1. I ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS NTRODUCTION MKX130-84/94/114 1.1.1. A UGER OWER OURCE The power source for the auger is a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO (see Figure 1.2). An optional Right-Angle PTO Drive kit allows the auger to be powered by a tractor positioned at a 90 degree angle to the auger (Figure 1.3).
1. I NTRODUCTION ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 1.1.2. G RAIN RANSFER The grain transfer boot is located at the bottom of the main auger tube, and contains gearing for power transfer as well as flights for transferring grain. PTO driveline connection (including connection to the optional 540 RPM PTO Reverser and 1000 RPM PTO Drive) is provided on the back of the boot, above the tractor hitch (and hitch jack).
1. I ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS NTRODUCTION MKX130-84/94/114 1.1.3. G RAIN OPPER The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles (see “Install the Low Profile Intake Hopper”...

1. I ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS NTRODUCTION MKX130-84/94/114 1.1.4. A UGER YDRAULIC The auger tube is raised and lowered using two single-acting hydraulic cylinders powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to retract.
2. S ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS AFETY MKX130-84/94/114 2. Safety 2.1. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION The Safety Alert symbol identifies important safety messages on the product and in the manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury or death.
2. S AFETY ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your equipment. YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to work around the equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information contained in this manual.
Page 19
2. S ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS AFETY MKX130-84/94/114 • Operate auger on level ground free of debris. If ground is uneven, anchor the auger to prevent tipping or upending. • Augers are not insulated. Keep away from electrical lines. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
2. S AFETY ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 Figure 2.1 2.4. PTO SAFETY • Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order. • Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating. • Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applica- ble).
2. S ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS AFETY MKX130-84/94/114 • Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm. • Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed recommended operating length for PTO driveline. 2.5. HYDRAULIC SAFETY • Wear proper hand and face protection when searching for hydraulic leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury like gangrene.
2. S AFETY ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 2.6. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY • Transport auger in full down position with slight ten- sion on cable. • Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow auger to separate from towing vehicle.
PTO driveline shields, winches, and lift cables must meet ASABE standards or serious injury may result. Use of unauthorized parts will void warranty. If in doubt, contact Westfield or your Westfield dealer. • Do not modify any auger components without authorization from Westfield.

If any unusual noises or vibrations are encountered, determine the source, shut the auger off, lock out the power source, and adjust. If unsure of the problem or procedure, contact your local Westfield dealer. Important: When starting the auger for the first time, be prepared for an emergency shutdown in case of excessive vibration or noise.
6. O PERATION ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 9. Lock out the tractor and conduct a complete inspection of the auger following the checklist on page 95. Important: After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and inspected at least 3 more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
6. O ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS PERATION MKX130-84/94/114 • If grain overflows through safety discharge door, then the auger is loaded beyond its capacity; reduce volume of feed going into intake hopper.
