Your Root/Cereal Bucket is a low maintenance machine, and requires minimum mechanical attention as such, other than greasing. WEIGHT 5 = 405kgs including brackets 6 6 1.7m³ = 535kgs including brackets 7 6 1.9m³ = 610kgs including brackets Your Root/Cereal Bucket is not to be used for any other purpose than for which it is intended - that is the collection, discharge and chopping of root feed and discharging cereals. Damage as a result of use for other purposes will not be covered under warranty. The specifications, descriptions and illustrations in this manual are accurate at the time of publication but may be subject to change. This bucket can be used to discharge cereals/nuts/minerals via an open stone trap.
4 SPOUT FITTING INSTRUCTIONS Spout requires fitting to stone trap before operation. 1. Push spout shaft fully in to nylon bush located on end of auger shaft. 2. Spout will turn freely on shaft to enable alignment of yellow markers. 3. Locate fixing bolts (M10 x 30mm cup head square) x 6 into flanges, and ensure flange edges are flush and level and tighten bolts using washers (on nylock side only) and nylock nuts. Ensure these are tight.
5 SAFETY All operators of the buckets forklift/loader must hold the appropriate forklift licence or certificate of competence to do so. All operators must be familiar with the Root/Cereal Bucket Operators Manual and forklift/loader operations prior to use.

6 Ensure that you are working in an area clear of obstructions and watch out for wandering individuals (particularly children!). Ensure that you are working in an area clear of obstructions and watch out for wandering individuals (particularly children!). IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Take extra care when attaching the Root/Cereal Bucket to the forklift/loader to ensure that it is attached correctly via the bracketing and hydraulic fittings. (See page 7 Connection to the forklift/loader). Ensure that the forklift/loader and its hydraulic system is in full working order. Never allow any person to stand between the forklift/loader and the Root/Cereal bucket during connection or at any time. Ensure that the brackets are connected fully before operation. Take into account the protrusions of the Root/Cereal Bucket from the forklift carriage when manoeuvring around and take particular care when approaching junctions and negotiating corners. The driving characteristics of the forklift/loader are influenced and altered by the attachment of mounted machines and it is important to ensure adequate steering and braking ability as required. Never allow any person to ride on or in the bucket at any time Never perform any adjustments to the bucket whilst mounted, unless the forklift/loader is stopped, turned off and the bucket is resting on the ground where possible. Ensure that the forklift/loader cannot roll away by use of a park brake or wheel chocks. Never allow any person to stand or work beneath a suspended load. It is forbidden to allow persons to ride on the bucket or the forklift/loader it is attached to, at any time.
7 CONNECTION TO THE FORKLIFT/LOADER Your Root/Cereal Bucket will be delivered already fitted with the correct bolt-on bracketing, hydraulic fittings and hydraulic hose to fit your forklift/loader. If for any reason the fittings are lost or damaged they must be replaced with the following specification of fitting; QUICK-HITCH brackets or LOADER BRACKETS require the following U Bolt fittings; 8 X M16 X 120mm U Bolts 16 X M16 Nylock nuts/washers For your own safety and the safety of others, always use the correct fittings to attach bolt-on bracketing to the rear of the unit. Always place the unit on the ground and turn off the forklift/loader before attempting any changes. CREATING OFFSET (Before Attachment to Forklift) The bracketing on a 1.7m³ bucket will be offset at the point of manufacture, however if you need to change the offset for any reason the procedure is as follows; 1. Remove all 16 nylock nuts and reposition the bracket. It is important to maintain the correct spacing between the brackets and that on tightening up the bolts make sure that the brackets remain square to the bracket mounting frame. REPLACE THE M16 NYLOCK NUTS EACH TIME THE BRACKETS HAVE BEEN REPOSITIONED AND ENSURE THEY ARE ALL THOUGHERLY TIGHTEND. ATTACHMENT Stand the Root/Cereal Bucket in an area free from obstruction to allow you to drive the forklift/loader towards the bracketing. For Quick Hitch bracketing, connect as you would with any other attachment and the type of bracketing fitted to the rear of the bucket. Attach the hydraulic hoses via the pipes and fittings supplied to fit your forklift/loader whilst it is TURNED OFF. For eased the hoses are marked FEED and RETURN. FEED is to drive the auger forwards to discharge.
