Storage & Maintenance; General Maintenance - HARVEST A1072 Operator's Manual

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.
After Maintenance is completed, replace and secure all safety shields,
safety devices, service doors and cleanout covers.
See section 5, "Hydraulics" for information on maintenance of hydraulic
hoses.
See section 7, "Appendix & Forms" for expanded lube information.
Truss Cables: Replace cables if frayed or damaged. Be sure clamps are
secure. Adjust cables as needed to keep the auger tube reasonably
straight.
Wheel Hubs: Repack hubs every two to three years to lengthen the life of
the hubs.
