1.8. Connecting a Tractor to the Machine
1.
When backing the tractor or towing vehicle up to the
Hitch on the machine, make sure no personnel are
between the tractor and equipment where they could
be crushed.
2.
Lock the tractor or towing vehicle in position before
allowing personnel to insert the draw pin. Use the
parking brake or chocks to prevent vehicle movement.
3.
Never allow persons to stand between the tractor and
the machine unless the tractor is secured against
rolling. Immobilize the tractor using the parking brake
and/or wheel chocks.
4.
Attach the machine according to the instructions in the
tractor
Owner/Operator
and
Spudnik
equipment
Owner/Operator manuals.
5.

withstand the draw weight and forces experienced
while operating the machine.
6.
Never exceed the permissible nose weight of the
machine coupling.
7.
Never exceed the permissible axle load and total
weight of the tractor. (See the tractor Owner/Operator
manual for the specifications.)
8.
Use proper safety practices when operating the
support foot/Jack. The support foot/Jack presents a
serious risk of injury through crushing and/or shearing.
1.9. Connecting Machine PTO
1.
Follow the operating instruction of the PTO shaft
manufacturer. An operator’s manual is supplied with
every PTO shaft installed on Spudnik equipment.
2.
Only
use
the
PTO
shafts
specified
by
the
manufacturer.
3.
The PTO shaft housing and guard cone, as well as
PTO shaft guard, must be fitted and in safe operational
condition.
1.9. Connecting Machine PTO (Cont.)
4.
For PTO shafts, make sure the tube overlaps by the
manufacturer specified amount, in both transport and
working positions.
5.
Only attach and remove the PTO shaft when it is
disengaged, with the engine switched off and the
ignition key removed.
6.
When using PTO shafts with overload or freewheel
couplings which are not covered by the guard on the
towing vehicle, fit the overload or freewheel coupling
on the machine side.
7.
When connecting the machine PTO driveline to the
PTO spline on the tractor, always make sure the PTO
is correctly mounted and locked securely to prevent
unintended separation.
8.
Attach the PTO shaft guard chain to prevent the shaft
guard from turning.
9.
Before engaging the PTO shaft, ensure the selected
speed and direction of rotation of the tractor’s PTO
shaft agree with the permissible speed and direction of
rotation of the machine.
10. Before engaging the PTO shaft, make sure that no
persons are within the danger areas of the machine.
1.11. Operating Safety Practices
1.
Unless specifically designed to carry the load while
moving, always empty machinery of product before
moving or transporting. This reduces weight, making
the machine easier to move, and lessening the chance
of damage to the equipment.
1.7. Risks of Ignoring Accident Prevention
1.
Endangerment of the operator and/or other nearby
persons as a result of safety shields/devices not being
fitted or in their correct protective position.
2.
Damage to important machine functions.
3.
Errors when carrying out maintenance or repair work.
4.
Endangerment of the operator and/or other nearby
persons through chemical exposure.
5.
Endangerment of the operator and/or other nearby
persons through exposure to high speed projectiles.
6.
Environmental pollution due to leaks in the hydraulic
system and gearboxes.
1.10. Connecting Machine Hydraulics
1.
The hydraulic system operates under high pressure.
2.
Depressurize the hydraulic system, on both the tractor
and machine, before making or breaking connections.
3.
Connect the hydraulic lines to the tractor as specified
in the Owner/Operator manual. Ensure the tractor can
provide the required flow rate and pressure to operate
the implement.
4.
Keep hydraulic lines clear of moving parts which could
damage the hoses.
Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. If such
an injury occurs, immediately call a doctor who is
familiar with treating this type of injection injury. The
risk of infection from such injuries is high.

machinery on uneven terrain, hillsides, or near ditches
to avoid the potential of overturning the equipment.
3.
Keep safety decals, signs, and reflectors clean and
legible at all times.
4.
Replace safety decals, reflectors and signs that are
missing or have become illegible.
5.
When replacing a part that displays a safety decal,
reflector, and/or sign, make sure that the new part also
displays those items.
6.
Safety decals, reflectors, or signs are available from
your dealer parts department.
7.
Do not allow personnel on the equipment during
operation, except in areas specifically designed for

