WARNING:
Never position raisers of any kind under the wheels of the auger to
increase height. This includes pieces of wood, cement blocks, bricks, etc.
Attempting this could result in damage to the equipment and personal
injury or death.
Make sure that the hitch is secured to the tractor, and that all hydraulic
connections are tight and in good working condition. If there are any leaks or
damaged hoses, you must replace these before using your auger. Replacement
hoses and hose ends must have a minimum strength of 1900psi working
pressure.
Make sure that the wheels of your auger are free to move before you raise or
lower your auger.
CAUTION:
If the auger wheels are buried in any type of material, do not attempt to
raise or lower the auger. Remove dirt, snow, grain, or whatever other
material is obstructing the auger before use.
Check that the valve on the hose to the lift cylinder is open. Double check that
the area above and around the auger is clear of obstructions. Raise auger to
desired height, and
close hose valve after auger is positioned.
WARNING:
If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic pressure within the tractor
system will allow the auger to lower by itself; this could cause damage to
the auger and personal injury or death.
NOTICE:
Do not use the auger as a hoist or crane, no matter the size or weight of
the object being lifted. This will create an unsafe condition and void your
warranty.