8 RETURN will reverse the auger. YOU ARE NOW READY FOR OPERATION. ON FIRST USE (CHAIN TENSION PHASE) Your Root/Cereal Bucket is run and tested prior to delivery, however it is important to check the chains tensions and taper lock grub screws for tightness after first use and adjustment may be necessary. Please follow instructions on how to tension the chain and tighten grub screws below; Chain HOW TO TENSION CHAIN 1. Partly unscrew (about ½ turn) the tensioner nut. 2. Using the tensioner spacer as the levering point, push the spacer along the slider to tighten the chain as required and re-tighten the nut. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN CHAIN APPROX 6mm of movement is recommended. Remember to replace the guard after any alterations. TIGHTNESS OF GRUB SCREWS Please ensure the 4 x grub screws are tight after first use and weekly thereafter. Grub screws are located 2 on each bracket.
9 OPERATION Once the Root/Cereal Bucket is attached to the forklift/loader correctly you can begin operation. The following step by step procedure will take you through the basic operation of the machine; 1. Shovel into heap to fill bucket with root feed. 2. Back bucket and drive to desired location. 3. When ready start the flow of hydraulic oil to the bucket by operating the lever inside the forklift cab. 4. Position the forklift/loader so that on discharge, the product will fall as required. As standard the bucket will discharge to the left (from the driver s seat of your forklift/loader). 5. If you decide not to empty the whole bucket fully, stop the flow of hydraulic oil and the auger will stop, enabling you to move to another location. 6. Repeat the process. The speed is pre-set before delivery and you do not need to worry about feathering the controls as the bucket will operate at a steady speed without jarring. MANUAL STONE TRAP TO REMOVE A BLOCKAGE All feed should be as clean and free from foreign bodies such as stones for the health of your animals and the lifespan of your bucket. However if you experience a blockage due to a stone; 1. Stop flow of oil ASAP. 2. Release pressure or back up auger ½m to free stone, which should drop into the trap. 3. Turn off forklift/handler before leaving cab. 4. Open stone trap. 5. Release foreign object. 6. Close stone trap. 7. Re-start forklift and continue operation.
10 IF HYDRAULIC STONE TRAP 1. Reverse auger as soon as blockage discovered. This automatically opens the stone trap and the stone should fall from bucket. 2. Run auger as normal to discharge and the stone trap will automatically close first and the bucket will continue operation. CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE The Cross Line Relief Valve is fitted to the top of the hydraulic motor on your feeder bucket as additional protection for the motor and cutting die against damage from stones or other foreign bodies. TO SET THE CROSS LINE RELIEF VALVE The Valve is pre-set to 150 bar prior to delivery in the event that you do not make any adjustments yourself to give your motor protection against major blockages. We recommend that you re-set the Valve in accordance to your own requirements and feed type as follows; Before beginning, HALF fill your bucket with clean feed. That means NO stones or foreign bodies at all while setting up. The adjustments are made via an Allen (Hex Key) socket that is easily visible on the Valve. (Not the one underneath). Follow the steps below to set the sensitivity of your Cross Line Relief Valve; this can be set as keen as you like. 1. Start your loader and begin cutting the half bucket of feed. 2. Turn the Allen Key adjuster (whilst the bucket is cutting) anti clockwise until the auger stops. 3. Proceed to turn the adjuster clockwise again until the auger re-starts and you are happy with the cut. This is setting the sensitivity of the Valve. 4. Depending how sensitive this is set will depend if the valve allows small stones/ obstructions through or stops the flow of oil with any small/minor obstruction. 5. Re-adjust as required if you find it is too sensitive. It may be that the valve also requires adjustment for different types of feed. If you require any assistance with setting up the Cross Line Relief Valve, please do not hesitate to telephone and we will be pleased to assist you.
11 MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: See page 8 for maintenance after 1 st use. WEEKLY MAINTENANCE 1. Grease main bearing (Number 10) from the remote greasing point located on the right hand side of the bucket above the chain guard and marked with a grease sticker, BEARING FAILURE MAY OCCUR AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT IF THIS GREASING IS IGNORED. 2. Check auger drive and discharge end for wear. You are looking for play on the shaft in both the horizontal/vertical axis. There should be minimum movement. The main bearing (number 10) may be wearing if you notice more movement. If this is the case, increase the greasing routine and monitor. When play reaches significant movement the bearing requires replacement. 3. Grease chain as required. It should NOT be allowed to run dry. 4. Non drive end of the auger is fitted with a nylon bush which does not require greasing, but it would prolong the lifespan of the bush if given a squirt of freeing oil like WD40 or similar each week. 5. Straw sometimes evident in root feed can clog up the cutting die blades and cause excess pressure to be applied on the main bearing, motor and chain assemblies. It is requested that you keep the cutting dies/blades free of straw at all times to prevent this. SAFETY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CUTTING BLADES ARE SHARP. PLEASE ENSURE THE FORKLIFT/ LOADER IS SWITCHED OFF PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. GREASING Greasing the bucket is very important in your weekly maintenance, the next page states the technical details of the grease we recommend and recommend you should use, or its equivalent.
