Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.2) that will not allow auger to separate from
towing vehicle.
3. Ensure auger is on reasonably level ground when raising, lowering, or
positioning.
4. Before raising or positioning auger, make sure that entire area in line of
travel, both on the ground and overhead, is clear of any obstructions or
electrical wires.
Important: Because of the many different kinds of tractor hydraulic systems, the quick-
connect coupler must be supplied by the owner. Please consult your tractor
manual or dealer for the proper coupler.
5. Before connecting hose, wipe off quick-connect coupler on auger and tractor.
6. Connect hydraulic hoses, ensure connections are tight. Check for leaks,
binding, flattening, kinks, or wear.
Important: Wheels must be free to move when raising or lowering auger.
7. If the auger must be raised for positioning:
a. Check that valve on hose to lift cylinder is open.
b. Raise auger to the desired height.
c. Close hose valve (after auger is positioned).
8. Connect hydraulic hoses, ensure connections are tight. Check for leaks,
binding, flattening, kinks, or wear.
Important: The auger features a hydraulic lift system that only needs a small amount of
hydraulic oil to raise the auger. This is done by pumping oil into and out of the
upper chamber of the cylinder as the auger is raised and lowered. For this
system to work,
the tractor must be running and the down lever must be fully
engaged as auger is lowered.
CAUTION
If auger wheels are partially or fully buried in
snow or grain, failure to clear the area around
the wheels before moving may cause damage
to the auger or result in serious injury.
NOTICE
Dirt in the hydraulic system can damage the cylinder o-
rings, causing leakage and the possible failure of the
system and personal injury.
WARNING
Auger must be hooked up to tractor for all
operations, including transport, raising,
placement, and augering grain.
