DANGER:
If ground is very uneven, auger can tip and cause damage to the
equipment and personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never position raisers of any kind under the wheels of the auger to
increase height. This includes pieces of wood, cement blocks, bricks,
etc. Attempting this could result in damage to the equipment 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.
Make sure that the wheels of your auger are free to move before you
raise or lower your auger.
CAUTION:
If the auger wheels are buried in any type of material, do not attempt to
raise or lower the auger. Remove dirt, snow, grain, or whatever other
material is obstructing the auger before use.
Check that the valve on the hose to the lift cylinder is open. Double
check that the area above and around the auger is clear of obstructions.
Raise auger to desired height, and close hose valve after auger is
positioned.
WARNING:
If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic pressure within the
tractor system will allow the auger to lower by itself; this could cause
damage to the auger and personal injury or death.
NOTICE:
Do not use the auger as a hoist or crane, no matter the size or weight
of the object being lifted. This will create an unsafe condition and void
your warranty.
