2.2. General Safety
The safety information in the safety section of this manual applies to all safety practices. Specific safety
information (such as Operation Safety), can be found in the appropriate section.
YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your X-Tend hopper. YOU must ensure that you and
anyone else who is going to work around the X-Tend hopper understands all procedures and related SAFETY
information contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around
you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. All accidents can be avoided.
• It is the X-Tend hopper owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsibility
to read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and
follow them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the equipment.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with all personnel before
allowing them to operate the X-Tend hopper. Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders
to possible serious injury or death.
• The X-Tend hopper is not intended to be used by children.
• Use the X-Tend hopper for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the X-Tend hopper in any way without written permission from the manufacturer.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety, and could affect the life of the X-Tend
hopper. Any unauthorized modification of the X-Tend hopper will void the warranty.

and understood that manual.
2.4. Rotating Flighting Safety
• KEEP AWAY from rotating flighting.
• DO NOT remove or modify flighting guards, doors, or covers.
Keep in good working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• DO NOT operate the X-Tend hopper without all guards,
doors, and covers in place.
• NEVER touch the flighting. Use a stick or other tool to
remove an obstruction or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
2.5. Rotating Parts Safety
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating pulleys,
belts, chains, and sprockets.
• Do not operate with any guard removed or modified. Keep
guards in good working order.
• Shut off and remove key or lock out power source before
inspecting or servicing machine.
2.6. Guards Safety

2.7. Hydraulic Winch Safety
When Equipped:
• Keep away from rotating cable drum and winch cable. Do not touch or grab cable while
winch is being operated or use hands to guide the cable. Failure to heed could result in
serious injury.
• Inspect cable and cable clamps before installing and using hydraulic winch. Replace cable if
frayed or damaged. Tighten cable clamps if necessary.
• Do not continue to supply power to hydraulic winch after the X-Tend hopper has reached
full up position.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic quick couplers when lines are pressurized.
• Make sure lift cable is seated in cable pulley.
• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the cable drum.
2.8. Work Area Safety
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the X-Tend hopper in case of
accident.
• The work area should be kept clear of bystanders.
• Keep the work area clean and free of debris.

2.9. Drives and Lockout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down your power
source and follow lockout and tagout procedures to prevent inadvertent start-up and
hazardous energy release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the
following power source(s).
For example:
WARNING
• De-energize, block, and dissipate all sources of hazardous energy.
• Lock out and tag out all forms of hazardous energy.
• Ensure that only 1 key exists for each assigned lock, and that you are the only one that holds that key.
• After verifying all energy sources are de-energized, service or maintenance may be performed.
• Ensure that all personnel are clear before turning on power to equipment.
For more information on occupational safety practices, contact your local health and safety organization.
2.9.1 Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the power
source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while system is
under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious
injury if it penetrates the skin surface (serious infection or
toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immediately if
injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for
hydraulic leaks and wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good
condition. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened, or
crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings
or hoses with tape, clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs
will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe
condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve
system pressure before disconnecting or working on
hydraulic system.

General Description
The X-Tend hopper swing auger is an option for the Wheatheart X130. It provides the ability to drive
hopper bottom trailers into place with the X-Tend hopper retracted and when extended will reach
both trailer hopper gates on most straight trailers without having to re-position the truck. The X-Tend
hopper may be extended under the trailer under operator control safely and with ease once the trailer
is stopped.

Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
4.1. Assembly Safety
• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to handle.
Always use the proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the job.
• Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.
• Always have two or more people assembling the X-Tend hopper.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute bolts,
nuts, or other hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the
manufacturer.
4.2. General Assembly
The X-Tend hopper is available installed as part of the normal assembly of an X130 auger or as a kit to replace
an already-installed low-profile hopper.
Refer to the appropriate assembly manual for general assembly information, including auger assembly
sequence and the standard list of tools required (installation of the X-Tend hopper replaces the installation of
the Low Profile hopper, swing tube and spout head in the auger assembly sequence).
General Installation
1. Secure an appropriate lifting device with lifting straps or chains to the X-Tend hopper.
2. Check that the u-joint spline and splined shaft on the lower gearbox are clean, then apply a light film of
grease on this splined shaft.
3. Remove the collector service door/cover on side of collector.
4. Lower the X-Tend hopper collector onto the boot while guiding the u-joint onto the gearbox shaft. Reach
through the collector service door to rotate u-joint (as necessary), to line up with the splined gearbox shaft.
Once positioned, the swivel ring should be resting flat on the boot surface.
5. Secure the ring in place using four retainer tabs, four retaining spacers and eight 3/8" x 3/4" bolts.
6. Lubricate the u-joint.
7. Close and secure the collector service door/cover.
