1.1.1. GRAIN TRANSFER BOOT AND PTO DRIVELINE
The grain transfer boot is located at the bottom of the main auger tube, and
contains gearing for power transfer as well as flights for transferring grain.
The power source for the auger is a standard 1000 RPM tractor PTO. The PTO
driveline connections (both forward and reverse directions) are located on the
speed reducer gearbox above the tractor hitch.
The auger tube lift valve used to allow or shut off hydraulic pressure to the main
auger tube lift cylinders, and is located on the side of the boot (see figure below).
See section 6.1. for further information on auger controls.
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair, as well as an
overflow panel on the swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom
of the boot.

1.1.2. GRAIN HOPPER
The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain
for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles (see
“Connect the Intake Hopper to the Swing Tube” on page 87).
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, hydraulic winch, and transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.4).The hopper
lift arm can be reconfigured for lifting on either side of the auger.
Do not approach, open or close the maintenance hatch located on the transition
between the swing are tube and the hopper unless all power to the auger is
locked out.
DANGER
Rotating Auger Hazard
Contact with rotating flighting will result in
amputation or severe laceration.
DO NOT operate with guards removed or
modified.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
auger.
Tie up long hair and remove jewellery.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing or items
that could become caught.
Shut off and lock out the power source before
unplugging or cleaning.

1.1.3. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT
The auger tube is raised and lowered using single-acting hydraulic cylinders
powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is
raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to
retract. (see Figure 1.5).
A hydraulic ball valve mounted on the side of the grain pick-up boot controls flow
of hydraulic fluid to the lift cylinders, and with appropriate use of the hydraulic
controls on the connected tractor, allows the main auger tube to be raised,
lowered, or locked at a specific height during operation (see “Operator Controls”
on page 119).

• Wear proper hand and face protection when searching for hydraulic leaks.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury
like gangrene. In case of accident, see a doctor immediately.
• Fluid leaks in the hydraulic lift cylinders or hoses will allow the auger to lower
inadvertently. Repair all leaks and breaks immediately. Rupture could cause
damage and/or personal injury.
• A hydraulic lift is faster than a conventional hand crank—always clear area of
personnel before raising or lowering.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic couplers when hydraulic system is pressurized.
For the correct procedure, consult this manual or your tractor manual.
• Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic lines.
• Inspect hydraulic fittings and hoses for damage on a daily basis. Repair if
damaged.
• Ensure that the hydraulic line(s) is (are) properly connected and secure.

2.6. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Transport auger in full down position with slight ten-
sion on cable.
• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety
chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.
• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign
before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the
necessary lights for transportation where required
by law. Always use hazard warning flashers on the
tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless
prohibited by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15
mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces
and be cautious when turning corners or meeting
traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make
sure the area around the auger is clear of obstruc-
tions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow any-
one to stand on or beneath auger while
transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or low-
ering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so
will result in serious injury.
• Before moving auger, check and double check for overhead obstructions and/
or electrical wires. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• Raise intake feed hopper into transport position and lock hopper lift winch
before transporting or moving auger. Intake feed side of hopper must face
main auger when in transport position.
• Do not operate auger with intake hopper in transport position. This will cause
damage to the u-joint.
2.7. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Shut down and lock out all power before attempting maintenance of any kind.
Turn off the tractor and disconnect the PTO driveline and hydraulic hoses
from the tractor.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Support auger tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage
assembly. Auger should be in full down position for maintenance.
