Purpose: The Patriot Seed Tender serves as a bulk transfer system for seed and other dry flowable products. It allows the user to move their product from point A to point B via the Patriot Seed Tender on a trailer. This process accelerates delivery and handling time. For example: a mini bulk bag weighing from 1,000 to 3,000 lbs., can be emptied into the Patriot Seed Tender in seconds, the equivalent when transferred in 50 lb. bags would take 20 minutes. The Patriot Seed Tender also allows you to draw seed directly from bins. The Patriot Seed Tender, full of seed, is transferred to the location where the drill/planter is located. The user parks beside the planter/drill and uses the telescopic movable spout to load the planter/drill. The tender uses a poly cupped auger powered by a gas motor with a clutch system to transfer the product. The auger is activated by a manual switch located at the end of the telescopic spout or remotely depending on the application. Features: 1. Hopper Designed for flow-ability in cone and proper angle of repose on top. All Patriot Seed Tenders are sized to compliment bulk bags or other measuring used in bulk handling. 2. Ground Controlled Lid This unique design protects the seed from moisture and is easily opened and closed from the ground 3. Transfer auger The poly cupped auger delivers 400 lbs. per minute and is very gentle on the product. 4. Ladders Allows the user to look into the hopper and access seed boxes or seed bags. 5. Site glass Allows you to monitor the product level within the tanks from eye level. 6. Telescopic spout The 3-tier model allows extension of nearly 17 ft. reach, with 15 ft. lateral reach. 7. Throttle/Clutch control The switch located at the end of the telescopic spout controls the variable speed actuator. It controls flow and stops and activates the flow without motor shutdown. The throttle can also be controlled remotely if desired. 8. Shut off gate The feature allows you to choose which hopper you want to empty and handle different varieties of seed on the same load.

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 9 Tire Safety Information This portion of the User's Manual contains tire safety information as required by 49 CFR 575.6. Section 2.1 contains "Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit - Trailer". Section 2.2 contains "Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit Tow Vehicle". Section 2.3 contains a Glossary of Tire Terminology, including "cold inflation pressure", "maximum inflation pressure", "recommended inflation pressure", and other non-technical terms. Section 2.4 contains information from the NHTSA brochure entitled "Tire Safety Everything Rides On It". This brochure, as well as the preceding subsections, describes the following items: Tire labeling, including a description and explanation of each marking on the tires, and information about the DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN). Recommended tire inflation pressure, including a description and explanation of: 1. Cold inflation pressure. 2. Vehicle Placard and location on the vehicle. 3. Adverse safety consequences of under inflation (including tire failure). 4. Measuring and adjusting air pressure for proper inflation. 5. Tire Care, including maintenance and safety practices. 6. Vehicle load limits, including a description and explanation of the following items: 7. Locating and understanding the load limit information, total load capacity, and cargo capacity. 8. Calculating total and cargo capacities with varying seating configurations including quantitative examples showing / illustrating how the vehicles cargo and luggage capacity decreases as combined number and size of occupants' increases. This item is also discussed in Section 3. 9. Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capabilities. 10. Adverse safety consequences of overloading on handling and stopping on tires. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit Trailer Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than understanding the load limits of the tires alone. On all trailers there is a Federal certification/VIN label that is located on the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit. This certification/VIN label will indicate the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This is the most weight the fully loaded trailer can weigh. It will also provide the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This is the most a particular axle can weigh. If there are multiple axles, the GAWR of each axle will be provided. If your trailer has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less, there is a vehicle placard located in the same location as the certification label described above. This placard provides tire and loading information. In addition, this placard will show a statement regarding maximum cargo capacity. Cargo can be added to the trailer, up to the maximum weight specified on the placard. The combined weight of the cargo is provided as a single number. In any case, remember: the total weight of a fully loaded trailer cannot exceed the stated GVWR. For trailers with living quarters installed, the weight of water and propane also need to be considered. The weight of fully filled propane containers is considered part of the weight of the trailer before it is loaded with cargo, and is not considered part of the disposable cargo load. Water however, is a disposable cargo weight and is treated as such. If there is a fresh water storage tank of 100 gallons, this tank when filled ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 10 would weigh about 800 pounds. If more cargo is being transported, water can be off-loaded to keep the total amount of cargo added to the vehicle within the limits of the GVWR so as not to overload the vehicle. Understanding this flexibility will allow you, the owner, to make choices that fit your travel needs. When loading your cargo, be sure it is distributed evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to side. Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle positions as reasonable. Too many items on one side may overload a tire. The best way to know the actual weight of the vehicle is to weigh it at a public scale. Talk to your dealer to discuss the weighing methods needed to capture the various weights related to the trailer. This would include the weight empty or unloaded, weights per axle, wheel, hitch or king-pin, and total weight. Excessive loads and/or under inflation cause tire overloading and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical. The proper air pressure may be found on the certification/VIN label and/or on the Tire Placard. This value should never exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure stamped on the tire. Trailers 10,000 Pounds GVWR or Less Tire and Loading Information Placard Figure 1-1 1. Locate the statement, "The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.," on your vehicle's placard. See figure 1-1. 2. This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. 3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity. The trailer's placard refers to the Tire Information Placard attached adjacent to or near the trailer's VIN (Certification) label at the left front of the trailer. Trailers over 10,000 Pounds GVWR (Note: These trailers are not required to have a tire information placard on the vehicle) Determine the empty weight of your trailer by weighing the trailer using a public scale or other means. This step does not have to be repeated. Locate the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer on your trailer's VIN (Certification) label. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 11 Subtract the empty weight of your trailer from the GVWR stated on the VIN label. That weight is the maximum available cargo capacity of the trailer and may not be safely exceeded. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit Tow Vehicle 1. Locate the statement, "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.," on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.). 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated in Step # 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the tow vehicle's manual to determine how this weight transfer reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of your vehicle. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 12 Glossary of Tire Terminology Accessory weight The combined weight (in excess of those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio and heater, to the extent that these items are available as factory-installed equipment (whether installed or not).

