ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING THE D3008A DEFLECTOR
1. Bolt Deflectors together with 5/16" x5/8MBolts
provided with the Bolt Heads on inside of De-
flectors.
2. Bolt Braces together with 5/16Mx2-1/2" Bolts.
Position Braces as shown and Drill thru eight
11/32 holes. Bolt Braces to Deflector with
5/16" x5/8" Bolts with the Bolt Heads on inside
of Deflector.
3. Bolt Cap to End Deflector with 5/16" Wing Nuts.
Attach Chain to End Deflector with 1/4 Nut and
Washers.
4. Bolt Deflector Brace to Deflector Strap with
1/2" x1" Bolts. See illustration for positions
for 17 Foot and 20 Foot Harvestores.
5. Bolt Deflector Bracket to Harvestore. Be care-
ful -Bolts in Harvestore are not secure. They
can fall in when Nuts are removed if they are
not held.
6. Bolt Deflector to Bracket on Harvestore with
1/2" x1" Bolts.
Bolt Lateral Braces to Deflector and to top of
Harvestore. Braces to be fastened to the seventh
Bolt each side of center of Deflector.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS @
SETTING UP THE BLOWER
GENERAL OPERATION
1. Place the Blower in level position. Block base
of Blower if necessary to maintain level position.
2. Place the Blower to allow astraight drive connec-
tion, for minimum pipe requirements and ample
operating area for Uriloaders and Self- Unloading
Forage Boxes.
3. Use agood Tractor with sufficient power. Light-
er material requires less power to maintain good
capacity. Heavier material requires more steady
power.
4. Tractor PTO speed must be maintained at no less
than 540 RPM under load .Ordinary conditions
do not demand higher speed but if higher RPM
from the Tractor PTO is available it can be used
for increasing capacity. Do not operate Blower
Fan in excess of 750 RPM.
5. Capacity and ease of operation will depend upon
the set-up for operation and uniformity of feed-
ing. Use of Gehl Unloading Devices or Self Un-
loading Forage boxes will allow completely syn-
chronized operation, thereby increasing capacity,
reducing operating time and assuring even feed-
ing.
GRASS SILAGE IN UPRIGHT SILO
1. The pipe should be bolted or clamped together
starting at the Defiector Elbow. The telescoping
section should be at the lower end setting on the
Blower Outlet. The pipe and outlet should be in
aperpendicular position for best results. The
telescoping section can be adjusted up or down
to correct pipe length for each individual Silo.
2. Never install an Elbow at the Blower Outlet.
Such installation will reduce capacity. Serious
plugging can result. Available however is a
short section of pipe with aswivel top which can
be used where slight pipe angularity is necessary.
See Table of Contents for Pipe Accessories.
3. IMPORTANT: When placing the Deflector into
the Silo, Do Not allow it to rest on the ledge of
the opening. Raise the Deflector ten inches or
more to allow air to escape.
