SET -UP & ASSEMBLY

BU960 Forage Boxes can be obtained in three forms: "preassembled", "piggybacked" or "knocked-down". In "knocked-down" (KD) form, components and subassemblies of the Forage Box are shipped in separate packages to be uncrated and assembled by the dealer. Most of the steps, outlined in this Set-up & Assembly chapter, will have to be used to make the Box assembly and attach the assembly onto a Running Gear.

In "piggybacked" (PB) form several Forage Boxes are shipped from the Box Builder in varying stages ofpreassembly. In completing the assembly of these PB Boxes, depending on their particular state of preassembly, many of the steps in this chapter can be passed-over.

In "preassembled" form, most of the steps outlined in this Set-up & Assembly chapter have already been performed by the Box Builder. Only the last few steps, as indicated, will have to be used to complete the Box assembly and attach the assembly onto a Running Gear.

Procedures established in this set-up instruction are given in a step-by-step manner, with various parts of the process listed in such a way so as to, wherever possible, do the sequence without having to remove parts in order to make other component attachments. To simplify and speed-up the assembly process, it is recommended that at least two men work together to perform these procedures. Installation procedures for commonly requested options, such as a Third Beater and/ or a Metal Roof, are provided in sequence with the other steps. If the unit being set-up does NOT have either option, disregard the step and proceed to the next, as noted. It should be understood that, if a Third Beater or Roof is being installed in the future (anytime after initial setup), some assembled components will have to be removed and replaced.

Forage Box set-up and assembly should be performed inside an enclosed workshop which is equipped with the proper tools and an overhead hoist.

NOTE: The following abbreviations are used in these procedures:

- Carriage Bolt

- Hexagon Head Cap Screw

- Slotted Truss Head Machine Screw

- Hexagon Lock Nut

- Hexagon Nut

- Nylon-insert Lock Nut

- Lock Washer

- Plain Washer

- Large (diameter) Plain Washer

Unless otherwise noted, the standard fastening procedure is to secure two parts with a HHCS, LW and HN. A part with a mounting slot should be secured with a PW against the slotted surface. HLN's are used to prevent two parts from separating but still to allow one part to move or rotate next to the other. When fastening wooden members, BE SURE to use a L-PW against the wooden member or members. Short-necked Carriage Bolts are installed through appropriate punched holes in Steel-sided Box Panels. Roof panels and related components are interconnected and attached with Large Flange Whiz HN (Hexagon Nuts).

NOTE: Some differences may exist, due to load size or Box Builder preferences, regarding the degree of preassembly and partial preassembly. In some cases also, the Box Builders may deliver and setup the units themselves. Partially preassembled Boxes may even have portions of a subassembly, such as the Box Side Front Stakes, Installed to gain additional stability for shipment. As necessary, determine which step of these Set-up & Assembly procedures Is Involved and follow appropriate directions to finish the step.

Step 1: Main Sill Extensions, Straps & Spacers

Attachment (Figs. 14•1 a & 1 b)

Main Sill Extensions, Straps and Spacers installation involves attaching the components to the Main Sill before they are attached to the Platform. Main Sills for 14 and 16-ft Boxes are composed of two each 2 x IO's and MainSills for 18-ft Boxes are composed of three each 2 x lO's. Component installation involves combining common Right Side and Left Side Extensions with appropriate length Straps, Spacers and mounting hardware. Proceed as follows:

Right Corner Shield {Installed after Unloading Unit Is Mounted)

3/8 X 1·1/2 CB

Apron Shield

Step 3: Apron Shield Mounting (Figs. 14-3a & 3b)

NOTE: This procedure only applies to KD Box assembly.

A. Position the Shield on the front end of the Platform floor. Align the Shield holes with the holes in the Platform floor.

B. Intall the (8) 3/8 x 1-1/2 CB from the top down and secure each bolt with a PW and HLN.

NOTE: Leave the end holes open at this time as these will be used later to secure the Front Side Bearing Brackets.

