MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing the unit:

1. Remove the ignition key from the power unit engine.

2.

Make sure that all movement of the unit has ceased. ONLY when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the above procedure, could lead to death or serious bodily injury.

3. Attach jack to unit and raise up to transfer weight to the jack.

4. Keep hitch pin attached to help prevent unit from accidentally moving.

5. Disconnect the PTO.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY REMINDERS

USER/OPERATOR SAFETY PRACTICES intended to promote SAFE OPERATION are included in this Operation Manual and are of the unit.

These guidelines do not preclude the use of good judgment, care, and common sense as may be indicated by the particular job site work conditions.

It is essential that operators be physically and mentally free of mind altering drugs and chemicals and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the unit. Such training should be presented completely to all new operators and not condensed for those claiming previous experience.

Some photographs used in this manual may show Doors, Guards, and Shields open or removed for illustration purposes ONLY.

BE SURE that all Doors, Guards, and Shields are in their proper operating positions BEFORE operating the unit.

NEVER operate this unit with any guards or shields not in place. Replace any missing or damaged ones.

Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts.

The operator MUST know the capabilities and work applications for the machine, and operate it at speeds slow enough to insure complete control at all times. When working on uneven ground or near the edge of roadbeds, there is no substitute for good judgment and only operators with sufficient experience should attempt such work.

NEVER assume that everybody is as safety conscious as you are.

PER OPERATION SAFETY

-Before each tow: Check that the tail lights, brake lights and turn signals work correctly.

-Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision.

-Do not operate on public roads after dark without warning lights.

-Be sure the rear of the unit has a clean “slow moving vehicle” emblem properly displayed. If towing at less than 20 mph on any public roadway at night, proper warning and running lights are necessary as required by state law!

-DO NOT pull the unit without having safety chains (not supplied) securing the unit to the tractor.

-Refer to local transportation laws for regulation on safety chain use. Maximum speed is 20 mph.

-Size of tractor must be sufficient to maintain vehicle stability when fully loaded.

-Always use a hitch pin that has a safety clip pin!

-If unit is equipped with the braking system, check oil level and braking capacity with a full load on unit before operating the unit.

-Check wheel bolts daily and tighten them as required.


-Insure all guards are in place before using.

-Replace any parts which show signs of excessive wear, cracking, or likelihood of failure, with original equipment service parts.

-Be familiar with the levers controlling all hydraulically controlled components.

-Before loading , make sure that the unit does not have any foreign object or material in it that can cause equipment damage or personal injury.

-Never enter the unit unless it is absolutely necessary. If a unit must be entered, take proper safety precautions. This includes someone at the site, outside the unit and a proper life support system.

OPERATION SAFETY

-Be alert and avoid loose, soft or icy surface conditions that could cause tipping or loss of control.

-When possible, travel by driving up or down the slope. Avoid traveling along side hills.

-Always check the job site for hazardous terrain, obstructions or bystanders.

-Slow down prior to going down any steep grade.

-Never take tractor out of gear when going downhill.

-Do not exceed the maximum weight carrying capacity of the equipment or the tractor manufacturer’s maximum towing capacity; which ever is lower.

-Never use a tractor that is not recommended for the type of unit you are using. If you have any questions contact your Balzer Dealer.

-When agitating a pit, always be sure there is adequate ventilation in any confined area. (If Applicable)


-Do not stand in front, behind, or along side of the machine when machine is running.

-When parking unit, block wheels securely before unhitching from tractor.

TOWING SAFETY

-THE MAX SPEED OF THE TOWING TRACTOR IS 20 MPH.

-Observe recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which ever may be lower.

-Always move unit with a farm tractor only!

-ALWAYS ENGAGE power-steering before turning with loaded unit. (Lever In Float Position)

-DO NOT DISENGAGE power-steering before turning process is over. (Lever In Float Position)

-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 towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.

-Tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface condition, when turning, and on inclines.

