Shutting Down The Auger; Completion & Cleanup - HARVEST T1036 Operator's Manual

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. Engage PTO at low
RPM and gradually increase power until normal operating speed is
achieved.
CAUTION:
Starting the auger under load may result in damage to the auger.
Make sure there is no blockage.
4.6 Completion and Cleanup
At completion of operation, the auger needs to be moved into storage
position. Make sure that the entire work area is clean, remove all supports
and wheel chocks, move auger out of working position, and fully lower
the auger (see lowering procedure below).
The proper steps for clean out of the auger are as follows:
1) Disengage power source; lower the auger into transport
position. There will be no clicking sound.
2) Turn handle clockwise until you hear two clicks. This locks the
break.
3) Shut off tractor and lock out power.
4) Move intake hopper into transport position and latch with safety
chain.
5) If necessary, clean out grain using small shovel or other tool.
