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. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact. Failure to listen to this warning can result
in personal injury or death
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. To prevent tipping, anchor or support the auger
during operation.
3.5 Lowering the Auger
Attach auger to tractor, making sure that your hydraulics are also
attached to the tractor. Raise the auger, to ensure that the outlet end is
above the bin or storage facility. Remove wheel chocks and ensure area
is clear of personnel and obstructions.
Drive forward, pulling auger slowly away from the bin or storage facility.
Be sure that the wheels are free to move, and lower the auger. Make sure
auger is in full down position before proceeding.
When lowering the auger, never turn the winch handle counterclockwise
to attempt to correct a stuck cable. This will disengage the brake
me
mechanism and create an unsafe condition.
If the cable stops moving, check to see where the binding is happening
and fix before proceeding. The track guide could be stuck. If there is too
much slack in the cable, the auger could drop suddenly. Winch in the
slack cable and correct before proceeding.
After lowering the auger, turn the handle clockwise two clicks to lock the
winch brake. Always keep a minimum amount of 3 wraps of cable around
is winch is for manual operation only.
