Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.

5.1. Placement Safety

• The auger is not insulated, keep away from overhead power lines. Electrocution can occur

without direct contact.

• Anchor intake end before using.

• Place the auger on reasonably level ground before operating. The auger could topple if

ground is too uneven.

• Chock the auger wheels after placement.

• Empty the auger before raising, lowering, or positioning.

• Check that wheels are free to move before raising or lowering the auger.

• Never attempt to increase height of the auger by positioning wheels on lumber, blocks, or by

any other means.

• Do not permit anyone to stand beneath the auger when raising or lowering.

• Move the auger into position slowly. Do not unhitch and attempt to move by hand.

• Do not leave tube in raised position when not in use.

5.2. Positioning the Auger

To position the auger using a tractor:

Filling Bins

1. Back the auger up to the bin while it is in its lowered configuration.

2. Set the park brake on the tractor before dismounting.

3. Raise the auger so it clears the bin.

4. Slowly back the auger up until the outlet is over the opening in the bin.

5. Unhook the auger from the tractor and lower the intake end to the ground.

Upending hazard, do not hook or unhook hitch unless the auger has a downward weight.

6. Slowly lower the auger spout to the bin.

Do not rest the spout on the bin. This may cause damage to the auger or bin.

7. Place chocks in the front and back of each wheel and anchor the intake end.
