PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Big Dog
PREPARING THE
Properly lubricate the Big Dog, check oil level in the final drives, and fill to level if necessary before
operating. Refer to the Lubrication Chapter of this manual for locations.
Four main apron adjustment bolts
with tension springs are located
on the idler shaft at the front of
the box.
Check to make sure that the main
apron chains are adjusted evenly
before you use the Big Dog.
Check again after the first few
loads. The main aprons should
be at proper tension at all times.
Refer to the Adjustment Chapter
in this manual for proper tension
and adjustment.
Run the unloading mechanism for several minutes. This will serve as a break-in and as a check that
all parts are assembled and lubricated properly. Successful operation will be achieved by periodic
adjustments and experience of the operator.
After you have run your Big Dog for a few loads, check the main apron chains again for proper adjustment,
as paint may initially come off the apron chains and chains may loosen.

TRANSPORTING

When transporting on the highway or roads, regularly clean
the lights and reflective tape on the sides and at the rear of
the Big Dog.
NOTE: Obey all state and local laws concerning the use of the Big Dog on public roads.
