    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

    - Keep ALL guards in place.

    - DO NOT attempt to clean, oil or adjust machine while in operation.

    - Make certain everyone is clear of equipment before applying power.

    - Keep hands, feet and clothing AWAY from power driven parts.

    - BE SURE main switch is off before resetting motor thermals.

    FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT

    IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY

    1 - Never stand underneath a suspended silo unloader.

    2 - Never work on a silo unloader that is suspended. Always lower silo unloader to silage level to work on it.

    3 - Never crawl out on a suspended silo unloader.

    4 - Always leave at least three feet of suspension cable between the suspension arms and the cable pulleys.

    Snubbing the unloader any tighter at the top could cause undue strain on the suspension, which might cause

    the unloader to fall.

    5 - Shut off an lock main power switch before entering silo. While working in silo, disconnect electrical

    connectors located at end of discharge chute or suspension arms.

    6 - Never go into a silo to work on a moving silo unloader, stay in silo chute to observe operation.

    7 - Never disconnect the electrical cord connector if the silo unloader is running because moisture conditions

    inside the silo could give you a severe shock.

    8 - Always inspect suspension cables carefully before you raise unloader to top of silo.

    9 - Beware of silo gases.

    10 – Always call upon a qualified electrician for electrical problems.

    11 -THINK SAFETY and live longer.

    Most farm accidents, like industrial, home and highway accidents, are caused by failure of some individual

    to observe simple and fundamental safe rules or precaution. For this reason farm accidents, just as other types

    of accidents, can be prevented by recognizing the cause of accidents and doing something about it before

    accidents occurs.

    Regardless of care used in the design and construction of farm equipment, there are many points that cannot be

    completely safeguarded without interfering with accessibility and efficient operation.

    A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident.

    The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many thousands of serious injuries each year.

    That rule is "NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION."

    DANGER : SILO GAS IS DEADLY !

    Silage fermentation may produce several kinds of gas, including carbon dioxide and nitric oxide (which then produces nitrogen

    dioxide). Carbon dioxide is non-poisonous, although it can cause suffocation.

    Nitrogen dioxide (N02), however, is poisonous. It kills and injures people as well as livestock.

    Nitrogen dioxide is a hazard on the farm because:

    1. Exposure can be fatal.

    2. Formation of nitrogen dioxide from nitric oxide may occur whenever silage is made.

    WHAT IS THIS GAS?

    The lethal gas is yellowish-brown and smells like some laundry bleaches. After more oxidation, it forms N205 which then

    forms highly-corrosive nitric acid when combined with water. Since oxidation may occur in the body, nitrogen dioxide can

    produce permanent lung damage.

    WHERE DOES IT HIDE?

    Since nitrogen dioxide is heavier than air, it remains beneath the air mass over the silage. It layers on top of the silage below

    the upper edge of the top door or settles down through the chute. It may also seep through the drain at the base of the silo. It

    often concentrates in the silo room and moves into the barn. It will leave a yellow stain on silage, wood or other materials it

    contacts.

    HOW TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER

    While growing the crop:

    1. Apply adequate nitrogen, but don’t over do. As a guide, corn needs 1.2 lbs. of N per bushel yield, oats and/or Sudan grass

    used for silage should have no more than 75 lbs. of N available for each harvest. Since this includes both N in the soil and

    that applied, follow the recommendations on soil analysis reports.

    2. After a drought, rapid nitrate uptake occurs in plants flowing rain. So harvest the crop before fall rains, or wait at least five

    days after a rain.

    3. Plants damaged by hail or frost should be harvested immediately before they take up nitrates.

    4. To reduce the amount of nitrate going into silage, cut higher than normally (10-12 inches). Most nitrates are in the lower

    stalk.

    While filling the silo:

    1. Be on the alert for bleach-like odors and/or yellowish-brown fumes in or near the silo. Small amounts of the gas may not

    be visible or easily detected by smell, but are still dangerous. (Greatest danger is 12 to 60 hours after filling silo).

    2. If you must enter the silo, run the silage blower at full speed for a minimum of 1 hour (longer if silo is less than half full).

    Never enter the silo alone during the danger period. Always have someone outside of silo who can communicate with you

    at all times. If the person entering the silo is overcome by gas, the person outside the silo should not enter the silo unless

    they have proper breathing equipment. In all cases notify Emergency Rescue Assistance immediately.

    3. Remove upper chute doors down to settled silage this allowing gases to escape through chute and not collect in the silo.

    Be sure to run a blower and ventilate the silo chute well with fans.

    4. Ventilate the silo room adequately for at least two weeks after filling. Open the windows and outside door of the silo room

    and use fans.

