Harvest International thanks you for your purchase of the best quality auger on the market. We are proud to have you on our team. Our equipment is manufactured in the United States of America and is made to improve your farming operation. Before you operate this auger, we advise that you read this manual and familiarize yourself with each of the features.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass on to new operators or owners. Call your Harvest International distributor or dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the manual.
2. Safety First Safety is a priority in your everyday work habit, especially if you work with machinery. Whether you are an owner, an operator, or an employee, it is your responsibility to know the operational requirements and safety precautions of the machinery.
Failure to do this could cause damage to the auger, and serious injury or death. All Harvest International augers have minimum clearance positions when in transport mode. Place auger in full down position.
Transport the auger no faster than 15 mph. When roads are rough or surfaces are uneven, slow down to ensure safe travel. DANGER: Do not transport the auger on slopes greater than 20 degrees. This could cause the auger to tip, resulting in damage to the auger, 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.
Use tractor hydraulics to raise the auger into position. Slowly back the auger into position until the spout is over the opening of the bin or storage facility and use tractor hydraulics to slowly lower the spout into the opening. As soon as the auger is in position, the wheels of the auger must be chocked on both sides.
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.
Drive System and PTO Driveline: Ensure that the PTO drive on the tractor is in the off position before starting the tractor. Stay clear of PTO hazard area. Do not exceed the maximum operation length of 34 inches of PTO driveline, or the maximum angularity of 30 degrees.
4.4 Everyday Operation WARNING: When auger is in operation, keep your hands, clothing, and other objects away from intake hopper, drive chains, and all other parts of auger to avoid personal injury. For normal auger operations, the following procedure and safety precautions are strongly recommended: Complete the pre-operation checklist before using your auger.
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).
Escaping hydraulic fluid can be nearly invisible under high pressure. Use some type of backdrop when searching for leaks. Harvest International 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.
5.2 Cylinder Hydraulics The testing done on Harvest International 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 Size H1062 10”...
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.
Lube Recommendation: Lube cross and bearing every 8 hours of use. Lube telescoping members yearly. NOTICE: Replacement parts are not lubricated. When you receive these parts in, make sure to lubricate and tighten screws. Mechanical Chain Drive: Keep drive chain tension adjusted to about ¼” deflection by loosening the four bolts on the lower bearing, then retightening.
