5. Placement

This auger is designed to be transported and operated without unhitching unit
from tractor.

5.1. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor and secure in transport saddle.

2. Ensure that tractor and auger are securely hitched together.

Important:

Use a type of hitch pin (see Auger / Tractor Hookup section) that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.

3. Disconnect the safety chain from the intake hopper.

Important:

4. 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.

WARNING

Before continuing, ensure you have read and understand the relevant information

in the safety section. Safety information is provided to help prevent serious injury, death, or
property damage.

CAUTION

Always tow auger in the lowered position.

Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor for
transport and placement.

WARNING

Auger must be hooked up to tractor for all
operations, including transport, raising,
placement, and augering grain.

NOTICE

When positioning the auger, the PTO driveline must be
disconnected from the tractor and placed in the transport
saddle to prevent damage to auger and PTO driveline.
