PRE-OPERATION
GENERAL
Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise
servicing this forage box, you must shutoff and lockout
power to the box. Because this box can be truck
mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary. On
truck mounted units, the connection between the PTO
and box is permanently installed and not intended to be
disconnected. On trucks, disengage the PTO drive, turn
off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the ignition
keys and keep them in your possession to prevent any-
one else from accidentally applying power to the box un-
expectedly. For tractors, disengage the hydraulics, turn
off the engine, set the brakes.
Throughout this manual, when directed to shutoff and
lockout power, be familiar with the previously described
procedures for the type of machine you are operating.
Be sure your forage box is properly mounted to the truck
frame or to the wagon running gear. Consult your dealer
if you have any questions about proper installation. A tie
down kit from the manufacturer and illustrated in the
parts listing of this manual is available for wagon applica