Safety

SAFETY SIGNS ARE IMPORTANT

Safety signs or decals provide very important information and instructions designed to alert you to dangers and hazards that can be present during operation of this equipment. However, safety sign instructions must be read, understood and followed to be effective.

REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY SIGNS

Safety signs or decals must be kept clean and readable. If they become unreadable for any reason, they must be replaced with an identical replacement decal. Safety decals must also be replaced if parts are repaired or replaced with new parts that do not already include the necessary safety decals.

APPLICATION OF SAFETY DECALS

Surface preparation is very important for safety decals to properly adhere. Grease, oil and dirt must be removed and the surface must be smooth and dry.

Most decals have a split backing which is meant to be removed from the split outward. To apply the decals follow these procedures:

1. Position the decal in the proper location and hold firmly over the largest portion of backing.

2. Use one hand to hold the decal in position, with the other hand carefully roll the loose end over and peel the backing outward. When the backing is removed as described and shown (Fig. 1), with even and gradual pulling, the decal will roll onto the surface smooth and wrinkle free.

3. With the smallest portion of the decal attached, the same procedure can be applied to the other half.

BALZER

INC.

4. When the decal has been attached in place, use a cloth or soft paper towel to burnish the decal onto the cleaned surface. Work gently from the middle outwards to avoid creating any wrinkles.

STEERING SYSTEM

The steering cylinders have two internal functions.

First, moving the tractor hydraulic level to the “Float Position” allows the unit to steer. This is accomplished by hydraulic hoses connected to each cylinder. When the unit is turning, oil is forced out of one cylinder and into the other cylinder. This requires that there is no air in the hydraulic hoses or cylinders to function correctly.

The second function is used for backing up. Move tractor hydraulic lever to engage the cylinder.

This will force the cylinder to align the steering to the “Center” or straight position.

If oil is lost or air enters into the system, it must be bled. See “Bleeding Instructions for Tandem

Auto Steering” or “ Bleeding Instructions for Bleeding Tridem Auto Steering” to correct the issue.

Common Information

This system consists of three axles which are suspended from the unit frame by hydraulic cylinders.

Each axle uses two hydraulic cylinders, one located at each outer end of the axle. These hydraulic cylinders transmit the tank load to the axles. The axles are attached to the unit frame by four parallel links, two at each outer end of each axle. Each axle is also attached to the unit frame by one sway bar that attaches crossway and controls the side to side movement. The parallel links and the sway bar only stabilize the axle, they do not carry any weight.

Suspension Hydraulics

Each side of the unit uses three hydraulic cylinders. On each side of the unit, the three hydraulic cylinders are connected together by hydraulic hose. Hydraulic oil can only move between the hydraulic cylinders of one side, the right side of the unit is independent of the left side of the unit.

This system allows the hydraulic oil to move from one suspension cylinder to the other two suspension evenly, in order not to overload any of the axles. This would occur as the tire on that axle was lifted or lowered by a bump or hole in its path.

Suspension Limits

Care must be taken to travel where the suspension will not be pushed beyond its limits. The suspension cylinders will allow a single tire to travel over a 10” tall bump and through a 10” deep hole. If these limits are exceeded, damage to the suspension will occur. This is very important not only to prevent damage, but to promote safe operation.

Suspension Height Adjustment

The front cylinder on each side of the unit has a ball valve and auxiliary hydraulic hose. The ball valves lock the hydraulic oil within the three cylinders on each side during normal operation. The suspension cylinder at the second axle must be extended 6”-7” . Adjust the suspension cylinder only when the unit is empty or not loaded. Connect the auxiliary hydraulic hose to a hydraulic source that can provide a minimum of 2500 PSI . After the connection has been made the ball valve can be opened and oil added to extend the suspension cylinder to the 6” to 7” measurement . Close the ball valve and disconnect from the hydraulic source. This procedure is the same for both sides of the unit.

