WHEEL NUTS
Check ALL wheel nuts for correct torque setting. (3/4”-400 Ft-Lbs, 22mm-640 Ft-Lbs)
Tighten as needed. Re-Check wheel nut torque settings during initial break in period
(during 1st, 2nd, 3rd loads, etc.), then periodically afterwards (every 10 hours of use for
rst 40 hours). Keep checking wheel nut settings until wheel nuts do not loosen. If wheel
nuts loosen and damage the surface of the wheel center, it will be impossible to keep
them tight. Failure to keep the wheel nuts tight could cause considerable damage to the
grain cart and surrounding. It is the Dealer’s responsibility to have wheel nuts torqued to
specication before delivery. Damage caused by failure to keep the wheel nuts tight is not
warrantable.
HITCH
Determine the hitch style of cart to be compatible with tractor. Tractor with hammer strap
(clevis type) should be used with grain carts equipped with a single prong (spade) hitch.
Tractors equipped with a single prong hitch (no hammer strap) should be used with grain
carts equipped with a double prong (clevis) hitch.
Be sure the tractor pin is at least 1/4”smaller in diameter than the pin hole in the grain cart
hitch to ensure enough free movement when traversing through uneven terrain.
POWER TAKE-OFF
Check for adequate clearance between telescoping PTO and tractor hitch. Suggested
clearance is 7 inches.
Check telescoping PTO for adequate extension. With the tractor hitched to the cart on at
level ground, the PTO should have approximately 10 inches extended from the collapsed
(shortest) length.
UPPER AND LOWER AUGERS
Raise the auger to the unload position. Run the auger from the PTO or optional hydraulic
motor. If the top auger is misaligned with the bottom auger, you will hear a ‘bang’ as
the upper auger realigns itself with the lower auger. This is normal as the top auger has
dropped to engage the lower auger. Be sure that the top auger engages the lower auger.
Check bearing at top of auger. Be sure to have approximately 1/8” to 3/16” of an inch gap
under/between top auger bearing. Some models have bearings inside and some models
have bearings outside of upper auger housing. If there is no gap under the bearing, or the
gap is greater than 1/8” to 3/16”, the bearing needs adjusted.
HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS AND HOSES
Run all functions of the hydraulic cylinders and inspect ttings and seals for leakage. (use
cardboard or wood to check for hydraulic leaks)

GEARBOX
Check the gearbox oil level. For the process of checking the oil in your gearboxes, refer to
“Lubrication Service Schedule”in this manual. Add SAE 80W-90 lubricant as necessary.
LIGHTING & SAFETY FEATURES
Check the tractor lighting system for functions. Plug the grain cart wire harness into the
tractor receptacle and check the cart lighting for correct functions. Note: The auger spout
light is activated through a mercury switch located at the harness connection under the
discharge spout. The auger spout light should automatically turn on when the auger is
in the unload position, and turn o when the auger is returned to the storage position. If
the auger spout light does not turn on or shut o properly, the mercury switch may need
repositioned.
Check that the safety chains are properly installed. Use bolt-torque chart listed in
operator’s manual for correct torque value.
TIRES
All tires need to be inated to the specied air pressure given in the “Tire Pressure” section
on the “Initial Operation & Maintenance”page of this manual.

