• Before moving auger, check for overhead obstructions and/or electrical wires.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens,
do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will dis-
engage the brake mechanism and will create an unsafe condition. Too much
slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound
stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully, and repair winch.
• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.
2.7. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Shut down and lock out all power before attempting maintenance of any kind.
If applicable
, disconnect PTO driveline from tractor or hydraulic hoses on
units with hydraulic drive hoppers.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Support auger tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage
assembly. Auger should be in full down position for maintenance.
• Use only genuine Westfield replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement
parts such as intake guards, pulley guards, PTO driveline shields, winches,
and lift cables must meet ASABE standards or serious injury may result. Use
of unauthorized parts will void warranty. If in doubt, contact Westfield or your
Westfield dealer.
• Do not modify any auger components without authorization from Westfield.
Modification can be dangerous and result in serious injuries.
