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, setthe parking brake, removethe ignition
keys and keep them in your possession to prevent any
-
one else from accidentallyapplying power to the boxun
-
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.

frame or to the wagon running gear. Consult your dealer
if you have any questions about proper installation. A tie
