1. Identify the tube section where the hydraulic lift cylinders install, and rotate
the section so that the cylinder mount brackets are facing up.
2. Slide the cylinder rod guide (27562) onto the end of the track closest to where
the lift cylinders install. Ensure that triangular gussets of ram guide are facing
the discharge end.

7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts. Tighten securely .
Note: The hydraulic lift cylinders must be positioned with the rod end towards the
discharge end of auger.

cylinder on the welded bracket, and secure it with four 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and
locknuts.

pass through the two holes provided on the cylinder rod guide, and then
insert a 5/16” x 2” roll pin (18079) into the hole on the end of each cylinder rod
to prevent separation of rods and cylinder arm guide.