8.
The design and function of intake and discharge
mechanisms, e.g. belted chains, tables, blowers, Vine
Chains, chutes, and conveyors, mean they cannot be
fully protected. Therefore, keep a safe distance from
such moving parts when in operation. This advice
applies to all other similar systems and auxiliary
equipment.
9.
Always keep clear of discharge areas of the
equipment, especially those with the risk of high speed
projectiles.
10. Before carrying out cleaning, maintenance, or repair
work, always switch off the engine/power, remove the
ignition key or otherwise lock out the power source,
and make certain the equipment has come to a
complete stop.
11. Unless troubleshooting requires exposure of shielded
components, only start up the machine when all safety
devices are attached and in the correct protective
position. The equipment should never be put into
operation if any safety devices have been opened or
removed. This includes shields, covers, flaps, and all
other engineered protective devices on the machine.
12. Dangerous components are located behind safety
covers. Moving parts do not necessarily come to a
standstill as soon as the drive is switched off. Keep
well clear of moving parts and keep protective shields
in place until all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill.
13. Never open safety devices such as covers, flaps, etc.
while the machine is in operation.

behind the towing vehicle.
8.
Never allow personnel to ride on the machine during
transport.
9.
Check the driving, steering, and braking response of
the tractor/towing vehicle and towed equipment before
entering public roads.
10. Maximum towing speed is 20 MPH (32 KPH).
11. The Slow Moving Vehicle sign (SMV), along with any
other lights and reflectors required by the local
highway and transport authorities, must be in place.
12. Lights and reflectors must be clean and visible to
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
13. Avoid excess speed to keep the towing vehicle and the
towed machine/equipment under control when going
down long and/or steep grades.
14. Before dismounting the tractor/towing vehicle, switch
off the engine, remove the ignition key, and secure the
towing vehicle and machine against rolling/unexpected

2.5. Machine Operation/Maintenance
The MODEL 4300 BULK BED, has been designed to carry
the product from the field to the storage area to unload the
product.
1. Check all bolts and hinge points to make sure they are
tight and in good condition.
2. Properly ground all Electrically Operated Equipment.
3. Make sure the bed is level.
4. DO NOT plug the Bed in with the power ON.
5. Be sure the switches on the main electrical panel or
panels on the BED are turned to “OFF”.
6. Check the voltage label on the main electrical panel to
make sure that it is the same voltage and phase as the rest
of the system.
7. Make sure all electrical panel doors are closed and there
is no one working on the equipment and every on is clear
of the system.
8. Make sure that all of the connectors and plugs on the
machine are attached, and are clear of water and other
materials.
9. Proper belt alignment and tension are key to long belt
life. Belts should be kept in alignment between conveyor
side, alignment should be an even distance between belt
and conveyor side on each side. (See belt alignment proce-
dure)
10. Replace damaged or missing drive shields and safety
labels at start of every season.
11. Remove dirt, deposits and inflammable material from
the machine on a daily basis.
12. Inspect the machine for damage once a week and re-
place defective parts immediately.
13. Take note of and comply with the information regarding
cleaning with high pressure cleaning equipment. (See
cleaning instructions)
14. For lubrication only use a good quality brand-name
grease, e.g. Shell Retinaz A EP2 multipurpose grease.
15. Remove dirt from lubrication nipples prior to applying
grease. Wipe away any excess grease escaping from bear-
ings.
16. Oil in gearboxes must be checked every hundred hours
of operation.
17. Oil should be changed when it becomes dirty and/or
contaminated.
18. All bearings are of sealed type and are lubricated by
manufacturer. Bearings will only need to be grease at the
start of season. Over greasing sealed bearings will result in
seal being broken and rapid failure of bearing. If seal is
broken, bearing should be greased daily until replaced.
One pump of grease at start of season is sufficient.
Pump Rotation Verification
The hydraulic pump on Bulk Beds with “Three
Phase” (3ph) motors are directionally dependent and the
pump rotation needs to be set correctly before the Bulk
Bed can be used. This includes all Bulk Beds with the
following voltages: 230v 3ph, 380v 3ph, 415v 3ph, 480v
3ph and 600v 3ph.
The pump and motor are shown below. The pump and
motor are positioned as shown on the left hand side of
the Bulk Bed near the cab end. The top and bottom
doors that enclose the pump and motor are not shown
for visibility purposes. But when the doors are opened it
will look as shown. The correct rotation direction is
“COUNTER CLOCKWISE” looking from the pump to
the electric motor.
Steps for Determining Correct Rotation Direction
1.Open doors on pump enclosure.
2. Remove “Orange Bell Housing Cover” from the “Bell
Housing”. With cover removed the coupling that con-
nects the electric motor shaft and the pump shaft to-
gether can be seen.
3. Connect the electric power to the “Power Supply Box”.
Turn the “Power Supply Switch” ON and then OFF
quickly.
4. Have a person looking into the “Bell Housing” to see if
the shaft is rotating in the correct direction. It should be
turning towards (“COUNTER CLOCKWISE” ) the per-
son looking into the “Bell Housing”. “Warning” Do not
put hand, hands or any other object into “Bell Housing”
to feel the rotation direction. It will be visible to the per-
son looking.
5. If the direction is correct then the Bulk Bed is ready for
use. Reinstall the “Orange Bell Housing Cover” and
shut the doors on the pump enclosure.
If the direction is incorrect. Then do the following:
Disconnect Power
Have licensed electrician properly phase the source
power supplyto the bulk bed

