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.
6. Maintenance & Storage
Proper maintenance of auger will result in both a longer life of the auger and a
safe and efficient operation.
6.1 General Maintenance
Always replace damaged or worn parts before using the auger. Use only
replacement parts manufactured by Harvest International, Inc. Use of
unauthorized parts will void the warranty of your auger. Contact your Harvest
International dealer to order parts.
Harvest International augers are designed and tested for a safe, efficient
operation. Do not modify the equipment in any way. Modification to the auger
can create an unsafe working condition, affect the life of the equipment, and
will void your warranty.
Before performing maintenance on your auger, shut down and lock out all
power. Disconnect the PTO driveline from the tractor. Support the auger tube
before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage. The auger should be in
full down position before attempting maintenance.