BRAKING SYSTEM

Pressure Releasing Spring

Some tractors hydraulic systems keep a small amount of pressure in the hydraulic lines even when the control lever is set to “float” position. A pressure releasing spring is used to counteract the hydraulic pressure coming from the tractor.

Brake Operation

Tractors with “closed center or open center” hydraulic circuit

1. To apply the brakes, the lever must be pulled fully backward.

2. To release the brakes, the lever must be pushed fully forward to the “float position”.

Inspection Of Braking Fluid Level

If the spring is compressed down to 8” or less when braking, add hydraulic fluid as per “Fill Instructions for Master Cylinder” .

When the master is fully extended, the pressure release spring measures roughly 16” long.

Fill Instructions for Master Cylinder

The master cylinder of the braking system is designed to create a vacuum in the hydraulic lines leading to the calipers. When the brakes are fully released, the vacuum created pulls the piston of the calipers to fully retract, which disengages the brakes on the unit. To do so, the master cylinder must never be full of hydraulic fluid when braking.

1. Attach jumper hose #72182 to (“A” port) and (“B” port).

2. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor ( RED marked hoses).

3. Open ball valve to (“A” port).

4. Apply and hold pressure to braking system from tractor hydraulics.

5. Relieve all pressure from the hydraulic lines from the tractor for the braking system (RED marked hoses).

6. Close Ball Valve to (”A” port).

7. Remove jumper hose #72182 from (“A” port) and (“B” port).

8. Apply and hold pressure to braking system.

9. Open bleeder screw on any brake caliper.

(This will allow the master cylinder spring to compress down to 14” long.

10. When the master cylinder has compressed down to 14” long, tighten bleeder screw.

When adding braking fluid to the master cylinder for the last time, the pressure releasing spring must be held compressed at 14” long.

PTO/JACK

PTO

The PTO has 1 3/4—20 tractor ends and 1 3/4—20 implement ends. The implement end provides a friction clutch or shear bolt that protects the gear box and drive-line from overload. The PTO must be engaged slowly, use max modulation on tractor.

Do not slam engage!

Shear Bolt

Never operate without PTO Guards!

STEERING LUBRICATION

There are four (4) grease fittings located on the center pivot tube; two (2) on the top and two (2) on the bottom of the round center pivot tube of each Tandem arm.

There are four (4) grease fittings located on the kingpins . Two (2) on the top and two (2) on the bottom.

To grease the hinge kingpins, it is best to have the wheels steering straight one time, to the left the next time and finally to the right. This process insures that grease is getting to all areas of the kingpin.

Grease each location until new grease can be seen being pushed out.

The king pin requires grease every 4 hours the unit is in operation.

Proper steering is dependant upon adequate greasing.

When conditions are dry and dusty, the tandem arms and kingpins will require grease more often.

The tandem axle pivot tube requires grease every 8 hours the unit is in operation.

LUBRICATION—CHAIN OILER

The oil reservoir to lubricate both drive chains holds about 1 gallon of hydraulic oil. To determine the amount of oil flow, it is best to unscrew one or both lines and visually see the oil flow. Frequency of lubrication should be based on current field conditions. Duration of lubrication should be based on volume of oil flowing through hoses. Under normal field and weather conditions, the chains should be lubricated with approximately 1 ounce of oil every 4 loads.

68


Lubrication Horizontal Auger

The bearing located at the rear end of the horizontal auger should get 1 to 2 careful pumps of grease every 2 days of constant use.

BALZER

INC.

The middle bearing for the horizontal auger has a grease line and fitting that permits greasing externally. This location should get a liberal greasing after every 4 hours of constant use in normal conditions. In dusty or dry conditions, more frequent greasing is recommended.

The bearing at the front end of the horizontal auger has a grease line and fitting that permits greasing externally. This location should get 1 to 2 careful pumps of grease every day of constant use.

The bearing at the bottom end of the vertical auger has a grease line and fitting that permits greasing externally. This location should get 1 to

2 careful pumps of grease every day of constant use.

Excessive pressure while applying grease can be harmful to the bearing seals.

