Storing Auger
Make sure auger operations are shut down (step 6
through step 8 above) before storing auger.
Orient Inlet and Outlet
Refer to Figure 59
Only one inlet and outlet orientation is correct for storage.
Although the auger can fully seat in the cradles in several
orientations, there is risk of outlet damage during tilt/fold,
and inlet debris collection during transport and
precipitation if not stored correctly.
1. Orient auger arm pivot.
If the arm is folded with the mid-arm pivot forward,
pull the auger away from the drill and fold the mid-
arm pivot back.
2. Rotate auger inlet-rear/outlet-forward.
Rotate in the direction that results in the most slack
in the hoses.
3. Lock parallel arms at level.
Press on the parallel arm lock pin lever . Raise or
lower the auger until the arms are level with the
mainframe. Release the pin.
4. Swivel auger tube to outlet-facing-right.
Pull pin forward and rotate auger tube so that
valves are on top. Outlet tube must face right
(horizontally away from drill) to provide maximum
clearance during fold and tilt.
5. Swivel inlet hopper to horizontal.
Pull pin at inlet. Rotate hopper to horizontal, inlet
facing to drill left.
6. Remove rear arm pin from clevis on frame.
7. Seat auger tube in cradles. Secure arm with pin .
Refer to Figure 60
8. Close clamping straps , at cradles.
9. Secure latches. Make sure latch locks engage,
leaving a gap between lock lever and latch handle.
