Safety The Trout River Trailer is not “just a trailer”, it is also a powerful machine with various mechanisms that could be potentially dangerous, the following are some general safety rules pertaining to trout river trailers: • • • • • •

• •

Never enter trailer with conveyor in operation When conveyor is running be sure to keep all body parts, clothing, etc. clear of inspection doors, conveyor belt, or any other moving parts; failure to do so could result in serious injury Be aware of the tailgate position, and stand clear when opening or closing When trailer is unloading be sure to stand clear of the rear of the trailer, as to not get injured from load exiting the tub Ladder is designed for a maximum of 250 pounds; do not exceed this limit. Top ladder rung is not meant to be a step, it is only there as a “hand-hold”; do not use as a step Trailer hydraulic system is designed to run in access of 2500 psi, this amount of pressure could be very dangerous; always take care when connecting hydraulic lines, that it is done properly, and replace any damaged hydraulic components immediately. Always be sure system pressure is relieved before maintenance o Always connect return line first and disconnect last Air system can also be dangerous, be aware of air lines, that they are not damaged, and relieve system pressure before maintenance When working on the trailer, be sure all power systems are disconnected, unless otherwise instructed or needed, always be aware of present dangers

Front of trailer

1. Oiler on/off

2. Oiler control

3. Front access hatch

4. Auxiliary plug

5. Light plug

10. Hydraulic return line

9. Hydraulic supply line

8. Air ride pressure guage

7. Blue gladhand

6. Red gladhand

Page |4 Part 1. Oiler on/off

Description This switch allows the flow of oil from the return side of the hydraulic system, to the on-board oiler system. It is important to watch the levels in the hydraulic oil reservoir, as the oiler system does draw oil directly from the hydraulic system.

Note: chain should be oiled daily

2. Oiler control

Use knob to adjust flow of oil to each brush when oiler is turned on, each knob is held in place with a locknut.

3. Front access hatch

A convenient entry point on the front of the trailer, door held shut with 2 spring latches.

4. Auxiliary plug

7 wire auxiliary plug provides power to any accessories added to the trailer.

Page |5 5. Light plug

7 wire plug provides power to all of the trailers lights. (clearance lights, turn signals, brake lights, abs light, etc.)

6. Red gladhand

The air line that supplies the trailer reservoirs with air at full tractor reservoir pressure is called the supply line. It’s sometimes called the emergency line.

7. Blue gladhand

The line that carries the control signal from the tractor is called the control line. It's also commonly called the service line.

8. Air ride pressure guage

This gauge monitors the air pressure in the trailers air ride system.

Page |6 9. Hydraulic supply connection

Be sure this connection is threaded on properly and fully; improper coupling of this line will result in a trailer that wont unload and can result in hydraulic system damage.

10. Hydraulic return connection

The return should be connected first to avoid hydraulic system damage. Be sure this connection is threaded on properly and fully; improper coupling of this line will result in a trailer that wont unload and can result in hydraulic system damage.

8. Hydraulic system pressure gauge

P a g e | 10 Part 1. Crossbar indicators

Description This is a reminder of the crossbar(s) that run across the top of the trailer, from the left toprail to right toprail.

2. Hydraulic supply line

The upper of the 2 lines that run end to end

3. Hydraulic return line

The lower of the 2 lines that run end to end

P a g e | 11 5. Inspection door

The trailer has two 19� inspection doors, one per side. The doors can be used to inspect the inside of the conveyer, as well as to oil, and wash components of the conveyor.

6. Air control box

Controls all of the trailers air powered functions

7. Hydraulic valve bank

Controls the trailers hydraulic functions; belt forward/reverse, tailgate, etc.

8. Hydraulic system pressure gauge

Gauge shows the pressure of the hydraulic system. This system should not exceed 2800psi or damage may occur.