    5. Keep the door between the silo room and barn closed to prevent nitrogen dioxide gas from killing livestock.

    6. If you experience the slightest throat irritation or coughing in the silo, get into fresh air quickly and stay away from the silo

    area as long as gas may be present. (If exposed to silo gas, call your doctor as soon as possible).

    ADJUSTING THE SILO UNLOADER

    PRESSURE WHEEL, GUIDE WHEEL AND WALL WHEELS.

    1-The pressure wheel should run against the silo wall at all times. Its purpose is to hold the auger wall wheels in contact with the silo

    wall and to insure that all material is removed from the wall area. Normal adjustment of the pressure wheel is when the spring is extended

    4". During extremely frozen conditions, it may be necessary to increase the spring force. This is done by moving the hook on the spring to

    a different chain link when tension is released. After changing pressure wheel adjustment, you should always watch the unloader rotate

    around the silo at least once to make sure that your adjustment will not cause the pressure wheel to exert force on the unloader. Observe

    operation from safety of silo chute.

    2-The unloader is kept centered in the silo by the side guide wheel , this is the one extending out at approximately a 90 degree angle

    from the auger. The guide wheel should run against the silo whall at all times. You can get the correct setting for this wheel by first

    measuring the maximum silo diameter. Then extend the wheel so that the distance from near side of the impeller housing to the edge of

    the wheel is equal to one half the maximum diameter of the silo. You can tell when this adjustment is incorrect by a pile of undisturbed

    silage being left in the center of the silo directly under the impeller housing. If this occurs, the wheel is probably not extended out far

    enough.

    3-The position of the wall wheels in relation to the auger, determines the closeness of the chipper knives to the silo wall. This is very

    critical in freezing weather and should be set so the chipper knives are within 1/8" of the silo wall. Adjust by loosening the bolts wich

    secure the wall wheel bracket to the auger frame and turn the adjusting screw out or in to obtain the correct adjustment. After you make

    any change in the wall wheel setting, rotate the unloader around the silo to make sure the chipper blades do not hit the wall at any place.

    Observe operation from safety of silo chute. The trailing wheel will generally be in contact with the silo wall except near the silo doors.

    As the machine approaches a door, the lead wheel will come in contact with the flattened wall and protect it from being damaged by the

    chipper knives.

  • Silo unloader hybrid model 43 2012-08-15

    OPERATING THE SILO UNLOADER

    For trouble-free operation of your silo unloader, the following operator schedule is recommended.

    After turning off the silo unloader at the end of feeding, raise the machine off the silage pack.

    During extreme cold weather if the motor switch is turned on and off momentarily after raising, this will clear the impeller

    of any material left in it for easier starting at the next feeding. To begin feeding again, lower the unloader the same

    amount that it was raised previously. Now turn on the motor switch.

    When you turn on the silo unloader, the needle will flick over to a maximum reading. The ammeter is designed so that this

    initial surge of current will not damage it. A couple of seconds after starting, the ammeter will level off at the normal load

    current for your motor. Most reliable, efficient operation and highest capacity will be obtained when you operate your silo

    unloader motor in its proper amperage range.

    After the unloader has completed its revolution around the silo, the silage flow will decrease and the unloader should

    again be lowered the amount necessary to load the motor to rated current. Observation will tell you how many turns of the

    crank are necessary to do this. Five turns lower the unloader about one inch. Slight overloading or underloading will not

    damage the equipment and is much better for it than continuous jockeying up and down the hoist.

    A complete revolution around the silo will take about 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the model. Should any obstruction

    occur in the silo during this 5 minutes period, a built in clutch will prevent damage to the equipment.

    If the impeller should become plugged due to long hard-to-handle material or rotten material from the top of the silo, the

    stall current of the motor is such that it will trip the overload device in the control box at the bottom of the silo before

    damage is done to the motor or the unloader. Whenever this happens, you should go up and find the cause of the

    stoppage before attempting to restart the unloader.

    The curved discharge chute is designed to allow maximum lowering for a given size of silo before it is necessary to move

    the discharge chute down to another silo door. This discharge chute should be lowered every two doors. This would

    be a good opportunity for you to take the time to check your unloader.

    DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT POWER SOURCE BEFORE ADJUSTING

    OR SERVICING UNIT.

    1- Before entering the silo chute be sure the power to the unloader has been turned off and locked.

    2- If your unloader is equipped with a remote control switch, lock the stop button down so the unloader cannot be

    started accidentally and take the remote switch with you.

    3- As soon as you climb the silo chute to the door through which the material was being thrown out, reach into the

    silo and unplug the power cord to the silo unloader.

    4- Remove the torque arm bracket from the door frame and lower it.