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 17 Tire Safety - Everything Rides On It The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a brochure (DOT HS 809 361) that discusses all aspects of Tire Safety, as required by CFR 575.6. This brochure is reproduced in part below. It can be obtained and downloaded from NHTSA, free of charge, from the following web site: http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/tires_index.html Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also: Improve vehicle handling Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents Improve fuel economy Increase the life of your tires. This booklet presents a comprehensive overview of tire safety, including information on the following topics: Basic tire maintenance Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Fundamental characteristics of tires Tire safety tips Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure. Safety FirstBasic Tire Maintenance Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Underinflated tires and overloaded vehicles are a major cause of tire failure. Therefore, as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires and other types of tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and regularly inspect your tires. Finding Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure and Load Limits Tire information placards and vehicle certification labels contain information on tires and load limits. These labels indicate the vehicle manufacturer's information including: 1. Recommended tire size 2. Recommended tire inflation pressure 3. Vehicle capacity weight (VCWthe maximum occupant and cargo weight a vehicle is designed to carry) ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 18 4. Front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWR the maximum weight the axle systems are designed to carry). Both placards and certification labels are permanently attached to the trailer near the left front. Understanding Tire Pressure and Load Limits Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load-carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air pressure measured in pounds per square inch (psi)a tire requires to be properly inflated. (You will also find this number on the vehicle information placard expressed in kilopascals (kpa), which is the metric measure used internationally.) Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle's design load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle's tire size. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the "recommended cold inflation pressure." (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.) Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufacturers list the "maximum permissible inflation pressure" on the tire sidewall. This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions. Checking Tire Pressure It is important to check your vehicle's tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons: 1. Most tires may naturally lose air over time. 2. Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object or if you strike the curb when parking. 3. With radial tires, it is usually not possible to determine under inflation by visual inspection. For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. Gauges can be purchased at tire dealerships, auto supply stores, and other retail outlets. The recommended tire inflation pressure that vehicle manufacturers provide reflects the proper psi when a tire is cold. The term cold does not relate to the outside temperature. Rather, a cold tire is one that has not been driven on for at least three hours. When you drive, your tires get warmer, causing the air pressure within them to increase. Therefore, to get an accurate tire pressure reading, you must measure tire pressure when the tires are cold or compensate for the extra pressure in warm tires. Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual. Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires. Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure. Step 4: If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing" pounds of pressure are what you will need to add. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 19 Step 5: At a service station, add the missing pounds of air pressure to each tire that is underinflated. Step 6: Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure (except in cases in which the front and rear tires are supposed to have different amounts of pressure). If you have been driving your vehicle and think that a tire is underinflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation pressure indicated on your vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. While your tire may still be slightly underinflated due to the extra pounds of pressure in the warm tire, it is safer to drive with air pressure that is slightly lower than the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure than to drive with a significantly underinflated tire. Since this is a temporary fix, don't forget to recheck and adjust the tire's pressure when you can obtain a cold reading. Tire Size To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the vehicle's original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer. Look at the tire information placard, the owner's manual, or the sidewall of the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer. Tire Tread The tire tread provides the gripping action and traction that prevent your vehicle from slipping or sliding, especially when the road is wet or icy. In general, tires are not safe and should be replaced when the tread is worn down to 1/16 of an inch. Tires have built-in tread wear indicators that let you know when it is time to replace your tires. These indicators are raised sections spaced intermittently in the bottom of the tread grooves. When they appear "even" with the outside of the tread, it is time to replace your tires. Another method for checking tread depth is to place a penny in the tread with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, you are ready for new tires. Tire Balance and Wheel Alignment To avoid vibration or shaking of the vehicle when a tire rotates, the tire must be properly balanced. This balance is achieved by positioning weights on the wheel to counterbalance heavy spots on the wheeland-tire assembly. A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels so that they are positioned correctly relative to the vehicle's frame. This adjustment maximizes the life of your tires. These adjustments require special equipment and should be performed by a qualified technician. Tire Repair The proper repair of a punctured tire requires a plug for the hole and a patch for the area inside the tire that surrounds the puncture hole. Punctures through the tread can be repaired if they are not too large, but punctures to the sidewall should not be repaired. Tires must be removed from the rim to be properly inspected before being plugged and patched. Tire Fundamentals Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a tire identification number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 20 Information on Passenger Vehicle Tires Please refer to the diagram below. P The "P" indicates the tire is for passenger vehicles. Next number This three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire. Next number This two-digit number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire's ratio of height to width. Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a short sidewall for improved steering response and better overall handling on dry pavement. R The "R" stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tires has been the industry standard for the past 20 years. Next number This two-digit number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter. Next number This two- or three-digit number is the tire's load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may find this information in your owner's manual. If not, contact a local tire dealer. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 21 M+S The "M+S" or "M/S" indicates that the tire has some mud and snow capability. Most radial tires have these markings; hence, they have some mud and snow capability. Speed Rating The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. The ratings range from 99 miles per hour (mph) to 186 mph. These ratings are listed below. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law. Letter Rating Q R S T U H V W Y Speed Rating 99 mph 106 mph 112 mph 118 mph 124 mph 130 mph 149 mph 168* mph 186* mph * For tires with a maximum speed capability over 149 mph, tire manufacturers sometimes use the letters ZR. For those with a maximum speed capability over 186 mph, tire manufacturers always use the letters ZR. U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number This begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information is used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall. Tire Ply Composition and Materials Used The number of plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others. Maximum Load Rating This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions. UTQGS Information Tread wear Number This number indicates the tire's wear rate. The higher the tread wear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 22 Traction Letter This letter indicates a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA","A", "B", and "C". Temperature Letter This letter indicates a tire's resistance to heat. The temperature grade is for a tire that is inflated properly and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under inflation or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure. From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C". Additional Information on Light Truck Tires Please refer to the following diagram. Tires for light trucks have other markings besides those found on the sidewalls of passenger tires. LT The "LT" indicates the tire is for light trucks or trailers. ST An "ST" is an indication the tire is for trailer use only. Max. Load Dual kg (lbs.) at kPa (psi) Cold This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a dual, that is, when four tires are put on each rear axle (a total of six or more tires on the vehicle). Max. Load Single kg (lbs.) at kPa (psi) Cold This information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a single. Load Range This information identifies the tire's load-carrying capabilities and its inflation limits. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 23 Tire Safety Tips Preventing Tire Damage 1. Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other object in the road. 2. Do not run over curbs or other foreign objects in the roadway, and try not to strike the curb when parking. Tire Safety Checklist 1. Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare. 2. Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or trauma. 3. Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in the tread. 4. Make sure your tire valves have valve caps. 5. Check tire pressure before going on a long trip. 6. Do not overload your vehicle. Check the Tire Information and Loading Placard or User's manual for the maximum recommended load for the vehicle. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 24 Wheel Attachment and Torque Requirements Patriot Equipment would like to reiterate the extreme importance of properly matching your axles, wheels, and tires when specifying or replacing your trailer wheels. It is of equal importance that you apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on your trailer axle. Please follow the wheel selection, torque requirement, and torque sequence guidelines that follow. Wheel Selection Wheels are a very important and critical component of your running gear system. When specifying or replacing your trailer wheels it is important that the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched. The following characteristics are extremely important and should be thoroughly checked when replacement wheels are considered. 1. Bolt Circle: Many bolt circle dimensions are available and some vary by so little that it might be possible to attach an improper wheel that does not match the axle hub. Be sure to match your wheel to the axle hub, bolts circle, hub pilot and wheel mount surface to hub face. Also, confirm that proper studs stick out. 2. Capacity: Make sure that the wheels have enough load carrying capacity and pressure rating to match the maximum load of the axle tire and trailer. 3. Offset: This refers to the relationship of the center line of the tire to the hub face of the axle. Care should be taken to match any replacement wheel with the same offset wheel as originally equipped. Failure to match offset can result in reducing the load carrying capacity of your axle. 4. Rim Contour. CAUTION Replacement tires must meet the same specifications as the originals. Mismatched tires and rims may come apart with explosive force and cause personal injury to yourself and others. Mismatched tires and rims can also blow out and cause you to lose control and have an accident which can result in serious injury or death. CAUTION Do not attempt to repair or modify a wheel. Even minor modifications can have a great effect. Do not install a tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the rim is cracked, the air pressure in the tube may cause the pieces of the rim to explode with great force and can cause serious injury or death. Torque Requirements You should always consult with the wheel manufacturer to determine the appropriate torque level for your wheels. It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on your trailer axle. Torque is a measure of the amount of tightening applied to a fastener (nut or bolt) and is expressed as length times force. For example, a force of 90 pounds applied at the end of a wrench one foot long will yield 90 Ft Lbs. of torque. Torque wrenches are the proper method to ensure torque is applied correctly to a fastener. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 25 CAUTION Wheel nuts or bolts must be tightened and maintained at the proper torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs, and possible dangerous separation of wheels from your axle, which can lead to an accident, personal injuries or death. Be sure to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of your wheel (usually 60 degrees or 90 degrees). The proper procedure for attaching your wheels is as follows: 1. Start all nuts/bolts by hand to prevent cross threading. 2. The tightening should be done in stages; a. Initially snug (10 ft-lb) the nuts/bolts to align and seat the wheel to the hub, in the order described in the torque sequence diagram below. b. Tighten the nuts/bolts performing the wheel torque sequence below. 3. Wheel nuts/bolts should be torqued before first road use and after each wheel removal. Check and re-torque after the first 10 miles, 25 miles and again at 50 miles. Check periodically thereafter, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 4. Wheel nuts are designed to have full thread engagement with the wheel stud. Wheel stud threads should be visible outside the wheel nut. There will be varying amounts of thread stick out depending on variables such as center disc thickness and nut thickness. In general, there should be approximately three threads visible past the end of the nut.

