3. Assembly
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.
3.1. Assembly Safety
• Do not take chances with safety. The components can be large, heavy, and hard to handle. Always use the
proper tools, rated lifting equipment, and lifting points for the job.
• Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.
• Always have two or more people assembling the self-propelled auger kit.
• Make sure you have sufficient lighting for the work area.
• Tighten all fasteners according to their specifications. Do not replace or substitute bolts, nuts, or other
hardware that is of lesser quality than the hardware supplied by the manufacturer.
• Stay away from overhead power lines and other obstructions during assembly. Contact with power lines can
cause electrocution.
Ensure auger is in fully lowered position with intake end on the ground before proceeding with
the assembly of the wheel move.
3.2. Check Shipment
Unload the self-propelled auger kit parts at the assembly site and compare the packing slip to the shipment.
Ensure that all items have arrived and that none are damaged. Take pictures of shipments prior to or just after
unloading if there are any damaged parts.
Report missing or damaged parts immediately to ensure that proper credit is received from AGI or your
representative, and to ensure that any missing parts can be shipped quickly to avoid holding up the assembly
process.
Important
Do not assemble or install damaged components.
3.3. Before You Begin
Before you assemble the self-propelled auger kit:
• Familiarize yourself with all the sub-assemblies, components, and hardware that make up the equipment.
• Have all parts and components on hand, and arrange them for easy access.
• Separate the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) and lay them out into groups for easier identification during
assembly.
• If assembling inside, confirm the ceiling and door width/height provide enough clearance when installing the
undercarriage and to remove the self-propelled auger kit from the building.
• Ensure there is adequate space to remove the assembled self-propelled auger kit from the assembly area.
