    2. Safety First Safety is a priority in your everyday work habit, especially if you work with machinery.

  • Page 7: Transportation & Placement

    3. Transportation and Placement 3.1 Before Transporting your Auger Remove wheel chocks, so wheels are free to move. DANGER: If auger wheels are stuck in grain, mud, dirt, or snow. remove the restraining substance from around the wheels before transport. Failure to do this could cause damage to the auger, and serious injury or death.

  • Page 8: Transport Procedure

    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.
  • Page 9 DANGER: If ground is very uneven, auger can tip and cause damage to the equipment and personal injury or death. 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.

  • Page 10: Final Placement

    3.4 Final Placement of Auger When you are ready to use your auger, place the auger in its lowered position, and slowly back it up to your bin or storage facility, keeping an eye out for any people or obstructions in the hazard zone. DANGER: Avoid any electrical wires and overhead obstructions.
  • Page 11 When lowering the auger, never turn the winch handle counterclockwise to attempt to correct a stuck cable. This will disengage the brake mechanism and create an unsafe condition. If the cable stops moving, check to see where the binding is happening and fix before proceeding.

  • Page 12: Operation

    4. Operation Wear protective gear at all times when operating auger, such as hard hats, protective shoes, eye protection, and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, and be sure that hair is tied back. 4.1 Pre-Operation Checklist Before operating the auger, the operator must follow this checklist: All safety shields are in place, secure, and in good working order.

  • Page 13: Auger Drive & Lockout

    4.2 Auger Drive & Lockout The proper operation of this auger requires that the operator pre-inspect the drive system, know how to shut down the system in an emergency, and generally monitor the system during operation. Drive System and PTO Driveline: Ensure that the PTO drive on the tractor is in the off position before starting the tractor.

  • Page 14: Everyday Operation

    polished and runs smoothly, proceed to unload at full speed (at but not to exceed 540 RPM for maximum efficiency). Upon completion of initial run, slow down until the auger is empty of grain, and stop auger. Lock out the power source and conduct a complete inspection of the auger, following the pre-operation checklist.

  • Page 15: Shutting Down The Auger

    4.5 Shutting Down the Auger Empty the auger of all grain. Disengage the PTO drive. Shut down and lock out power. WARNING: Never use your hands to clean out debris from auger. Rather, use a small shovel or other tool. In the case where there has been an interruption or emergency shutdown, restart the auger as follows: If auger is full of grain, do not restart at full speed.

  • Page 16: Lowering The Auger

    WARNING: Do not leave auger in raised position when not in use. Auger could drop rapidly in case of hydraulic failure. High winds may also upset the auger. Because the hydraulic scissor lift is faster than a hand crank system, use extra caution and clear area of personnel before raising or lowering auger.

  • Page 17: Hydraulics

    Escaping hydraulic fluid can be nearly invisible under high pressure. Use some type of backdrop when searching for leaks. Harvest by Meridian augers have a velocity fuse for hydraulic safety. If the hydraulic line breaks, it locks the system. Our shut off valve is equipped with a flow restrictive orifice.

  • Page 18: Cylinder Hydraulics

    5.2 Cylinder Hydraulics The testing done on Harvest by Meridian 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. Auger...

  • Page 19: Storage & Maintenance

    Contact your Harvest by Meridian dealer to order parts. Harvest by Meridian 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.

  • Page 20: Storage Of Auger

    Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly. The recommended tire pressure should be maintained at 40 to 45 psi. PTO Driveline: Lubricate both universal joints after every eight hours of operation. Lubricate the center portion of the driveline on a yearly basis. The first lube maintenance should be done in the first 16 to 24 hours of operation.