Step 4: Box Side Attachment (Figs. 14-4a, 4b & 4c)

NOTE: This procedure applies to all KD Box assemblies and some PB Box assemblies.

Forage Box Sides can be obtained in either 4-ft or 6-ft heights and in three different lengths. The Box Sides are constructed either of wooden Stakes with nailed interlocking wood boards, steel Stakes with bolted interlocking wood boards, or steel Stakes with bolted overlapping steel Panels. The method 'of attachment and required attaching hardware differs accordingly.

The procedures for attaching either 4-ft or 6-ft Sides with wood Stakes is the same and as follows:

A. Properly orient and position one of the Side assemblies on the edge of Platform with the lower Side Board resting on top of the edge of the Platform Floorboard and the Stakes extending over the edge of the Platform.

B. Align the mounting holes in the Stakes with the mounting holes in the top and bottom Cross Sills. If the Side does NOT fit flush on the edge of the Floorboard or if the Stake holes do NOT exactly line-up, install temporary clamps to hold the Stakes against the Cross Sills in order to hold the pieces m alignment.

C.

From the 2nd Stake on back, secure each Stake (excluding the Rear Stake) with a 3/8 x 5 HHCS, (2) L-PW and a HLN to the top 3 x 3 Cross Sill. Similarly, secure the Stakes to the bottom 2 x 6 Cross Sill with 3/8 x 3-3 I 4 HHCS, (2) L-PW and a HLN.

E.

Secure the Rear Stake to the bottom 4 x 6 Cross Sill with a 3/8 x 5 HHCS, (2) L-PW and a HLN.

Repeat steps A thru D for the other Box Side.

Steel Stakes are only available on Boxes with 6 x 16 and 6 x 18-ft Sides. The method of Stake attachment depends on the orientation ofthe Stake. As illustrated, a Wood Spacer MUST be used whenever the open face of the Stake is in contact with the Cross Sill or other support part. All bolts that attach the Steel Stake to the Cross Sills (excluding the Front and the Rear Stakes) should have a PW under the bolt head and should be inserted through the Steel Stake first. The proedure for attaching Box Sides with Steel Stakes is as follows:

F. A 16-ft Box Side has a Wood Spacer installed in the front two Stakes. An 18-ft Box Side requires a Wood Spacer in the front three Stakes. Both Sizes require a Spacer in the Rear Stake location. Properly orient the Wood spacer as shown and drive it into the Stake until the holes in the Stake line up with the Spacer holes.

G. Install a Snap Bushing into the bottom 1/2" (13 mm) diameter hole in the Rear Stake.

H. Depending on whether the Box Sides are wood or steel, refer to the illustrations provided to establish the correct position for mounting the Box Side,

I. For Side with wood boards, position the Box Side on the edge of the Platform with the lower side board resting on top of the edge of the Platform Floorboard as shown.

2. For a Side with steel panels, position the Box Side next to the edge of the Platform so the side of the bottom panel is against the outside edge of the Platform Floorboard as shown.

J. Align the mounting holes in the Stakes with the mounting holes in the top and bottom Cross Sills. If the Side does NOT fit flush or if the Stake holes do NOT exactly line-up, install temporary clamps to hold the Stakes against the Cross Sills to hold the pieces in alignment.

K. From the 2nd Stake on back, secure each Stake (excluding the Rear Stake) to the top 3 x 3 Cross Sill with, as required, either a 3/8 x 5 HHCS, PW, L-PW and HLN (where a Wood Spacer is used) or, with a 3/8 x 3-1/4 HHCS, PW, L-PW and HLN (where NO Wood Spacer is used). The Stake attachment to the bottom 2 x 6 Cross Sill should be made, as required, either 3/8 x 3-3/4 HHCS, PW, L-PW and HLN (where a Wood Spacer is used) or, with a 3/8 x 2-1/4 HHCS, PW, L-PW and HLN (where NO Spacer is used).
