Cylinder Hydraulics - HARVEST H13104XT Operator's Manual

5.2 Cylinder Hydraulics

The testing done on Harvest auger hydraulics was done using a
pressure gauge with 3000psi maximum rating. This was used simply as
a guide. The psi requirements for an individual auger may vary slightly.
Have approximately four liters of hydraulic fluid in your system. Check
that the valve on the hose to lift the cylinder is open. Start tractor and
engage hydraulics. Raise the auger to desired height, and close hose
valve. You must turn valve while the hydraulic system is pressurized; do
not disconnect hydraulic couplers.
WARNING:
If valve hose remains open, a loss of hydraulic pressure within the
tractor system could allow the auger to lower unexpectedly, causing
damage to the auger and personal injury.
To lower the auger, reconnect hose couplers to the tractor. Ensure that
area is clear and wheels are free to move. Open the hose valve, start
your tractor, and engage hydraulics. The auger is fully lowered when the
tube is resting on the tube saddle.
NOTICE:
After valves are opened, the auger lowers by gravity. As the auger
nears the full down position, the rate of descent will increase.
