Hydraulic Safety
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve system pressure before disconnecting or working
on hydraulic system.
• Keep all components in the hydraulic system tightly secured and in good condition and clean.
• Replace any worn, cut, abraded, attened, or crimped hoses.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic ttings or hoses with tape, clamps, or concrete. The
hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure; such repairs will fail suddenly and create a haz-
ardous and unsafe condition.
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
This machine uses a high-pressure hydraulic system. Escaping uid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Never search for
leaks with your hands. Protect hands. Use a piece of cardboard to nd
location of escaping uid. Stop engine and relieve pressure before discon-
necting lines or working on hydraulic system.
If hydraulic uid penetrates your skin, see a doctor immediately.
Injected uid must be removed surgically within hours or gan-
grene may result. Contact a knowledgeable medical source or call
911.
Safety Decals
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have become illegible. See decal location gures below.
• Replaced parts must display the same decal(s) as the original part.
• Safety decals are available from your dealer or by calling the factory at 641-498-2063.
Decal Installation
• To install safety signs, ensure the installation area is clean and dry. Decide on the exact position before
you remove the backing paper. Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper and align over the
specied area. Carefully press in place.
• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and smooth the remaining portion in place. Small air pockets can be
pierced with a pin and smoothed out.

Hydraulic System Requirements
In order to operate the hydraulic drive motor, the tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 15 gpm (56.8
L/min) at 1200 psi (8273 kPa) for the GSX-100 (10”) hopper, and 15 gpm (56.8 L/min) at 1800 psi (12,411
kPa) for the GSX-130 (13”) hopper. Use caution routing the hoses from the drive over hopper to the tractor.
Ensure that they are not a tripping hazard and that they can’t become tangled in the auger or PTO drive.
Electric System Requirements
A minimum 10 hp (7.35 Kw) electric motor (1725-1750 rpm) is required to power the GSX-100 (10”) hopper,
and a minimum 15 hp (11.03 Kw) electric motor (1725-1750 rpm) is required to power the GSX-130 (13”)
hopper. Ensure the power source has adequate amperage at the proper voltage. Have a licensed electri-
cian provide power and install weatherproof control switches in a safe and convenient location for the opera-
tor. All power cords should be protected and secured during operation. When purchasing an electric drive
hopper, the customer is responsible for supplying the electric motor, all wiring and controls.

NOTICE
Locate the machine on reasonably at and rm ground,
free from obstructions. Placement on uneven or soft
ground may cause excessive loads on the machine or
clearance issues. Corresponding damage to the ma-
chine or transport vehicle could result.
1. Use the towing vehicle to back the drive over
hopper into place. The discharge spout of the hopper
should be over the intake grate of the auger you plan
to use. Make sure there is a straight line path for the
grain truck to drive over the ramps of the hopper.
2. The supplied jack comes with an upper and
lower mounting tube. The lower mount is used when
placing the jack on the hitch end of the machine. The
upper mount is used when placing the jack on the dis-
charge end of the machine.
3. Unhook the towing vehicle and use the sup-
plied jack to lower the hitch end of the machine to the
ground. Once lowered to the ground, the hitch can be
removed if necessary.
