3.2 Transportation Procedure
Move auger with a tractor only. Never attempt to move by hand.
Under no condition should you allow riders on the auger or tractor.
Transport the auger no faster than 15 mph. When roads are rough or surfaces
are uneven, slow down to ensure safe travel.
DANGER:
Do not transport the auger on slopes greater than 20 degrees. This
could cause the auger to tip, resulting in damage to the auger, and
personal injury or death.
When visibility is reduced, please use caution and add extra lights to the auger.
Consider using a pilot vehicle for safer travel.
Use extreme caution when turning or cornering with the auger in tow.
Check regulations with local authorities regarding auger transportation. Follow
all over-width regulations. Equip auger with all necessary lighting, and use
hazard warning flashers on your tractor, when required by law.

3.3 Placement of Auger

Before raising or lowering your auger, check that the area is clear of
obstructions, children and unauthorized personnel.
DANGER:
Electrocution Hazard! Make sure that all unauthorized personnel are
clear from the transport zone. This auger is not insulated. Be alert to
overhead obstructions and electrical wires. Electrocution can occur
without direct contact. Do not raise or lower auger until hazardous area
is cleared. Failure to maintain proper clearance can result in serious

Ensure that your auger is on level ground that is free of debris.
