of the pulley in opposite directions so the overall belt tension
does not change (if you tighten one side, loosen the other).
Tightening a pulley adjustment will cause the belt to move
towards the other side.
c. Turn Augers to “Auto” and walk up conveyor to visually inspect
operation.
d. Check hydraulic return filter gauge.
e. Operate Hitch “open and closed”. In time, from the operators
seat you can feel the “clunk clunk” of the hitch cylinder open

f. Operate the optional hitch “up and down”. You can see the hitch
in the full “up” position from the operators seat.