    5- Unless equiped with cord looping, unhook the power cord grip and reattach it to a ladder rung just above

    the next discharge door you will use.

    6- Before leaving the silo you should check the machine over thoroughly.

    7- After you are out in the silo chute, plug the cord connectors together before climbing down.

    LUBRICATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

    TO BE MADE BEFORE STARTING-UP UNLOADER AND PERIODICALLY

    GREASE COLLECTOR RING

    There are 4 grease fittings located underneath the

    collector ring. Grease these zerks with two pumps

    from a hand grease gun only. Grease the 2 outer

    zerks monthly. Grease the 2 inner zerks semi

    annually. Do not over grease.

    GREASE BEARINGS

    Grease impeller pillow block bearings once a month

    GREASE TORQUE LIMITER ON VS-3000

    TRANSMISSION

    The torque limiter is located on the output shaft of the

    ring drive gearbox. It was factory set and does not

    require any adjustements. Grease the torque limiter

    monthly.

    LUBRICATE VERTICAL RAISING WHEEL AND PIVOT

    Oil the vertical raising wheel and pivot.

  • Silo unloader hybrid model 45 2012-08-15

    CHECK OIL LEVEL IN VS-3000

    TRANSMISSION

    Lubricant level should be checked in the ring

    drive gearbox every time you go into the silo to

    change door; this is accomplished by viewing

    the oil level through the sight plug located on

    the gearbox. If lubricant level is low, add EP 80-

    90 high pressure gear lubricant.

    CHECK OIL LEVEL IN VS-2250

    TRANSMISSION

    The gear lubricant level in the auger gearbox should

    also be checked every time you go into the silo to

    change door. If lubricant level is low, add synthetic oil

    Shell Spirax S75W90.

    CHECK OIL LEVEL IN WORM GEAR HOIST

    The lubrication level in the worm gear hoist should be

    checked every 6 months and every time you will raise

    the unloader to the top of silo. The oil level should be

    visible in the oil level sight plug. If oil is low, add

    EP 80-90 extreme pressure gear lubricant. Lubricant

    should be changed annually.

    The hoist cable assembly will have a much longer life

    if lubricated with motor oil or gear lubricant.

    You should do this when the unloader has been raised

    to the top of the silo and all the cable is wrapped on

    the hoist.Paint on a liberal coat and allow it to drip

    off.

    During initial unloading operation, some stretch of the impeller and auger belts may occur, and belts should be

    readjusted. To tighten these drive belts, loosen the 4 horizontal carriage bolts through the motor mount, move

    motor mount away from impeller with take-up "J" bolt and tilt motor plate upward with 1/2" hex. bolt on under

    side of motor mount. If auger belts becomes tight before impeller belts, then motor plate must be lowered while

    moving motor mount further away from impeller. If impeller belts becomes tight before auger belts, then motor

    mount must be moved back toward impeller while raising motor plate with set screw. Adjustment in the

    horizontal direction and upward direction must be made together so that all belts become tight at the same time.

    The correct tension for one impeller belt may be determined by placing a 6 pounds force at the mid-point

    between the 2 pulleys. This should depress the belt 1/4" to 3/8". The correct tension for one auger drive belt

    may be determined by placing a 6 pounds force at the mid-point between the 2 pulleys. This should depress the

    belt 1/8" to 3/16".

    Avoid overtightening belts. It may cause bearing damage.

    After the belts are properly tensioned, tighten the 1/2" lock nut on the 1/2" adjusting bolt, lock the 3/8" nut on

    take-up "J" bolt, and tighten four horizontal carriage bolts.

  • Silo unloader hybrid model 49 2012-08-15

    -Take the power cord up the silo chute and hang the cord support on a ladder rung near the top of the

    silo (unless unloader is equipped with a cord looping kit.)

    -Flip the raising wheel to the stored position (away from the silo wall.)

    -Plug in the unloader distributor (make sure there is sufficient slack in the power cord to prevent

    pulling the connection apart) and let it rotate around the silo until the guide whell is near a silo door.

    -Turn the guide wheel caster to a level position and tighten its set screw.

    -Continue operating the unloader around the silo at least once to make sure it moves freely.

    -Do not connect torque chain to door frame during filling. If optional torque arm is used, store it.

    Do not put in door frame during filling.

    OPERATING THE DISTRIBUTOR

    Always make sure that the unloader distributor is operating when filling. If the time between loads is

    less than three minutes, it may be advisable to allow it to operate continuously to reduce the likelihood

    of filling with the distributor not moving.

    DANGER

    NEVER ENTER A SILO UNDER A SUSPENDED SILO UNLOADER