Safety Rules
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our eorts to provide safe equipment
can be erased by an operator’s single careless act. In addition, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, judgment, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment.
Make certain that the operator(s), prior to operating is instructed in safe and proper use and reviews and understands the manual(s)
pertaining to this machine. Also make certain that the operator(s) reviews and understands the operator’s manual of the tractor
prior to hooking up or operating the grain cart.
Read this manual before you operate this machine. If you do not understand any part of this manual, or need more information,
contact the manufacturer or your authorized dealer.
SAFETY
Understand that your safety and the safety of other persons is measured by how you service and operate this machine. Know the
positions and functions of all controls before you try to operate them. Make sure to check all controls in a safe area before starting
your work.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, federal, state or local laws. Make certain your machine
has the proper equipment as designated by local laws and regulations.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is from persons falling o equipment and being run over. Do not permit persons to
ride on this machine.
Travel speeds should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating
near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Collision of high speed road trac and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On roads, use asher lights
according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to let faster trac pass.
Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate skin and cause infection or other injury. To prevent personal injury,
• Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting uid lines,
• Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition,
• Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
• If injured by leaking uid, see your doctor immediately.
When transporting the grain cart, always keep the auger in the stow position.
Use care when moving of operating the grain cart near electric lines as serious injury or death can result from contact.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate the grain cart until all power is shut o. Keep all safety shields in place. Keep hands, feet,
hair and clothing away from moving parts while the grain cart is in operation.
The service ladder is for service work only. If you must climb into the grain tank, be certain that all power is shut o and then use
extreme caution when climbing into the grain cart.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine.
Make sure that the grain cart is fastened securely to the tractor by using a high strength hitch pin, clip and safety chains. Make sure
that the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch type of the tractor. Use a single prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a double
prong (clevis) tractor hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain cart hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch.
Before lling the grain cart, make certain that no one is inside the grain tank. Never allow children or anyone in, near, or on the
grain cart during transport or during loading and unloading of grain. Be aware that moving grain is dangerous and can cause
entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by suocation.
Never operate the auger system with anyone inside the grain tank. Hands, feet, hair and clothing can t through the openings in
and around the grate. Contact with the auger can cause severe injury or death. Make certain that all power is shut o before service
work is performed.
Before unhooking the grain cart from the tractor, be sure the jack stand is properly mounted and in place and the wheels are
properly blocked to prevent the cart from moving.

Initial Operation and Maintenance
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART.
Before the grain cart is put into service:
Have the safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?
Has the gearbox been properly lled with SAE 80W-90 gearbox lubricant?
Have all nuts, bolts, bearings and braces been properly fastened?
Has the PTO been checked for proper overlap?
IMPORTANT: Has the slip clutch on the PTO been serviced? If the slip clutch is left unchecked, damages to the power-take-o
and drive shaft may result. Before using the grain cart, loosen the bolts around the slip clutch. Make sure the friction plates turn
free of each other and are not corroded together. Re-tighten the tension bolts. Run the auger system EMPTY and check for proper
engagement of the slip clutch.
CHECK PTO OVERLAP LENGTH. Overlap length may vary depending on the tractor model and hitch setting. Try to obtain the
greatest possible overlap without bottoming out in the extreme operating conditions. Too much overlap may cause the PTO to
bottom out and damage the driveline. Not enough overlap may cause the PTO front and back halves to separate. From the fully
compressed (shortest) length the PTO should be telescoped (extended) between 10” and 22”. Dierent PTO lengths may need
to be purchased to accommodate your terrain. A 4” shorter or a 10” longer PTO can be ordered through your dealer from J&M
Manufacturing.
GREASE BEARINGS: Are all bearings on the drive line properly greased? Are all set screws in the bearings and U-joints tight? Has
the power-take-o shaft been properly greased at all points including the cross bearings? Has the universal joint at the gearbox
been greased? Have all grease points at the auger hinge area, including the hanger bushing assembly been greased?
TIRE PRESSURE: Are the tires properly inated? The following is to be used as a general guide for tire ination for cyclic use.
Figures can vary depending on specic brand of tire used. It is important that tires are inspected before and after the unit is
loaded. The tire should stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as the tire rolls. Do Not Exceed The Tire Pressure