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 34 OPERATING PROCEDURES STARTUP AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES Caution It is essential to inspect your drive line before adding power and know how to shut it down in an emergency. During the operation of your auger, one person shall be in a position to monitor the operation. Any auger when it is new or after it sets idle for a season should go through a "break-in" period. The auger should be run at partial capacity until several bushels of grain have been augered to polish the flighting assembly and the tube. When the flighting and the tube are polished and smooth the auger can be run full. Never operate the auger empty for any length of time, as excessive wear will result. Caution During the initial startup and break-in period, the operator shall be aware of any unusual vibrations or noises that would indicate a need for service or repair. Keep all safety shields and devices in place. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts. The operator should have a full view of the work area and check that all personnel are clear of the designated work area before adding power. Caution SHUT OFF POWER AND LOCKOUT DRIVE TO ADJUST, SERVICE OR CLEAN! BULK SEED TENDER INSTALLATION Caution 1. Because the center of gravity is much higher with a loaded tender on a truck bed, additional care has to be taken in the way the truck is driven and parked. 2. If the tender is to be used in hilly country, do not unhitch a load or partial load as it could roll away and cause it to flip. 3. The unit should sit evenly and squarely on the bed of the truck or trailer. It may be necessary to also block the base to keep it from moving around. 4. When transporting, keep in mind the auger extends forward, be aware of objects too tall in the towing vehicle. Use caution when passing oncoming traffic or going near obstructions like wires or doors.

Activate auger by pushing the up arrow button on the key fob at the end of the spout. This in turn will cause the gas motor to increase in speed engaging the centrifugal clutch attached to the motor. When the desired RPM has been attained let go of the green button. 5. Before container is completely filled, return engine to idle by pressing the down arrow button on the key fob until the auger stops turning, as some product may be in spout. 6. Move to next target and repeat process. 7. When finished empty auger on last box, shut off engine and latch auger. 8. Put fuel lever in "off "position prior to transporting the unit. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 37 SHUTDOWN NORMAL SHUTDOWN When shutting down the auger to ready for transportation, make certain that the hopper and auger are empty before stopping the unit. Before folding the auger, the power source needs to be turned off. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN If something happens that would cause a need for an emergency shutdown, disengage the auger by slowing the motor to an idle by pressing the red switch at the end of the spout. If for some reason this does not work immediately turn the engine off. Investigate and determine the problem making sure not to put you or anyone in danger. Fix the problem and go through the startup and break-in procedure again. LOCKOUT The auger must be stopped and the power source turned off if the operator must leave the work area or whenever servicing or adjusting. Precaution should be made to prevent anyone from operating the auger when the operator is absent from the work area or inside the tender. Never operate the auger with the top auger not folded up or the cleanout door open. HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS 1. Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is low enough for an emergency stop to be safe and secure. Keep speed to a minimum. 2. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of overturning. 3. Avoid sudden uphill turns on steep slopes. 4. Always keep towing vehicle in gear to provide engine braking when going downhill. Do not coast. 5. Do not drink and drive. 6. Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads. 7. Use approved accessory lighting, flags, and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles on the highway during daylight and nighttime transport. 8. The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit there use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements. 9. When driving the equipment on the road or highway under 20 MPH at night or during the day. Use flashing amber warning lights and slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem. 10. Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic. 11. Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. 12. Be observant of bridge load ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than the gross weight at which you are operating. 13. Watch for obstructions overhead and to the side while transporting. 14. Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make allowances for increased length and weight of the equipment when making turns, stopping the unit, etc. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 38 TIRE SAFETY 1. Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may result in serious injury or death. 2. Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job 3. Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/ or mount tires. 4. Always order and install tires and wheels with appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the anticipated weight to be placed on the equipment. TRANSPORTING SEED TENDER DANGER: Do not transport Seed Tender at speeds in excess of 50 MPH and comply with your state and local regulations governing marking, towing and maximum width. Observe safe driving and operation practices. ALWAYS LOWER THE AUGER TO TRANSPORT DANGER: Be alert to overhead obstructions and electrical wires. Failure to do so may result in electrocution. Always lower the auger into the stowed position before moving. Maintain at least ten (10) feet of clearance. Refer to the dimensions chart showing the height of the auger in the up position. Check the chart to determine the height of you auger. Make certain everyone is clear of the work area before moving. