Always maintain safe distance when unfolding vertical auger near
power lines.
Do not disengage PTO before clutch has been shut off. This may plug
auger with too much grain and you will not be able to restart auger.
Failure to disengage the clutch prior to shutting down the tractor can
cause a failure of the swivel fitting. Trapped oil in the clutch circuit
can expand due to warm temperatures, causing the swivel fitting to
fail.