IMPORTANT: Do NOT pull a loaded grain cart on highway. For incidental highway travel, observe the section below.
Tow Loads Safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that are too
heavy for the tractor or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower.
Road Travel (grain cart empty): Do not travel more than 32 km/hr (20 mph) and do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the
pulling unit’s weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
WARNING: For greater stability on uneven or steep terrain, position non-scale wheel spindles at the furthest out setting.
IMPORTANT:
1) Connect grain cart hitch to tractor drawbar using a good quality hitch pin. Attach the safety chain to the tractor and through one
chain loop provided on either side of the grain cart frame as shown. Make sure the grain cart hitch properly matches the hitch of
the tractor. Use a single prong (spade) grain cart hitch with a tractor double prong (clevis) hitch. Use a double prong (clevis) grain
cart hitch with a single prong (spade) tractor hitch.
Safety Chain User Instruction
a) Secure the safety chain by looping it around each side of the grain cart as shown and
connecting to the towing machine’s attaching bar.
b) Do Not allow any more slack than necessary for articulation.
c) Do Not use any intermediate support as the attaching point.
d) Store the safety chain by securing it around the main axle A-frame of the grain cart.
e) Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end ttings are broken, stretched or otherwise
damaged or deformed.
2) Attach the power-take-o shaft to the tractor. The PTO must have at least 10”of engagement. Check tractor drawbar for clearance
and length and adjust if necessary. Make sure the PTO does not bottom out when making sharp turns as it may bend the drive
shaft.
3) Make sure the jack stand is removed from the lower support position before the cart is moved. Never use the jack to support
a loaded grain cart.
4) Be sure that no debris or foreign objects are in the grain cart.
5) Attach the hydraulic lines to the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (green band) operate the inside gate mechanism. Connect these
VERY IMPORTANT: Under no circumstance is it recommended to tow a loaded grain cart in excess of 8 mph.
WHEEL NUTS: Are the wheel nuts properly fastened? Torque to 640 Ft.-Lbs. for standard 22mm wheel studs and nuts. Torque to
400 Ft.-Lbs. for 3/4” wheel studs and nuts. Wheel studs and nuts should be checked after each load during initial operation
of the cart and then after every 10 hours of use. Failure to do so may damage wheel studs and nuts. Once the seats are
damaged, it will become impossible to keep the lug nuts tight.
The drawing shows the proper way to mount the wheels using Budd-type nuts. The wheels supplied with
your grain cart have straight holes and the Budd nuts will be mounted according to Figure 1. Wheels that
are improperly installed on the grain cart, resulting in product failure, will nullify warranty and shift the
burden of liability to the owner/operator. We recommend you inspect your wheel nuts to make sure they
are properly installed. Also, check the wheel nuts on a regular basis to ensure they are tight.
LIGHTING AND SAFETY DECALS: Are the rear, amber extremity lights properly positioned? Extend the lights within 16” (40,6cm)
of the left and right extremities of the grain cart. Is an SMV Emblem attached to the rear of the grain cart?
Are the lights working properly? Are all lights and reective decals clean, visible and properly placed?

• Never engage the lugs and drive dogs on the augers when the system is moving at a high rate of speed.
• Never perform maintenance work or service the grain cart with the tractor running.
lines to one service outlet on the tractor. Two hydraulic lines (yellow band) operate the folding mechanism of the auger. Connect
these lines to a second service outlet on the tractor. The remaining two hydraulic lines (red band) operate the hydraulic ow control
spout located at the end of the upper auger. Connect these lines to a third service outlet on the tractor. Make sure the air is bled
from the hydraulic cylinders and hoses.
6) Run the auger system EMPTY before loading grain into the tank for actual use. Make certain that the slip clutch is operating and
that the upper and lower augers are properly engaged.
7) Connect the lighting 7-prong connector end on the main wiring harness to the tractor electrical outlet. Make sure that all asher
and turn indicator lights are working properly before incidental highway travel.

Lubrication Service Schedule
IMPORTANT: Your grain cart has grease ttings at all critical points. These should be serviced before the grain cart is put into
operation.
WARNING
BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING THE GRAIN CART
PTO & DRIVELINE: The grease ttings on the PTO should be serviced after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease ttings on each
of the drive bearings and also the universal joint after every 8 hours of use.
AUGER FOLDING MECHANISM: One grease tting is located on the pivot pin of the folding auger. This tting should be serviced
after every 8 hours of use. Service the grease tting on the hanger bushing assembly (top end of the lower auger assembly) after
every 8 hours of use or as needed.
SPRING LOADED UPPER AUGER BEARING: Service the grease tting on the upper auger bearing (located at the top end of the
upper auger assembly) after every 8 hours of use. Lubricate the springs and retaining bolts on the bearing before prolonged
storage of the grain cart.
GEARBOX: Gearbox lubricant has been added to the gearbox during nal assembly. Recheck the lubricant level before initial operation
of the grain cart, then periodically according to use. The uid level should rest at the inspection plug, pictured in blue below. When