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 39 OPERATING & ADJUSTMENT OF VARIABLE SPEED THROTTLE ACTUATOR The Throttle controller is simple to operate when you keep these few points in mind. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Always keep the battery fully charged. When storing the unit for an extended period of time such, as over winter, you should remove the battery and store it in a place where it can be trickle charged periodically to keep it on good condition. Note: the battery needs to be charged at the start of the season to ensure that you will not have problems when you are in the field. 2. Check operation of the actuator before starting the engine. To do this press the green and red buttons on the switch and watch the arm move left or right depending on which button is pressed. Make sure that the actuator arm is closest to the motor before starting engine. This will prevent the motor from being at full throttle and discharging product. 3. Make sure that there is no obstruction in the discharge tube. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Once the engine is started, let it warm up for a few minutes before operating the actuator. The engine should idle smoothly with the choke in the "off" position, once the engine has warmed up. 2. Press the green button on the switch. 3. The engine should increase in speed, and the auger should begin to operate. 4. To avoid premature wear of the auger, do not operate the unit empty unless cleaning out the auger. 5. To adjust the top speed of the engine, adjust the top end RPM screw that the throttle lever comes against when at full throttle. If the motor has a rough bouncy top end RPM screw has been adjusted too much. Turn the top end RPM screw clockwise to get rid of the surging. TROUBLE SHOOTING THROTTLE CONTROL 1. Engine does not come up to speed properly when you press the switch. a. Check the battery to see if it is fully charged. b. Check electrical connections. c. Check for any obstruction at the throttle lever. d. Check that the throttle spring is properly adjusted. e. If you are at a higher altitude you may have to adjust the carburetor (see engine manual). 2. Nothing happens when you press the switch. a. Check that the battery is fully charged. b. Check all wire connections and plugs. c. Check the switch. Warning 1. The auger should be frequently checked and serviced to operate freely. 2. Keep all guards and shields in place. Replace any that are damaged or lost. 3. The Patriot Seed Tenders are well made and we are proud of our line of equipment. We would like you, as our customer, to do your part in using caution and good judgment in using the equipment as well as any other machinery. 4. Any parts needing replacement should be replaced with parts of the same type and size. 5. Do not modify or alter any of the auger components. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 40 TROUBLE SHOOTING LOW CAPACITY 1. The auger may not be getting enough grain. a. Check to see the intake has not "bridged over" restricting the flow. b. Is the gate open to the auger? 2. The exposed flighting at the auger intake should be covered with seeds to achieve maximum capacity. a. Is the gate open far enough? Adjust if needed. b. Check the level of seed in the seed tender. 3. Check auger speed. A slow speed (below recommended speed) will result in low capacity. a. Is the engine running fast or slow? i. Adjust the engine speed as needed. 4. Did the auger connecting bolt break? See manual for part location and replace. AUGER PLUGS 1. The auger may be getting too much grain and be "jamming" inside the housing. a. Reduce the amount of grain being fed into the auger using the gate. 2. Is the auger free of any foreign material, such as sacks, tarp corners, etc? 3. A plug of the discharge end will cause an auger to plug. EXCESSIVE AUGER NOISE 1. Is the auger running full? 2. Damage could have occurred to the auger flighting, thus causing noise. Damage usually occurs because of foreign material having been run through the auger. It may be necessary to remove the flighting for inspection. MOTOR DOES NOT START 1. Check gas, old gas will lose octane power. 2. Is you fuel valve on the engine turned on? Check your manual for further advice. 3. The unit may have been moved while the gas was not shut off, resulting in gas leaking into the oil. An oil change should fix this. MOTOR VIBRATES ROUGHLY AT TOP SPEED 1. Motor may be running to fast. See Engine Manual for setting top speed. 2. PTO shaft is not properly aligned or attached. AUGER DOES NOT TURN 1. Check the throttle cable attachments for activate clutch. 2. Check for PTO slippage or condition. 3. Check to make sure bearings are not frozen. 4. Make sure auger is properly aligned. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 41 GENERAL TRAILER MAINTENANCE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 200 miles of operation when the brake shoes and drums have "seated," (2) at 3000 mile intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires. The brakes should be adjusted in the following manner. 1. Jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity jack stands. Follow the recommendations for lifting and supporting the unit. Check that the wheel and drum rotate freely. 2. Remove the adjusting access cover from the adjusting slot on the bottom of the brake backing plate. 3. With a flat blade screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the star wheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out pressure of the linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to turn. Note: With drop spindle axles, a modified adjusting tool with about an 80 degree angle should be used. 4. Then rotate the star wheel in the opposite direction until the wheel turns freely with a slight lining drag. 5. Replace the adjusting access cover and lower the wheel to the ground. