STEP 12: Install the Auger Adapter Shields (PN 6137) around the auger adapter and
secure to the guard bracket (PN 6274) with two bolts (PN 1180) and two nuts
(PN 2168). Install two bolts (PN 2339) and two nuts (PN 2168) in the bottom
two holes of the Auger Adapter Shields. (Refer to Fig. 8.)
Refer to your tractor operating manual for instructions on tractor operation,
tire inflation, and safety when using a three-point hitch mounted implement.
NOTE
When removing the digger from the tractor, disconnect the driveline from the
tractor PTO to prevent damaging the driveline and safety guards.

Troubleshooting
1. Front end of boom
contacts tractor when
boom is raised or
lowered.
(a) Attach the boom to the tractor through a different hole in
the upper link bracket. Upper holes will shorten travel.
Lower holes will increase travel.
(b) Refer to your tractor operating manual for adjustment of
the three-point hitch.
(c) Relocate or adjust the part of the tractor causing the
interference.
2. Digger yoke strikes
boom when digger is
raised.
(a) Attach the front end of the boom to a more forward hole
on the upper link bracket.
(b) Attach the lower links to rear forward pivot points.
(c) Lengthen the lower links.
(d) Refer to your tractor operating manual for adjustment of
the three-point hitch.
3. Tractor has difficulty
raising auger.
(a) Attach the lift links to more forward holes in the rockshaft
lift arms to decrease lift range.
(b) Move the lift links to more forward holes in the lower
links to decrease travel.
(c) Check the tractor hydraulic system to be sure it is raising
and lowering to the maximum and minimum heights
recommended in your tractor operating manual.
4. Driveline strikes tractor
power take-off shield
when digger is raised.
(a) Refer to your tractor operating manual for adjustment of
the three-point hitch.
5. Tractor action is
“jerky” with the digger
attached, or the hitch
raises and lowers
rapidly during
transport.
(a) Adjust tractor hydraulic system for “position control”
implement rather than “draft” or “load control.”
(b) If applicable, lock tractor upper link bracket in a fixed
position.
