Transport Safety
• Review Transport Safety instructions in tractor manual before moving.
• Check with local authorities regarding transport on public roads. Obey all applicable laws
and regulations.
• Do not tow equipment that does not have brakes at speeds over 20 mph (32km/h).
• Do not tow equipment that does not have brakes that, when fully loaded, has a mass
(weight) over 3300 lb (1.5 t) and more than 1.5 times the mass (weight) of the towing unit.
• Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and all the lights and reflectors that are
required by the local highway and transport authorities are in place, are clean, and can be
seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
• Never have the equipment in operation during transport.
• Always transport the Conventional Auger in the down position, carrying the weight of the
auger on the winch cable and not on the track stops.
• Take extreme caution in maneuvering on or around tight corners so as not to catch the end
of the auger on trees, buildings, power lines, etc.
• The equipment should never be towed without the safety chain securely attached to the
auger and the towing vehicle.
• When moving the auger on the road, always use a red flag, or if absolutely necessary to
move at night, accessory lights for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles.
• Always travel at a safe speed.
• Inflate transport tires to recommended pressure.
Service and Maintenance
• Stop engine, set brake, remove ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
• Support the equipment with blocks or safety stands before working beneath it.
• Follow good shop practices including:
- keep service area clean and dry
- be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded
- use adequate light for the job.
• Use only tools, jacks, and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
• Replace and secure all shields removed during servicing before operating.
• Use heavy leather gloves to handle sharp objects.
• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion, which may result in serious injury or death.
Storage Safety
• Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
• Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
• Support the frame on stands and blocks to provide a secure base.
• When storing an Auger, park it on level ground so that the bottom end will never be over its
center of gravity.
• Block the wheels of the Auger so that it will not move and tear the jack from it’s mount.
• When storing the auger, the intake end should be tied or weighted to prevent tipping.
