
prevent the gate from freezing against the bottom of the opening. A discharge gate height indicator visible
from the tractor seat allows the operator to monitor the gate opening.
