Preparing For Operation - H&S 5215 Operator's Manual

PREPARING Top Shot
Properly lubricate the Top Shot, check automatic oiler level and fill if necessary before operating. Refer
to Lubrication Section of this Operator's Manual for locations.
Before loading material, adjust the hitch clevis to your tractor in order to obtain a level or forward
position of the Top Shot tank. The hitch clevis mounting plate has several sets of mounting holes to
level the Top Shot for proper material delivery to the expeller. If additional positioning is required, turn
the clevis assembly upside-down to obtain additional adjustment. If the Top Shot is going to be operated
in freezing temperatures, review and comply with recommendations in the Operation Chapter, under the
Winter Operation section.
Proper operation of a loaded Top Shot requires a tractor with sufficient horsepower to run the PTO and
proper size to counterbalance the weight of a loaded Top Shot.
