Operations Attaching the Bulk Seed Boxes WARNING: The Speed Tender Pro must be hooked to the towing vehicle during loading and unloading. WARNING: Load the front bulk seed boxes first to help prevent the chance of flipping. Unlatch and flip open all four of the lids.
Page 14
WARNING: The Speed Tender Pro must be hooked to the towing vehicle during loading and unloading. Position the Speed Tender Pro next to the planter/drill so the conveyor will reach the planter box. Turn switch on battery disconnect to “ON”.
Page 15
Operations Use the handheld controller or wireless remote to start the conveyor. Fill the planter/drill to desired level then repeat. NOTE: Adjusting engine throttle will regulate conveyor speed. 10. Close door on SpeedTender Pro before the last planter seed box is full so you can completely empty collapsible hopper and conveyor.
General Service Daily Service (5 -10 Hours of Use) NOTE: J&M recommends the following service to be performed daily (every 5-10 hours of use) Grease the conveyor bearings every 10 hours. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing. NOTE: Excess lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure. NOTE: The conveyor has four bearing that need greased (two at each end).
General Service Removing From Storage Grease the conveyor bearings. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing. NOTE: Excess lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure. NOTE: The conveyor has four bearings that need greased (two at each end). See “Conveyor Service” on page 20. Grease pivot points on boom arm.
Tire Service 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 important 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.
Wheel Bearing Service Clean, inspect, and repack the wheel bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Use a number 2 wheel bearing grease to repack the bearings. Bearing Inspection and Service: Jack up SpeedTender Pro. Remove wheel lug nuts. Remove wheel from hub. Remove grease cap.
Conveyor Service Grease Conveyor Bearings Grease Point Grease the conveyor bearings every 10 hours of operation and before storage. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing. NOTE: Excess lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure. NOTE: The conveyor has four bearings that need grease (two at each end). Grease Swing Arm Grease pivot points on boom arm every 50 hours and before storage.

Conveyor Service Adjusting Conveyor Belt Tracking Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts on the two bearing mounting plates located at the collapsible hopper end of the conveyor (as shown in the picture below). NOTE: Only adjust conveyor in normal position, do not adjust in self-fill position. Operate the conveyor at a slow speed.
Brakes Service The SpeedTender Pro is equipped with electric brakes. They need to be inspected and serviced immediately if a loss of performance is experienced. You need to service your SpeedTender Pro brakes at least once a year with normal use. How to use your electric brakes properly: Your SpeedTender Pro brakes are designed to work in synchronization with your tow vehicle brakes.
Page 23
Brakes Service Brake Shoe and Lining Inspection: A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are usable. Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within 1/16” or less), contaminated with grease or oil, or abnormally scored or gouged. Hairline heat cracks are normal in bonded linings and should not be cause for concern.
Page 24
Brakes Service Voltage in the system should begin at 0 volts. As the controller bar is slowly actuated, the voltage should gradually increase to approximately 12 volts, which is referred to as modulation. No modulation means when the controller begins to apply voltage to brakes, it applies an immediate high voltage, which causes the brakes to apply instantaneous maximum power.
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 ”Wheel Bearing Service” on page 19). Tires show excessive wear a.
Troubleshooting Problems Solutions Excessive wear to belt edge - Rubber skirting is a. Replace rubber skirting. worn or out of place b. Adjust rubber skirting. Boom arm will not move up or down - Engine RPM a. Increase engine RPM. slow Boom arm will not move up or down - Hydraulic a.