2.5. Machine Operation/Maintenance
Belt Replacement Procedure
1. Disconnect power, and/or disengage PTO power.
2. From discharge end of the Bulk Bed, thread belt forward
over the carry back rollers and around the front roller so
belt is on topside of the conveyor rollers. This can be ac-
complished by using a fifty-foot rope and a pair of modified
“Vice Grips” (a pair of 10 W R “VICE GRIPS” with a 2” x
1/4” ring welded to the adjustment bolt of the (vice grips.)
Tie a fifty-foot rope to vice grips using the 2” ring. Clamp
vice grips onto leading edge of belt, taking care not to dam-
age belt’s lacing. Thread the rope on the path you want the
belt to take. The rope should now be coming out the dis-
charge end on top of the rear drive roller. Put belt over first
carry back. Take all the slack out of rope. Now pull rope
down over rear drive roller, as you pull on rope have some-
one turn power on. Stand back about 4 or 5 feet from drive
roll as you do this.
3. You may have to turn power off occasionally to guide
belt through the Bulk Bed.
4. Never get inside the Bulk Bed and try to pull belt. Always
pull from back of the Bulk Bed with a rope.
5. Putting the belt into the Bulk Bed is always a two-man
job. NEVER ATTEMPT TO PULL BELT WITHOUT
SOMEONE READY TO SHUT OFF THE POWER
SWITCH.
NOTE: A short piece of belt laced on one end, with a
fifty-foot length of light chain works well for a belt puller.
Belt Tracking or Alignment Procedure
Belt tracking or alignment is an even distance
between belt edge and conveyor side on each
side. This is accomplished by doing the follow-
ing:
1. Remove drive cover plate. Loosen the lock down bolts
on the bent take-up brackets on the drive side.
2. Extend take-up out on side that belt is running too. Only
adjust the take-up out a couple of turns and wait for the
belt to make a few complete cycles in order to see if the
belt moves away from the side.
3. If the gaps between the belt edges and the conveyor
sides are close to the same then the adjustment is done.
If the belt still runs close to that side then continue ad-
justing the take-up out a couple of turns and wait for the
belt to move so it is centered between the conveyor
sides.
4. If the belt moves to the opposite side then back off the
adjustment and wait for the belt to center its self.
5. Based on how the belt is aligned at each end this adjust-
ment can be done at the “intake” or “discharge” ends of
the conveyor.
6. Once the belt is tracking then tighten the lock down bolts
on the bent take-up brackets.

