JUNE 2013 Procedure for Set-up and Take Down for Second Storey Loader 1. Position the loader approximately 6" from the side of the barn to allow suffi cient clearance to raise the main conveyor to the second storey. The loader should be setup on reasonably level ground with a solid footing. 2. Remove the tow vehicle by raising the front end of the loader using the front stabilizing jacks. 3. Lower the front stabilizing jacks to a level position and lower the rear stabilizing jacks. Set the stabilizing jacks as required to level and stabilize the loader. 4. Connect the hydraulic lines to your tractor or other power source. For second story operation, the supply hoses must be removed from their storage hooks on the left side of the loader. 5. Set the selector valve to operate the two-storey cross lift. 6. Attach both chains hanging at the front end of the trailer frame and attach to the main conveyor. 7. Raise the left side rear post from its stored position and secure using the left side brace. 8. Adjust the raceway height on the left post to a position where the bottom of the raceway is just above the barn fl oor. (1"-3") 9. Remove the locking pins on the cross pipe at the front end. Raise the two storey lift cylinders using the control valve mounted on the left fender. When the anchor chains become taut, continue lifting until the cross pipe is clear of the saddle. Roll the cross pipe back to the end of the slot and secure in position with the locking pins. 10. The loader must be in the forward most position when lifting the conveyor to the second fl oor. (This is the same position as the transport position.) 11. Continue to raise the two-storey lift cylinders to the position where the rear left plastic roller becomes level with the raceway on the left rear post and slightly nudges it. Manually pull the post outward until it is resting on the side of the roller. 12. Slowly resume lifting the rear of the conveyor frame until the rear post returns to its original position and the plastic roller is within the raceway. You may adjust the leveling jacks up/down to align the roller to enter the track. 13. When raising the loader to the second fl oor, ensure the safety chain is attached preventing the pre-loader from coming out the front of the conveyor. 54
