Shutting Down The Auger; Completion & Cleanup - HARVEST H1384XT Operator's Manual

4.5 Shutting Down the Auger

Empty the auger of all grain. Disengage the PTO drive. Shut down and lock out
power.
WARNING:
Never use your hands to clean out debris from auger. Rather, use a small
shovel or other tool.
In the case where there has been an interruption or emergency shutdown,
restart the auger as follows:
If auger is full of grain, do not restart at full speed. Engage PTO at low RPM and
gradually increase power until normal operating speed is achieved.
CAUTION:
Starting the auger under load may result in damage to the auger. Make sure
there is no blockage.
4.6 Completion and Cleanup
At completion of operation, the auger needs to be moved into storage position.
Make sure that the entire work area is clean, remove all supports and wheel
chocks, move auger out of working position, and fully lower the auger (see
lowering procedure below).
The proper steps for clean out of the auger are as follows:
1) Disengage power source; lower the auger into transport position.
2) Shut off tractor and lock out power.
3) Move intake hopper into transport position and latch with safety chain.
4) If necessary, clean out grain using small shovel or other tool.
WARNING:
Do not leave auger in raised position when not in use. Auger could drop
rapidly in case of hydraulic failure. High winds may also upset the auger.
Because the hydraulic scissor lift is faster than a hand crank system, use
extra caution and clear area of personnel before raising or lowering auger.