Belt Tension
The rule for belt tension is as follows: The belt tension must
be great enough to prevent slippage between drive
pulley and belt. If there is slippage between the drive pul-
ley and belt adjust the take-ups, on both sides of the pulley,
equally until there is no more slippage.
Tracking and alignment of the belt may be required after
the belt is tensioned.

Side Door Latch Adjustment
The side door is opened and closed hydraulically. When
it is closed it is held shut by the hydraulic cylinder and by
the “Side Door Latch” on the intake and the discharge.
If the ”Side Door Latch” does not engage completely or
disengage completely then do the following:
1.Loosen the two bolts that fasten the ”Side Door Latch
Adjustment “ to the “Side Door Adjustment Linkage”.
2.Then adjust the “Side Door Latch Adjustment” up or
down based on the adjustment required. This adjust-
ment is made by advancing the nut up or down
along the threaded rod until the latch works properly.
3.After adjustment is made then refasten the two bolts
that hold it in place.
Side Door Safety Pin
The “Side Door Safety Pin” is provided to ensure that the
side door is held shut during transport. This is necessary
because the hydraulics are OFF and vibrations could
dislodge the “Side Door Latch”.
After closing the side door put the “Side Door Safety Pin”
into the hole shown on the adjacent page.
If the side door needs to be lowered ensure that the
“Side Door Safety Pin” is removed. Otherwise the side
door will not move down.

5.1. Fastener Torque Guidelines
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws regularly for tightness.
Replace nut/bolt pairs with the same grade or higher than
that of the original nut/bolt. The nut must be the same
grade or higher than the bolt it is paired with. Nuts, bolts,
and screws of a higher grade should be tightened with the
same torque as the original being replaced. Make sure the
threads of the fastener are clean and that they engage
properly to prevent damage to the fastener when tighten-
ing.

5.3. Hydraulic Fittings Guidelines (Cont.)
5.2. Shear Pin Guidelines
Shear pins are designed in such a way that they shear at a
predetermined load. When replacing shear pins, make sure
that only pins of the same grade are used.
5.3. Hydraulic Fittings Guidelines
5.3.1. Follow the tightening torques given in the table below
when tightening, replacing, or repairing any Hydraulic Fit-
tings. There are two methods to achieve proper ‘clamp
load’ on the flare connections used on Spudnik machinery.
1. Torque: Torque hydraulic fitting using a torque
wrench.
2. Flats Method: Torque hydraulic fitting by degree
of rotation or number of hex flats.
Hand Tighten the swivel nut to the mating
male flare adapter. “Hand Tight” is described
as the point where the swivel nut will no long-
er thread onto the mating connector when
moderate torque is applied with the hand or
fingers. When this is complete, wiggle the
swivel nut back and forth to ensure full en-
gagement has taken place. (See Figure 5)
Mark a line on one of the swivel nut hex flats
and extend the line onto the hex of the tube
adapter. (See Figure 6)
Using the proper wrench, turn the swivel nut
to tighten. (See Figure 7) The nut is to be
rotated clockwise the recommended degrees
of rotation or number of hex flats as stated in
the Hydraulic Fitting Torque Chart. (See Fig-
ure 8)