Troubleshooting

BALZER

INC.

1) Trouble with steering of rear axles on Tandem or front and rear of Tridem models.

A) Ensure the hydraulic line for the steering (YELLOW color) is in the float side of the tractors hydraulic bank.

B) Grease the kingpin assemblies two (2) grease fittings on both sides in the straight position and in the turned position. This kingpin assembly must be greased daily in order for the steering system to function properly.

C)Remove brass breather vent from bottom of steering cylinder and clean with solvent and compressed air. DO NOT USE WIRE BRUSH, VENT WILL BE DAMAGED. Spray WD-40

(nothing more aggressive) up into hole to remove build-up and to lubricate cylinder bore.

D) System may have air trapped inside resulting in a malfunction. This requires the hydraulic steering system to be bled. See “Bleeding Instructions for Tandem Auto Steering” or “Bleeding

Instructions for Tridem Auto Steering”

E) If the system is still not steering properly, call Balzer’s Service Department at 1-800-795-8551

Extension 134 or 0 for the operator.

2) Automatic chain oiler doesn’t appear to let oil drain.

A) Unscrew the cap of the oil reservoir and then open the valve.

B) If this doesn’t work, call Balzer’s Service Department at 1-800-795-8551 Extension 134 or 0 for the operator.

3) Trouble figuring out which hydraulic hoses go where.

A) RED marked hose = Brake Cylinders (Note: if option is available on your cart.)

B) YELLOW marked hose = Steering System

C) BLUE marked hose = Inside Grain Doors

D) BLUE/RED = Swivel Auger Controls

E) ORANGE marked hose = Unload Auger Fold

F) NO COLOR = Clutch

4) Unload auger has abnormal vibration.

A) Ensure the hydraulic fold cylinder is extended to the full stroke position. This is needed in order to lock the two halves together.

B) May require the clevis on the high end of the hydraulic cylinder to be adjusted to ensure the system is being locked when the cylinder is in the full stroke position.

C) Ensure the drive train tensioner has been properly adjusted to take the slack out of the chain.

D) If the vibration does not stop, call Balzer’s Service Department at 1-800-795-8551 Extension

134 or 0 for the operator.

NOTE

“Grain Door Timing” In most cases, each time the grain doors are closed, they will re-open evenly. If this is not occurring and is considered a problem contact Blazer for information and help solving the situation.

5) Trouble backing up with steering wheels going in the wrong direction (Note: This may occur in extreme conditions such as mud, ice and/or snow.)

A) Take the hydraulic line out of the float position and then move the lever to pressurize the cylinders. This will straighten the tires and then lock them.

B) System is still not steering properly, call Balzer’s Service Department at 1-800-795-8551

E) Push and hold trigger to run clutch. This will lower vertical upper auger down to the saddle.

This will temporally bypass the safety device to prevent folding swivel auger when auger is not rotated correctly.

F) Now re-adjust magnetic limit switch till RED light on the joystick turns on.

G) Reconnect the wires.(Wires Marked #3 and #9)

H) If auger still will not fold up or down, call Balzer's Service Department at 1-800-795-8551 extension


7) When unfolding vertical upper auger to unload, it is slamming down hard.

A) Unfold vertical upper auger all the way.

B) There is a bleeder screw on the vertical upper auger on the rod end of the cylinder. Crack open the screw just a little to let the air bubbles out.

C) Close bleed screw tightly.

D) You might have to fold and unfold vertical upper auger a couple of times to push all the air out.

E) If auger is still slamming down hard, call Balzer's Service Department at 1-800-795-8551 extension


8) Joystick will not work.

A) Check and make sure that you have a minimum of 11 volts at all times.

NOTE

Some tractors with a lot of electrical devices turned on at the same time may run a little low on voltage. Try turning off un-needed devices to obtain the minimum voltage level.

B) If joystick is still not working, call Balzer's Service Department at 1-800-795-8551 extension 134 or 0 for the operator.
