Under Hopper Bottom Bins
1. Confirm that hopper is centered between the hopper bin vertical legs. This ensures that the operator has
adequate clearance.
2. Move auger into place. Do not allow auger tube or components to contact grain bin.
3. Raise the auger to desired height.
4. Place chocks in the front and back of each wheel and anchor the intake end.
5.3. Positioning the Auger with a Mover Kit
Æ
When equipped with a Mover Kit:
Before Operating the Mover Kit:
• Ensure the area around the auger is reasonably level and there is adequate clearance for making wide turns.
• Check the hydraulic oil to ensure that the levels are correct.
Running the machine on low oil will overheat the system causing components to break
down.
• Store the offset hitch on the frame, see storage location in
Section 3. – Features on page 25
.
To Operate the Mover Kit:
1. Engage the over-center handle at each wheel (
Figure 13 on page 32
) and check that the gears are fully
meshed. If necessary, refer to Pinion Gear Adjustment section.
