SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts 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.
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 are 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 off 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 traffic and slow moving machines can cause personal injury or death. On
roads, use flasher lights according to local laws. Keep slow-moving-vehicle emblem visible. Pull over to
let faster traffic pass.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate gravity box until all power is shut off.
Keep all safety shields in place. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts while unit 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 off and then use extreme caution when climbing into the grain tank. Never allow anyone in, near
or on the gravity box during transporting or unloading grain. Moving grain is dangerous and can cause
entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by suffocation.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the machine.
Make sure that the implement is fastened securely to the tractor by using the proper hitch pin, clip and
safety chains. Make sure the gravity wagon is properly fastened to the running gear.
Never overload the wagon. Overloading the wagon is dangerous and can cause extensive damage.
Never add more sideboards to the gravity box than what is recommended, as the box is not designed to
carry the additional weight. Do NOT exceed speeds in excess of 20 MPH. Rim, hubs and bearings are
designed for heavy loads at slow speeds. Also be sure slow moving vehicle emblem is attached to rear
of wagon.
Before unhooking the implement from the towing unit, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the
implement from moving.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS / /MAINTENANCE
WARNING - BE CERTAIN THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE SERVICING EQUIPMENT.
Before equipment is put into service:
Has the track assembly (door opener) been lubricated for less wear on the sprocket and track and for
easier door operation?
Has the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) Emblem been positioned with a point of the triangle upward and as
near to the rear and centered or as near to the left of center of the unit as practicable? Is it located two to
ten feet above the ground measured from the lower edge of the emblem?
Has the gravity box been properly attached to the running gear? If no rocking bolster is used, bolt all four
corners (use the 1/2” bolts provided) of the gravity box runners to the running gear. If the box is used in
rough terrain, bolt a minimum of two corners and chain (or cable) the remaining corners to allow more box
flexibility.
Have all braces, bolts, nuts, lug bolts and lug nuts been checked to ensure they are properly fastened?
Have all safety instructions been read and clearly understood by the operator(s) of this machine?
Do the lights work properly? Are all reflective decals clean and visible? Are they positioned correctly?
BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING - 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 too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the
total weight of the equipment and its load.
For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, the following is recommended:
Do NOT tow equipment that does not have brakes at speeds over 32 km/h (20 mph); or that,
when fully loaded, has a mass (weight) over 1.5t (3300 lb) and more than 1.5 times the mass
(weight) of the towing unit.
For towed equipment WITH brakes, the following is recommended:
Do NOT tow equipment that has brakes at speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph); or that, when fully
loaded, has a mass (weight) more than 4.5 times the mass (weight) of the towing unit.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended weight ratio. Use additional caution when towing
loads under adverse conditions, when turning and on inclines.
WARNING
Before filling the gravity box, make certain that no one is inside the grain tank. Never allow children or
anyone in, near or on the gravity box during transport or during loading or unloading of grain. Be aware
that moving grain is dangerous and can cause entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by
suffocation.
After hauling corrosive material such as fertilizers, be sure to wash out the grain tank to prevent
premature rusting. Bare spots on metal should be primer coated before applying the outer surface paint.
Check the box periodically for cracks in welds and for other structural damage. Have cracked welds fixed
immediately. Failure to do so could result in extensive damage and greatly reduce the life of the gravity
box.

Center Diverter Chute Assembly Instructions
1. Locate the plates on both underneath sides of the door. There is a
3/8” tapped hole located on each plate. Attach the Center Diverter
Chute using one 3/8” hex bolt, washer and lock nut as shown.
Insert the 3/8” bolt through the pre-punched hole in the chute. Thread the nut onto the bolt until
approximately half of the threads are exposed. Screw the bolt through the pre-tapped hole in the plate
under the gravity box until the nut is against the plate. This allows the bolt to be used as a pivot so the
center diverter chute can swing freely.
2. Lift the Side Dump Chute up into
storage position. Rotate the Center
Diverter Chute up against the Side
Dump Chute. Extend the chain on the
Center Diverter Chute up to the center
of the Side Dump Chute so the chain is
tight. Mark and drill one 3/8” hole in the
Side Dump Chute and attach the chain
a couple of links from the end using one
3/8” stove bolt and nut. Be sure to
position the head of the stove bolt on
the inside of the Side Dump Chute.
