W A R N I N G
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH;
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS
WITH THIS EQUIPMENT, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. KNOW HOW TO STOP UNLOADING MECHANISM BEFORE STARTING IT.
If the machine becomes clogged, disengage truck or tractor hydraulics, stop the truck or tractor
engine, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the machine.
DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance or repair with truck or tractor running and hydraulics hooked
to the power source.
DO NOT step up on machine at any time.
DO NOT get off the tractor when box is in operation. Operator position is in the tractor seat.
(Running Gear, Chassis Mount). DO NOT leave truck cab when box is in operation. (Truck Mount). DO
NOT ALLOW PERSONNEL OTHER THAN THE QUALIFIED OPERATOR NEAR THE MACHINE. DO
NOT allow minors to operate or be near the machine.
STAY CLEAR of rear of Forage Box at all times.
DO NOT clean, adjust, or lubricate the machine when any part is in operation.
BE SURE the machine is clear of people, tools, and other objects before engaging hydraulics.
NEVER start power box until all guards and safety shields are secured in place.
STAY CLEAR of hydraulic lines, they may be under extreme pressure or heat.
Loose or floppy clothing should not be worn by the operator.
CAUTION – BEWARE OF LOW ELECTRICAL WIRES.
H&S Mfg. Co. always takes the operator and his safety into consideration and guards exposed moving
parts for his protection. However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in order to assure proper
operation. In addition, the operators manual and decals on the machine itself warn you of further danger
and should be read and observed closely.
Study The Above Safety Rules
ATTENTION - BE ALERT - YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED

TRACTOR:
This Operators Manual uses the term "Tractor" when identifying the power source.

BEFORE OPERATION
Check entire unit carefully before first operation. Tighten bolts, set screws, and chains which
might have come loose in handling. Run the unloading mechanism for several minutes. This will serve
as a break-in and as a check that all parts are assembled and lubricated properly. Successful operation
will be achieved by periodic adjustments and experience of the operator. Make sure to read and
understand the main feeder apron adjustments.
Located on the front of the Wide Body
Box is a convenient hanger (Item A) for
the hydraulic hoses. When the Wide
Body Box is not being unloaded, hoses
should be securely wrapped around
this holder, with ends inserted into
Block Holder (Item B). (Running Gear
and Chassis Mount Only).

WHEN TRANSPORTING ON THE HIGHWAY
OR ROADS, PLACE SMV SIGN IN SOCKET
PROVIDED AND REGULARLY CLEAN THE
REFLECTIVE TAPE AT THE REAR OF THE
POWER BOX.
NOTE: Obey all state and local laws, concern-
ing towed equipment, on public roads.

OPERATION
After you have run the Forage Box for several minutes, checked it over thoroughly as suggested in
earlier recommendations, and have properly adjusted and lubricated it, you are ready to place your Power
Box into operation.
UNLOADING
1. Park the Forage Box on level ground whenever possible during unloading.
2. *Connect the hydraulic hoses from the Forage Box to the tractor.*
3. With operator in the truck or tractor seat, and all others well clear of Forage Box, engage the
hydraulics. NOTE: Rear unload operates in only one direction. *If tractor hydraulic system stalls,
check for obstruction, reverse the lever on the tractor or switch the hydraulic hoses at the ports on
the tractor. If stalling persists, the problem may be insufficient tractor hydraulic pressure.*
OPERATOR’S POSITION

BOX TRACTOR
4. During unloading, move the Power Box
forward to allow material to fall away from rear
of box.
5. When box is empty, disengage hydraulics.
6. Check rear door to make sure it is securely
latched.
NOTE: (Italics between * refers to use on Chassis or Running Gear Mount Models Only)
REAR DOOR LATCHES
Located at the bottom left, center, and right hand side of the
rear door are the door latches. These latches lock against
knurled gears on rear drive shaft to hold door closed when
loading Rear Unload Power Box. When hydraulics are acti-
vated and rear drive shaft turns, knurled gears flip latches open
to allow rear door to swing free. Upon completion of unload-
ing check rear door to insure that door latches are securely in
place for next load.

MAIN APRON ADJUSTMENT
Main feeder apron adjustment bolts are located behind the convenient access door located in the bottom
portion of front gate. Remove handle nuts (A) to open access panel and swing door downward (Chassis or
Running Gear Mount Only). On truck mount, remove 4 handle nuts and remove access panel.
All apron chains must be taken up evenly before you use the power box. Check again after the first few
loads. The Main Feeder Aprons should be at proper tension at all times. The tightener bolts are spring
loaded to help maintain proper tension on apron chains. Tighten the full threaded bolts (B) to adjust aprons.
Aprons are properly adjusted when two Cross Slats, or about three feet of chain lift off the Chain Return
Slides from the front of the box. Maintain this tension when operating the box.
PRIMARY & SECONDARY APRON DRIVE CHAINS
Check both chains regularly for wear. Tension on roller chains is
maintained by a spring loaded tightener system. This is factory set
and should not require adjustment.

LUBRICATION GUIDE
-11-
The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points and
establish a systematic routine to insure complete and quick lubrication
of the machine.
DRIVE CHAINS
Lubricate the drive chains with a light machine oil. Keep chains aligned with
sprockets. This will lengthen the life of the sprockets and chain. Lubricate
chains often.
GREASE ZERKS
There are multiple grease fittings on your “WIDE BODY’’ FORAGE BOX.
Grease daily during normal use and before and after storage. Use a
good grade of high quality grease.
Listed below is location and quantity of zerks.
A. (4) one on each main apron front idler sprocket.
B. (4) one on left hand, two on center, and one on right hand rear
main apron drive shaft brackets.
C. (2) one on each bearing on reduction sprocket idler shaft.
