GATE DELAY INSTRUCTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS
The purpose of the gate delay system is to hold the rear swinging gate in
the open position until the apron has cleaned all of the forage out of the
box. By adjusting the flow control the speed in which the gate closes can
be regulated. When the flow control is properly adjusted the gate will
slowly close as the remainder of the forage is being unloaded. Once the
box is completely unloaded the gate delay will reach a trip position with
the trip arm moving the lower cylinder shaft out of the horizontal slot and
allow the gate to trip closed and latch. For proper operation adjust as fol-
lows: When the gate is completely closed (tight to rear upright) the cable
and eyebolt assembly should be adjusted so the cable has no slack.
Cable should be tight but not over tightened. If cable and eyebolt is over
tightened the lower cylinder will trip out of the L-shaped slot on the lower
bracket prematurely and the gate will try to close before the cylinder is
fully extended. If the cable and eyebolt is too loose the lower cylinder will
not trip out of the L-shaped slot and the cylinder will reach its maximum
stroke and the trip arm will still not be in the tripped position allowing the
gate to close. The gate will be held open by the top cylinder bracket and
the bracket may become damaged over time. The eyebolt and cable will
need to be adjusted periodically to maintain proper operation.