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes. Caution Never get under the trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Follow the recommendations for lifting and supporting the unit. Do not lift or place supports on any part of the suspension system. BRAKE CLEANING AND INSPECTION Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at yearly intervals or more often as use and performance requires. Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored, thereby preventing adequate vehicle braking. Clean the backing plate, magnet arm, magnet and brake shoes. Make certain that all the parts removed are replaced in the same brake and drum assembly. Inspect the magnet arm for any loose or worn parts. Check shoe return springs, hold down springs, and adjust springs of stretch or deformation and replace if required. Caution ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD! Since some brake shoe friction materials contain asbestos, certain precautions need to be taken when servicing brakes: 1. Avoid creating or breathing dust. 2. Avoid machining, filing or grinding the brake linings. 3. Do not use compressed air or dry brushing for cleaning. (Dust can be removed with a damp brush). ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 42 Inspections Inspect front hitch for wear, replace if wear prevents for correct coupling if ball hitch or oblong hole for trailer hitch pin. Check the trailer frame for cracks and/or deformities and have them repaired. Inspect lights and repair/replace if broken or damaged. Check wheel bearings. Repair or replace if loose or damaged. Inspect the suspension system for the trailer. Replace damaged or broken springs or axles. See tire safety section for tire information. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 43 LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE For economical and efficient operation of your auger, maintain regular and correct lubrication. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, excessive wear and down time. Warning! 1. Keep all safety shields and devices in place. Never clean, adjust or lubricate a machine that is in operation. 2. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine in an enclosed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation. 3. Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand. 4. Honda engine refer to manual for information on maintenance products and schedules. 5. Gearbox refer to manual for information on maintenance products and schedules. 6. Cosmetic any exposed metal where paint or powder has been chipped, gouged, scratched or worn should be lightly sanded, then primed and painted with good enamel paint. If color is hard to match contact Minden Machine Shop, Inc. 7. To prevent stone chips on units being pulled by a truck, you should have a set of mud flaps large enough to remedy possible chipping. 8. Bearings should be examined annually for wear and tear. 9. Replace all shields and guards after servicing and before operation. 10. After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment have been removed. 11. Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any step or platform. 12. Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five bolts unless otherwise specified. Refer to bolt torque chart for head identification markings. 13. Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications.

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 69 Overview: The RE6 wireless control is designed to provide highly dependable, consistent wireless performance. Aside from battery replacement, the units are practically maintenance free and built with quality components for durability and reliability. 1 2 Receiver RE _6 4 Wireless Control System 4 This product complies with Part 15 of FCC rules FCc Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired 4 operation. MADE IN THE U.S.A www.Rowe-Electronics.com 4699300 3 1. Magnetic sensor learn area (side of box) 2. Power and status indicator light 3. Connector for wire harness 4. Mounting holes Safety: Ensure that the transmitter is not left unsupervised while the receiver is powered on. Caution: Tamping with or using the product in a fashion other than intended can result in product malfunctions leading to injuries or death. Misuse or evidence of tampering will void the warranty. Power Management/Restrictions: The RE6 may be used to directly control power to applications. The systems have a maximum current rating which needs to be observed. Individual outputs are rated at 2.5A each. The maximum, combined simultaneous output limit is RE6 7.5Amps. Exceeding the limit will result in damage to the unit. For applications requiring higher output amperages, the RF systems may be used in conjunction with relays. Rx/Tx Communication/Learning: When purchased, the communication between the transmitter(s) and the receiver unit will already be established. If communication is lost or additional transmitters are added, the learn procedure is completed by holding the bottom of the key fob transmitter on the "learn" area. The indicator light on the receiver will turn solid red indicating it is ready to pair with the transmitter. Once the light is red, press a button on the transmitter and watch for the receiver indicator light to flash green indicating a successful pairing. Power Supply: An adequate power supply is essential for proper performance. The receiver draws a small amount of current when it is in stand-by mode and can discharge the battery over time. Always disconnect the RF unit when charging the battery or performing any electrical work. The receivers have an internal thermal fuse that will, in most cases, shut the unit down if it encounters overvoltage situations, but there are some conditions that it cannot protect against. If the thermal fuse does activate, the unit will shut down. Once the unit cools, the RF system will reset and function normally. Should the unit shut down in such a manner, inspect the electrical system that is powering the RF unit. