Bank Out operation
If you have never operated a bank out before or a
new COE R10 model bank out follow these easy
steps to help familiarize yourself with the machine
its operation and characteristic. It is important to
make sure you know and have experience with the
controls and operation of them. If you have not re-
viewed the “Operators Control Area” on the previ-
ous page, take the time to do that now. With the
machine off, sit in the seat in a comfortable posi-
tion. Look over the various controls and there label-
ing. Also take time to view all safety warning decals
and there placements. Now that you have done the
above its time to try the controls with the machine
running.
BEFORE STARTING make sure all controls are in
neutral or off. To start the machine simply turn the
key as you would in a car. Now you can begin to
activate each function individually. Make sure to do
this at an Idle with the machine clear of people and
objects. When operating the functions notice the
speed and changes of what is going on. Take spe-
cial notice of the moving parts. NEVER allow peo-
ple or objects in these area’s, pinching or dismem-
berment can occur causing serious injury or in se-
vere cases death. Continue to repeat these func-
tions until you become familiar with the use and
feel of them.
The bank out has two functions. One is to unload
the conveyor cart reservoirs towed by either a
pickup machine or a receiver of a catching frame.
The other function is to unload the product collect-
ed from the reservoir carts into a elevator.
To unload the reservoir cart make sure to center
the front bank out bumper as close to the center of
the reservoir tank as close as possible making sure
that the operators area and platform is clear of any
tree limbs or obstacles. To start the unloading on
COE reservoir carts pull forward to activate the
push bar that automatically starts the unloading of
product. After the unloading begins turn the augers
on to move the product to the back of the tank.
When the tank is done unloading or if the augers
stop working simply back up to stop the unloading.
Sometimes the parking brake needs to be set to
prevent the bank out from backing off of the tank.
Always make sure the tank you are going to unload
has the rubber bumpers in place so damage does
not occur to the tank or bank out.
When you have finished unloading the tank you
will need to back up. Remember that the visibility of
a full bank out is very limited so make sure to
check your surroundings for people, objects or ve-
hicles before backing up.

After the bank out if full of product it will now need
to be unloaded into an elevator. The process of ap-
proaching the elevator is the same as with a tank.
Make sure to approach the elevator centering as
close as possible. Once in position to begin the un-
loading process open the front door and turn the
augers onto unloading. Remove some of the prod-
uct with the augers before starting to lift the tank so
you remove some weight from the tank. Raise the
tank slowly to begin dumping the product from the
tank. You may need to close the unloading door to
prevent overfill into the elevator hopper. NEVER
allow any personal to place any part of body in the
area of the unloading door. Serious injury or dis-
membering can occur if door is closed. Once you
have unloaded the tank you can begin to lower it.
Sometimes leaving the tank partially up while back-
ing up allows better visibility. Always make sure the
bank out tank is clear from power lines or overhead
obstacles.
The COE R10 Bank out is very rugged but not inde-
structible. It is important to follow these few guide-
lines to prevent unnecessary damage.
