Meridian HARVEST T1062, Operator'S Manual

Page: 9 / 39

DANGER:
If ground is very uneven, auger can tip and cause damage to the
equipment and personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never position raisers of any kind under the wheels of the auger to
increase height. This includes pieces of wood, cement blocks,
bricks, etc. Attempting this could result in damage to the
equipment and personal injury or death.
Make sure that the hitch is secured to the tractor, and that all hydraulic
connections are tight and in good working condition. If there are any
leaks or damaged hoses, you must replace these before using your auger.
Replacement hoses and hose ends must have a minimum strength of
1900psi working pressure.
Make sure that the wheels of your auger are free to move before you raise
or lower your auger.
CAUTION:
If the auger wheels are buried in any type of material, do not
attempt to raise or lower the auger. Remove dirt, snow, grain, or
whatever other material is obstructing the auger before use.
Check that the valve on the hose to the lift cylinder is open. Double check
that the area above and around the auger is clear of obstructions. Raise
auger to desired height, and
close hose valve after auger is positioned.
WARNING:
If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic pressure within the
tractor system will allow the auger to lower by itself; this could
cause damage to the auger and personal injury or death.
NOTICE:
Do not use the auger as a hoist or crane, no matter the size or
weight of the object being lifted. This will create an unsafe
condition and void your warranty.
