OMPLETION
After operation:
1. Clean entire work area.
2. Remove all supports and chocks.
3. Move
auger out of working position and lower fully (see shaded box that
follows for lowering procedure).
4. Move auger to the next work area or to a storage area and then clean out.
5. Clean out auger.
a. Shut off tractor engine and lock out power.
b. If necessary, open cleanout cover on the boot and manually clean out grain
with a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other tool. Do not use hands.
c. Replace cleanout cover.
d. Winch intake feed hopper into transport position and clean out remaining

OWERING
1. Raise the intake feed hopper slightly. Do not attempt to lift by hand.
• Never operate auger with intake feed hopper in transport position. This
will damage the universal joint.
2. Reconnect hose coupler to tractor, if disconnected.
3. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before lowering.
4. Ensure area beneath auger is clear.
5. Open hose valve.
6. Open tractor valve, feathering to prevent too rapid a descent.
• The tractor must be running while the auger is being lowered.
• Once valves are open, auger lowers by gravity. As the auger nears the
full down position, the rate of descent increases. Do not operate with
tractor valve fully open.
7. After auger is fully lowered, raise the intake feed hopper into full transport
position. Refer to “Transport Procedure” on page 43 step 3.
• Never operate auger with intake feed hopper in transport position. This
will damage the universal joint.
WARNING
Do not leave auger in raised position when not
in use. Auger could drop rapidly due to a cable
break.
