Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety chapter, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
This manual is a supplement to the MKX Series Operator Manual. Please ensure that
you have read and understood that manual.
4.1. Transport Safety
• Do not transport a GULP2-equipped auger with the end ramp installed on the
GULP2 hopper. Always disconnect the end ramp and store it securely on the trans-
port vehicle before transport.
• Raise intake feed hopper into transport position and lock hopper lift winch before
transporting or moving auger.
• Do not operate auger with GULP2 hopper in transport position. This will cause dam-
age to the u-joint.
• Connect the transport chain before moving.
• GULP2 hopper must be in transport position when lowering, raising, or moving
auger.
4.2. Transport Procedure
1. Lower the side flaps fully.
2. Disconnect the end ramp, and store it securely in the vehicle used to transport the
auger.
Lifting the end ramp requires two people due to its weight and size.
3. Reel out the lift arm cable until one of the hooks can be attached to the lifting point
on a side ramp, then use the winch to lift that side ramp until it is upright.
4. Attach the second hook to the lifting point on the opposite side ramp, then use the
winch to raise the side ramp until it is upright.
5. Retract the lift arm cable and lift the hopper up until the transport chain can be
connected to the cable diverter plate.
6. Disconnect hydraulic hoses, remove power source, and secure the hose on the
auger frame to prevent the hose from damage due to dragging.