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 70 Mounting: Mount the unit with the electrical plug pointing down in an area that offers as much protection as possible and away from direct sources of high heat, moisture, vibration, and electromagnetic energy. Proper mounting and placement will ensure the best and long lasting performance. Wiring: The wire harness is specific to the wireless controller. It has a 7.5 amp fuse incorporated into the power lead going to the receiver. DO NOT REPLACE WITH A HIGHER AMPERAGE FUSE USE 7.5 AMP FUSE ONLY. The wire harness should be inspected regularly for any damage. Operation: Once the unit is powered up by turning on the toggle switch, you are ready to operate. On both the receiver and transmitter unit there is an L.E.D. indicator. On power up, the receiver unit will flash four times. This indicates that the unit is getting power, and that it is ready to operate. The RE6 unit has a line of sight range of 100' feet. Keep in mind that battery condition, receiver mounting location, and multiple obstructions can reduce the effective range. Battery Replacement: The battery (#CR2032) in the key fob remotes should be changed annually prior to each operational season. If the transmitter battery voltage has dropped below 2.85 volts, the battery should be replaced. If inconsistent performance or reduced range is observed, the remote battery should be changed. The battery can be changed by removing the small screw on the back of the unit and splitting the transmitter case. Once opened, slide the battery out of its holder, and replace. To prevent damage, do not use screwdrivers or other metal tools inside of the transmitter case. Upon reassembly, apply silicone around the keypad edge and make certain that it is properly seated in the sealing channel and the two case halves are mated correctly. This will prevent water ingress. Troubleshooting: The majority of trouble shooting issues can be traced back to a power supply (battery) deficiency. 1. replace the remote battery 2. check the main power source for 12.4V 3. check the power and ground wire connections 4. check the fuse in the power wire If you still are experiencing difficulties, a troubleshooting sheet can be found on our website: www.rowe-electronics.com Additionally, feel free to contact our customer support center at 515-981-5504. Rowe Electronics, Inc. 339 Hakes Drive Norwalk, IA, 50211 515-981-5504 ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 71 Rowe Electronics and Patriot Equipment Seed Tenders Pull Start Engines The Rowe controller will not start a pull start engine from the key fob due to the pull start engine having no electric start installed. Electric Start Engines The electric start engines that Patriot Equipment uses on the seed tenders will also have a pull start for a backup in the event the electric start will not operate. Due to the electric start, the Rowe key fob can be used to start the engine. To start the engine with the Rowe key fob, perform the following: 1. Rotate the key switch that is mounted to the engine to the "on" position. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 72 2. Turn the leg switch (located on the leg of the seed tender) to the "on" position. 3. Choke the engine as needed. 4. Depress the electric start on/start button on the key fob 5. The engine should begin to turn over and start 6. The key fob can be used to speed up and slow down the engine Scale Operation The Rowe system integrates with the scale to enable the user to dispense a predetermined amount of seed. To enable the automated dispensing, the toggle switch located next to the scale needs to be placed in the "auto" position. The "manual" position is for non-automated operation of the seed tender. Please refer to scale manual on the procedure to program the amount of weight of seed to dispense. Once programmed, the Rowe system will slow the engine down (stopping seed dispensing) when the predetermined amount of seed has been dispensed. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 73 Changing Battery in Remote Remove the small screw on the backside of the case and carefully pry open the two halves of the case. There are four parts that fit together; front side case, membrane, pcb, and backside case. Be careful not to pull out the "learn" magnet. "learn" magnet The front side of the case, membrane and pcb will likely stay together. Use a non-metal object to push the battery out as shown. Using a metal object will damage the board. Insert a new battery carefully with the positive face up. CR2032 Add small bead of silicone around the rubber membrane edge before assembling the two halves of the case ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 74 Gama Electronics The Gama Electronics wireless control is designed to provide quality wireless performance.

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 Minden Machine Shop Inc. 1302 K Road Minden, NE 800-264-6587 / 308-832-0220 85 To assemble the Wet Inoculator: Use sealant tape or paste when assembling parts. The parts are plastic, so be careful when tightening so parts don't break or crack. Refer to the diagrams for assembly to aid in assembly. 1. Locate the 3 gallon tank (5), 11/16" thread x 3/8" HB x 90 fitting (19), and 11/16" nut (18). Drill a 11/16" hole in the corner of the tank. Be sure to locate correct corner (refer to drawing) and drill the hole allowing enough room for the nut to be threaded on. Once the hole is drilled, remove the tank lid and clean out the tank. Next, place the HB fitting into the hole and use the nut to retain the fitting into the tank. The finished product should match the drawing. 2. Locate the 3 gallon tank (5), 3/4" to 1/2" reducer nipple (55), 1/2" valve (56), and the 1/2" MPT x 3/8" HB x 90 fitting. Thread the reducer nipple to the valve, and then the valve to the hose barb fitting. Now thread this assembly into the tank. The assembly will need to match the assembly that is shown. 3. Locate: electric pump (2), 1/2" to 1/4" reducing nipple (51), screen (49), 1/2" MPT x 3/8" hose barb (50), and the 1/4" MPT x 3/8" hose barb x 90 fitting (54). Determine the flow of the pump (should be a flow arrow on the pump)and place the filter on the inlet side of the pump. Thread the parts together as shown. Make sure your assembly matches what is shown. 