OPERATION
HOOKING UP TO THE SILT FENCE INSTALLER
Always read your loader or tractor operator manual
before attaching the silt fence installer.
Installers equipped with a skid steer hitch or skid steer adapter are stored with the hitch
on the ground. Lower the boom to it’s lowest position and extend the bucket tilt cylinders
to pick up the silt fence installer.
Raise the loader boom and make sure the silt fence installer is securely resting on the
loader attachment plate. Follow the instructions in your loader operator manual to extend
the attachment locking pins and lock the attachment in place.
11

Units equipped with a sliding offset hitch and skid steer adapter are also stored with the
hitch on the ground. Always lower the silt fence installer to the ground when not in use.
Never enter or exit the loader cab with the boom in the raised position.
Tractor 3-point and sliding offset units
are equipped with storage stands. The
storage legs are lowered when the in-
staller is not hooked to a tractor.
STORAGE STAND
STORAGE STAND PIN
Store the stands in the 3-point hitch when
the installer is hooked to the tractor. Use
the storage stand pin to lock the stands in
place.
12

Store the stands above the sliding offset hitch on installers equipped with a sliding hitch.
LOADING FABRIC

Load the fabric onto the roll mount tube.
The roll can be loaded to unwind clock-
wise or counterclockwise. Replace the
roll retainer. The spring on the roll retainer
can be tensioned to prevent the roll from
unwinding during windy conditions.
13

Pull one corner of the fabric under the fabric
transition rod and fold it toward the back of
the installer.

Continue to pull the fabric toward the rear
of the machine until approximately 12” of
fabric is exposed behind the rear of the
chute.

The silt fence is now ready to be installed.
Roll stop plate
Roll holder gusset
Roll spacer tube The silt fence installer can install 36 in.,
42 in., and 48 in. wide fabric. The ma-
chine is congured to install 36 in. fabric
as shown. To install 42” fabric, remove
the roll holder gusset and replace the roll
stop plate. To install 48” fabric, remove
the roll stop plate, roll holder gusset and
roll spacer tube. See the parts section
for a detailed breakdown of the roll holder
assembly.
14

The roll holder can be raised to accomodate
large diameter 42 in. or 48 in. rolls of material.
Loosen the jam nuts and lock bolts to raise the
roll holder. Tighten the lock bolts and jam nuts
when the roll holder is at the desired position.
The roll holder height should be kept low if possi-
ble. Material is easier to load on a low roll holder
and the center of gravity of the machine will be
lower.
Jam nuts and lock bolts (4)
STARTING THE FENCE INSTALLATION
The loader arms or the tractor 3-point arms control the depth of the installer. The
bucket tilt cylinders or the top-link hydraulic cylinder on a tractor control the pitch of
the installer. With the installer approximately level, drop the attachment to the desired
depth under ground. When the installer is at the desired depth, stake the fabric or have
a co-worker hold the fabric. Depending on depth and soil conditions, ground friction
will hold the fabric after 5 to 10 feet have been installed. Pull the installer away from the
starting point. The fabric pulls itself through the chute as the installer moves.
15

INSTALLER PITCH ANGLE
Important: The pitch of the installer must be held level with the direction of travel. Use
the 3-point top link cylinder or the bucket tilt cylinder to keep the pitch level. Material will
not feed correctly if the installer pitch is not kept parallel with the direction of travel. Use
the fabric roll holder as a guide.
Incorrect: Adjust pitch
down. Correct Incorrect: Adjust pitch
up.
Ground level
CUTTING THE FABRIC
Stop the installer 3 to 4 feet before the end of the fence installation
Cut the back of the fabric
above the chute roughly
2” longer than the depth
of the installation.
Make a small marker cut
parallel with the large cut
on the front of the fabric.
16

After the cuts have been made, pull the installer forward until the cuts are behind the
fabric chute.
Cut from the marker cut to
the lower cut to end the fabric
installation.
The fabric can also be cut completely above the chute. The method shown above does
not require the fabric to be re-threaded after the cut.
Make sure the fabric has been pulled completely through the chute before raising the
installer out of the ground. If fabric is still in the chute as it is being raised, the fabric can
be pulled to the bottom of the chute. This may cause the fabric to catch or tear.
FINISHING THE FENCE INSTALLATION
After the fence has been sliced in, use
the tractor or loader to drive over the
sliced trench and compact the soil.
This will lock the fabric in place. For a
proper installation, the soil should be
compacted before the posts are in-
stalled.
After the fabric has been compacted,
install posts and attach the fabric to the
posts according to the job specica-
tions.
17

TURNING THE SILT FENCE INSTALLER
The silt fence installer pivots 40 degrees from centerline between the hitch and the frame. This
allows the machine to install tight radius curves in the silt fence installation. There is a pivot
stop on the hitch of the silt fence installer. Do not continue to turn the tractor or skid steer after
the silt fence installer has reached the pivot stop. Oversteering the machine may cause the silt
fence installer blade to bend. Blades bent from oversteering are not covered by warranty.