5.4. Belted Chain repair
5.4.1. Belted Chains
1.
Belted chains are vital to the safe and efficient
operation of the harvester. To prevent unsched-
uled downtime, Inspect and maintain the listed
belted chains as specified. See the parts manual
for the correct replacement parts.
2.
Perform a daily visual inspection on all belted
chains. Repair or replace as necessary.
Inspect the Web Joiners for wear. Due to the
metal on metal connection in the Web Join-
ers, they tend to wear more quickly than the
rest of the belted chain. It is not uncommon to
wear out multiple Web Joiners during the life
of a belted chain.
Inspect the webbing for cracks and tears.
Check for detached, broken, or missing rods.
Check for bent rods. Use the provided Belted
Chain Rod Straightener to straighten any bent
rods. (See Figure 9)
Check for loose or missing rivets. Drill out and
replace as necessary.
3.
Belted chain repair/connection procedure.
5.4. Belted Chain repair (Cont.)
The webbing for a Belted Chain has a pattern
of notches and cams. Each notch carries a
chain rod. The distance between the notches
defines the pitch of the chain. (See Figure 10)
The Web Joiner conforms to the same pattern
of notches and cams which is present on the
webbing. The Web Joiner is designed to fit
over one end of a Belted Chain web and to
Figure 9
Belted chains are heavy and present a crushing
hazard. Use caution when moving.
WARNING!
The repair process described here is general in nature
and may not reflect the exact hardware for your
specific harvester. For example, the use or absence of
bushings, the number of mounting holes, grooved
versus smooth connecting rods, all vary from
configuration to configuration.
While
the
components
may
vary,
the
general
procedure applies to all Spudnik belted chains.
NOTE
Ensure all necessary parts are on hand before
undertaking a belted chain repair.
Belted
chains
come
in
multiple
styles
and
configurations. This includes a variety of hardware for
connecting the ends of the webbing together.
Refer to the serial number specific parts manual for
the correct belted chain part number. Contact parts for
sub-assembly part numbers for repair components.
IMPORTANT
WARNING!
Before performing adjustments or maintenance work,
switch off the engine, remove the ignition key, and
secure the towing vehicle and machine.

attached to the other end of the Belted Chain
web. (See Figure 11)
Cut the webbing to be joined, at the edge of
the notch where the Web Joiner is to be at-
tached. Use a Web Joiner to identify the cut
point. (See Figure 12)
Trim the top and bottom edges of the web-
bing to create a bevel. The bevel reduces
interference when the webbing is inserted in
the Web Joiner. Slide the Web Joiner over
the end of the webbing and check the fit. The
end of the webbing must not intrude into the
hoop area where the Connecting Rod seats.
Trim the webbing if necessary. (See Figure
13)
With the Web Joiner positioned on the web-
bing, use the Web Joiner as a template to drill
the holes for the fastening rivets/bolts. (See
Figure 14)
Slide the Chain Rod into position in the Chain
Rod Slot of the Web Joiner. Insert rivets/bolts
into the securing holes in the Web Joiner,
Web, and Chain Rod. (See Figure 15)

Squeeze the Web Joiner together so it is tight
against the webbing. If rivets are used, flatten
the bucking end of the rivets so they securely
hold the Web Joiner and Chain Rod. If bolts
are used, install and tighten locking nuts so
they securely hold the Web Joiner and Chain
Rod. (See Figure 16)
Repeat the preceding steps for the other end
of the webbing to be joined.
If required, repeat the preceding steps for the
webbing on the other side of the belted chain.
With the Belted Chain correctly routed on the
machine, pull the ends of the belted chain,
along with all available slack, to the bottom of
the chain track. Pull the ends of the Belted
Chain together so the Web Joiners interlock
with the Connecting Rod Hoops aligned. (See
Figure 17)
Working from one side, insert the Connecting
Rod through the Connecting Rod Hoops on
the Web Joiner. Depending on the type of
Web Joiner, it may or may not require bush-
ings. As the Connecting Rod is pushed from
one side to the other, install Set Collar/Rod
Cover/ Set Collar, as required. If the Belted
Chain has a center web, it will require two
sets of Rod Covers and Set Collars. Insert the
Connecting Rod until it is flush on both sides
of the Belted Chain. (See Figure 18)
Depending on the Belted Chain and type of
Web Joiner used, the connection may be
friction lock or may require a Locking Plate. If
a locking plate is required, position the lock-
ing plate at least 2 inches (51mm) from the
Belt Joiner. This spacing is required to allow