4. Locate the pressure reducing valve (14), 1/2" FPT tee (20), 1/2" MPT x 3/8" HB fitting (16), 2 each of 1/2" MPT x 3/8" HB x 90 fitting (17), 45 degree 1/4" Street Elbow (22), and 0-60 psi gauge (21). Assemble as shown in the diagram. Set aside. 5. Locate the Base Bracket (6) and the tank assembly from step 2. Mount the tank assembly to the base bracket using 4 ea of 5/16" x 1" bolts (48), 5/16" flat washers (35) and 5/16" lock washers. Tighten the bolts carefully. 6. Locate the pump assembly from step 3. Mount the pump to the base bracket using 4 of the No. 10 pan head screws with washers and nuts (29, 30, and 31). Please note how the pump is mounted on the diagram. The inlet side of the pump will point towards the supply tank. Please note that the inlet side of the pump should also have the filter attached to it. Tighten all fasteners. 7. Locate the pressure relief valve assembly from step 4. Use the 5/16" U-bolt (26), 5/16" nuts (47), and 5/16" washer (35) to mount to the base bracket. Use the diagram to locate where to mount. Be careful when tightening the u-bolt due to the pressure relief valve being made of plastic. 8. Locate the 3/8" hose. Make the supply hose from the valve to the strainer (58). Use two 3/8" hose clamps (62) to keep the hose in place. Tighten the hose clamps. 9. With the 3/8" hose make the hose (59)to connect the outlet side of the pump to the inlet side of the pressure relief valve (bottom). Use two 3/8" hose clamps (62) to keep the hose in place. Tighten the hose clamps. ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 Minden Machine Shop Inc. 1302 K Road Minden, NE 800-264-6587 / 308-832-0220 86 10. Using the 3/8" hose, make the hose to connect the return line (60) from the pressure relief valve to the corner of the tank with the hose barb fitting. Use two 3/8" hose clamps (62) to keep the hose in place. Tighten the hose clamps. 11. Once the wet inoculator system is mounted to the seed tender using the 4 - 3/8" x 1" bolts (43), flat washers (46), lock washers and nuts (43, 44, 45, 46), make the hose (61) to connect the outlet of the pressure relief valve to the auger inlet system. Use two 3/8" hose clamps (62) to keep the hose in place. Tighten the hose clamps. 12. With the plumbing and mounting completed, next are the electrical connections. Refer to the electrical diagram for assistance. Depending upon the style of seed tender that you have, the mounting positions of the wet inoculation system will be in different locations (usually on the driver's side rear corner of the seed tender), however the wiring is essentially the same. 1. Begin at the pump that has a positive (+) red wire and a negative (-) black wire. 2. Attach the black wire of the pump to one side of the on/off switch of the wet inoculator. 3. Attach one wire of the fuse link to the other side of the on/off switch of the wet inoculator. 4. Locate the two strand wire loom. Remove the outer sheath to expose the two wires. Connect the white wire to the red wire of the pump. 5. Connect the black wire of the two strand wire to the other wire of the fuse link. 6. Route the two strand wire through the wire ties on the inside of the tender. Route the wire to the paddle switch and then end at the battery. 7. Where the two strand wire loops at the paddle switch, cut the outer sheath and remove. There should be two wires (one white and one black) that run from the paddle switch to the battery. 8. At the paddle switch, cut the black wire (leave enough room to strip the wire) attach the black wire end from the two strand wire to one side of the paddle switch. With the remaining black wire that was cut, attach this to the other side of the paddle switch and route the battery. Attach the black wire to the negative post of the battery with a 5/16" eyelet connector. 9. Locate the white wire from the two strand wire and connect this wire to the positive post of the battery using a 3/8" eyelet connector. 10. This will complete the wiring of the wet inoculator. 13. Start the engine, turn the wet inoculator switch to on and test the system. The pump should start when the engine rpm is increased. 14.

ST-100 Two Box Seed Tender V22.0 88 Dry Inoculator Instructions FreeFlo Dry Inoculator (By Lundell Plastics Corporation) Manual For Use on dry inoculants, talc, graphite and blends of these materials. Not for use with unblended peat based inoculants. Specifications: Voltage: 12VDC Current Draw: 3A Hopper Capacity: 35lb Output: 5-30 lb/hr or 20-80 lb/hr Mounting The tank should be mounted in a location that will allow the auger discharge to be just above the auger or conveyor near the center of the seed flow. Mount the tank so it is as vertical as possible. Mounting at an angle will decrease the clean out capabilities. Once the tank is mounted, remove the plug from the bottom of the tee. Slide the auger over the shaft and tighten the set screw ensuring the set screw is seated on the flat portion of the shaft. Once the auger is installed, slide the PVC auger tube over the auger flighting. Fasten the discharge end of the auger tube to the tender frame. Wiring Supply 12V power to the red wire and ground the black wire. Be sure not to reverse the polarity as this will damage the unit. The 12V power can come from an intermittent source such as a solenoid valve to allow the unit to only run while the auger or conveyor is operating. Operational Instructions Calculate the approximate required application rate in lbs./hr. Once the desired application rate is known, set the dry inoculator to the approximate corresponding setting. Example: On a 20-80 lb/hr unit, setting 3 will apply approximately 40lb/hr or product. Once the unit is operating, visually inspect the seed for adequate application. Over application can be detected by excess product blowing off the seed as it is added to the planter just as lack of any dust can be a sign of under application. Once in use, the unit can be fine tuned based off of actual results.
