5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER
Any individual that will be adjusting, servicing, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine needs
to ensure that this machine stays safely “OFF” until the adjustment, service, or maintenance has been
completed, or when the obstruction has been cleared, and that all guards, shields, and covers have been
restored to their original position. The safety of all individuals working on or around this machine, including
family members, are affected. The following procedure will be referred to throughout this manual, so be familiar
with the following steps.
5.3.1 Shutoff & Lockout Power Recommendations
1. Think, Plan and Check
a. Think through the entire procedure and identify all the steps that are required.
b. Plan what personnel will be involved, what needs to be shut down, what guards / shields need to be removed, and
how the equipment will be restarted.
c. Check the machine over to verify all power sources and stored energy have been identified including engines,
hydraulic and pneumatic systems, springs and accumulators, and suspended loads.
2. Communicate - Let everyone involved, including those working on or around this machine, that work is being done
which involves keeping this machine safely “OFF”.
3. Power Sources
a. LOCKOUT - Shut off engines and take the key, or physically lock the start/on switch or control. Disconnect any
power sources which are meant to be disconnected (i.e. electrical, hydraulic, and PTO of pull-type units).
b. TAGOUT - Place a tag on the machine noting the reason for the power source being tagged out and what work is
being done. This is particularly important if the power source is not within your sight and/or will need to be isolated
for a longer period of time.
4. Stored Energy - Neutralize all stored energy from its power source. Ensure that this machine is level, set the parking
brake, and chock the wheels. Disconnect electricity, block moveable parts, release or block spring energy, release
pressure from hydraulic and pneumatic lines, and lower suspended parts to a resting position.
5. Test - Do a complete test and personally double check all of the above steps to verify that all of the power sources are
actually disconnected and locked out.
6. Restore Power - When the work has been completed, follow the same basic procedures, ensuring that all individuals
working on or around this machine are safely clear of the machine before locks and tags are removed and power is
restored.
It is important that everyone who works on this equipment is properly
trained to help ensure that they are familiar with this procedure and
that they follow the steps outlined above. This manual will remind you
when to Shutoff & Lockout Power.

3. Lubricate the equipment. (See 8.1 LUBRICATION)
4. Make sure that all guards and shields are in place, secured and functioning as designed.
5. Check condition of all hydraulic components for leaks. Repair or replace as required.
6. Check the gear box oil level. (See 8.1 LUBRICATION)
7. Inspect the condition of safety lighting. Repair or replace as required.
8. Check to see that no obstructions are present in the forage box. Be sure that there are no tools laying on or in the
forage box.
9. Verify that all electrical and hydraulic connections are tight and secure before operating.
10. Check that all hardware is in place and is tight.
11. Watch for any worn or cracked welds. If found, have qualified personnel repair immediately or replacement is
necessary.
12. Check all bearings for wear. Replace as needed.
13. Check tires for proper inflation.

all of the instructional materials in this Operator’s And Parts Manual
and have been properly trained in its intended usage.
Verify that the forage box is securely fastened to the tractor.
Verify that all electrical / hydraulic connections and bolts / hardware
are tight and securely fastened before operating the forage box.
Always keep all shields and guards in place and securely fastened.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away.
Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury when any of the following
conditions exist:
• When fluids are under pressure.
• Flying debris or loose material is present.
• Tools are being used.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
cause injury. Keep all hoses and connections in good serviceable
condition. Failure to heed may result in serious personal injury or
death.

6.2 LIGHT HOOK-UP
A 7 pin Ag electrical cord is provided to connect the 4 pin electrical control socket to your tractor. This will operate signal,
tail, clearance and brake lights.
6.3 HYDRAULIC HOOK-UP
Requires 40 GPM @ 3000 PSI.
NOTE: With tractors that have limited SCVs: The Axle Lock-Unlock (Optional) can be left disconnected if backing
up isn't required. The Hydraulic Suspension can be disconnected once section 6.5 Set Up is completed
and not intending to use the front lift axle (Optional). The box will run with one set of rear unload lines
connected but will hinder unloading performance substantially.
Tractor PTO Horsepower Requirements: The hydraulic horsepower requirements may not reflect adequate tractor size
for towing the machine. Refer to tractor weight requirements for these recommendations and safety section for additional
tractor and towing requirements.
Call the factory for further information.
