4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor and secure in transport saddle.
2. Position and secure towing hitch.
Important:
Use a type of hitch pin (see Auger / Tractor Hookup section) that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.
Important:
3. Because of the many different kinds of tractor hydraulic systems, the quick-
connect coupler must be supplied by the owner. Please consult your tractor
manual or dealer for the proper coupler.
• Before connecting hose, ensure that the quick-connect coupler on auger
and tractor is clean and free of dirt by wiping with a cloth.
4. Connect hydraulic hoses, ensure connections are tight. Check for leaks,
binding, flattening, kinks, or wear.
5. If the auger must be raised for positioning:
a. Check that valve on hose to lift cylinder is open.
b. Raise auger to the desired height.
c. Close hose valve (after auger is positioned).
The
MK130 Plus 81’
auger features a new hydraulic lift system that only needs a
small amount of hydraulic oil to raise the auger. This is done by pumping oil into
and out of the upper chamber of the cylinder as the auger is raised and lowered.
For this system to work,
the tractor must be running
and the down lever must
be fully engaged as auger is lowered.
WARNING
Auger must be hooked up to tractor for all
operations, including transport, raising,
placement, and augering grain.
NOTICE
When positioning the MK auger, the PTO driveline must be
disconnected from the tractor and placed in the transport
saddle to prevent damage to auger and PTO driveline.
CAUTION
Dirt in the hydraulic system can damage the cylinder o-
rings, causing leakage and the possible failure of the
system and personal injury.