Adjusting the Lower Flighting
WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE FLIGHTING ASSEMBLY.
If the drive-dog and hanger assembly are becoming excessively hot during unloading, the lower ighting and/or hanger may need
adjusting. The hanger bushing assembly has elongated holes where it attaches to the outer tube assembly. Loosen the two 3/8”
bolts on the hanger bushing assembly. Adjust the hanger either up or down and vertically center it between the ighting and drive
dog. Re-tighten the bolts. Make certain that the ighting center and drive-dogs do not rub the hanger bushing assembly, causing
them to become hot.
If the hanger can no longer be adjusted by moving it up or down on the elongated holes, both the hanger bushing assembly and
the lower ighting will have to be removed. See instructions on pg. 36 for ighting removal. After removing them from the tube
assembly, place a shim [between 1/8” (0,32cm) to 3/16” (0,48cm) thick] where the gearbox and the spline coupler (welded to the
lower ighting). Replace the lower ighting and reattach the hanger to the tube assembly. Readjust the hanger assembly. NOTE:
The bottom of the lower ighting is not attached to the gearbox with any bolts or set screws but may be ‘frozen’ fast. Be careful
when removing the lower ighting from the gearbox. For easier removal of the lower ighting, keep the gearbox at the bottom
intact, remove the 2 3/8”bolts from the hanger bushing assembly and pull the lower ighting o of the gearbox.
After adjusting the lower ighting, move the upper auger to the unload position and check the upper ighting for readjustment.
WARNING
MAKE SURE ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE FLIGHTING ASSEMBLY
If the upper and lower augers to do not properly separate during the unfolding sequence, the upper ighting may need adjusting.
Before making adjustment to the upper ighting, check to see if the lugs and drive dogs on the auger assemblies are locking
together. If they are not locked together, check to see if dirt is in the restrictor or if a faulty check valve on the hydraulic cylinder
used to raise and lower the upper auger assembly may be causing the problem. If dirt is in the restrictor, see “Removing Dirt From
Restrictors On Hydraulic Cylinders” below.
Fold the upper tube assembly into the upright position. Position the upper ighting in the engaged position with the lower ighting.
Locate the four-hole ange bearing on the top of the upper auger tube housing. With the upper ighting in the engaged position,
check the spacing between the upper bearing and the upper tube housing. There must be an 1/8” (0,32cm) space between the
base of the four-hole ange bearing and the upper tube housing. If there is NOT a space between the bearing and the upper tube
housing, or if there is more than 1/8” (0,32cm) space, the upper ighting will need to be adjusted. To adjust the upper ighting,
loosen the 1 1/4” hex nuts both above and below the four-hole ange bearing. Move the 1 1/4” hex nuts up or down the threaded
shaft on the top of the auger ighting shaft until the bearing moves to approximately 1/8” (0,32cm) above the base of the upper
tube housing. When the four-hole ange bearing is properly located, tighten both 1 1/4” hex nuts together to secure the bearing
position.
If the upper and lower ighting still does not separate properly during the folding sequence, a small bevel may need to be removed
from the inside of the lugs where they engage the drive dogs on the auger assemblies. Grind approximately 1/8” (0,32cm) from the
corner of the lugs where they touch against the drive dogs.

Removing Dirt from the Restrictors on the Hydraulic Cylinder
WARNING
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF AND THE UPPER AUGER TUBE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION BEFORE REMOVING
THE RESTRICTORS
Remove restrictors from the 90 degree street elbow on the hydraulic cylinder. Remove dirt from the tting to allow hydraulic oil to
ow through the restrictor. Reattach the restrictor to the street elbow. Use Teon sealant tape or equivalent on the threads of the
restrictor before re-attaching.
If the restrictor continues to plug with dirt, replace the restrictor or lter the hydraulic oil in your system.
• Check the gearbox to make sure it has the appropriate amount of oil.
• Inate the tires to the correct operating pressure.
• Close the clean out door at the base of the grain tank.
• Make sure all safety shields are in the proper position.
IMPORTANT: When the grain cart is not going to be used for a period of time, store the cart in a dry, protected place. Leaving your
grain cart outside, open to the weather will shorten its life.
Follow the procedure below when your grain cart is placed in storage for periods up to six months.
1. Cover electronic monitor (if equipped) with plastic before washing the grain cart. Wash or clean and completely lubricate the
grain cart. See the lubrication service section in this manual.
2. Remove all grain from inside the grain tank, auger tube assemblies, and at the clean-out door.
3. Check the gearbox oil and replace with new SAE 80W-90 gearbox lubricant or equivalent if necessary.
4. Touch up areas where paint may have worn away. Use a good quality primer paint, especially before re-applying graphite paint
to the interior slopes of the grain tank.
5. Retract all hydraulic cylinders to prevent the piston rods from rusting.
6. Clean the tires before storage. Inate the tires at regular intervals.
7. Open the clean-out door at the base of the grain tank.
