3. Transportation and Placement
3.1 Before Transporting your Auger
Remove wheel chocks, so wheels are free to move.
DANGER:
If auger wheels are stuck in grain, mud, dirt, or snow. remove the
restraining substance from around the wheels before transport.
Failure to do this could cause damage to the auger, and serious injury
or death.
All Harvest augers have minimum clearance positions when in transport
mode. Place auger in full down position.
DANGER:
Electrocution Hazard! Make sure that all unauthorized personnel are
clear from the transport zone. This auger is not insulated. Be alert to
overhead obstructions and electrical wires. Electrocution can occur
without direct contact. Do not raise or lower auger until hazardous
area is cleared. Failure to maintain proper clearance can result in
serious injury or death.
Put hitch pin in place, and ensure that the safety chain is properly
attached. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow the auger to detach
itself from the tractor. If you have questions about appropriate hitch
pins, contact your tractor manufacturer.
Put PTO driveline and swing hopper into transport position and lock into
place. If swing hopper is not in transport position, the hopper will be
damaged during transport.
Put jack in raised position and lock into place. Use caution when working
with hitch jack.
If you have a light package for your auger, make sure the connections
are fastened securely and not dragging on the ground.

8
3.2 Transportation Procedure
Move auger with a tractor only. Never attempt to move by hand.
Under no condition should you allow riders on the auger or tractor.
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.
When visibility is reduced, please use caution and add extra lights to the auger.
Consider using a pilot vehicle for safer travel.
Use extreme caution when turning or cornering with the auger in tow.
Check regulations with local authorities regarding auger transportation. Follow
all over-width regulations. Equip auger with all necessary lighting, and use
hazard warning flashers on your tractor, when required by law.
3.3 Placement of Auger
Before raising or lowering your auger, check that the area is clear of
obstructions, children and unauthorized personnel.
DANGER:
Electrocution Hazard! Make sure that all unauthorized personnel are
clear from the transport zone. This auger is not insulated. Be alert to
overhead obstructions and electrical wires. Electrocution can occur
without direct contact. Do not raise or lower auger until hazardous area
is cleared. Failure to maintain proper clearance can result in serious
injury or death.
Ensure that your auger is on level ground that is free of debris.

9
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.

10
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
memechanism 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.

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.
Lift cable is properly aligned in pulley. Clamps are secure.
Fasteners are secure.
PTO driveline is securely attached to driveshaft and tractor.
PTO driveline rotates freely.
PTO driveline telescopes easily.
Tube alignment is reasonably straight.
Auger wheels and tractor wheels are chocked.
Intake hopper and discharge spout are free of any obstructions.
A second qualified person is present during operation.
All operators have read manual and are aware of safety
precautions.
Maintenance has been performed properly.
Power to PTO and hydraulic system is in off position before
starting tractor.
Hydraulic system has been thoroughly checked for leaks. (see
Section 5 “Hydraulics” for details).
4.2 Auger Drive & Lockout
The proper operation of this auger requires that the operator pre-inspect
the drive system, know how to shut down the system in an emergency,
and generally monitor the system during operation.
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 80 inches of PTO
driveline, or the maximum angularity of 30 degrees.
Lockout/Shutdown of PTO Driveline: Turn off engine. Remove ignition key
from tractor. If for some reason, you cannot remove the key, remove the
PTO driveline from the tractor.

12
4.3 Start Up & Break In
DANGER:
Electrocution Hazard! Make sure that all unauthorized personnel are
clear from the operation zone. This auger is not insulated. Be alert to
overhead obstructions and electrical wires. Electrocution can occur
without direct contact. Do not raise or lower auger until hazardous area
is cleared. Failure to maintain proper clearance can result in serious
injury or death.
Have you completed the pre-operational checklist? If everything is
satisfactory, prepare for a 30 minute operation at half speed to break in
your auger. Double check that the intake hopper is properly positioned,
and the PTO drive on the tractor is in the off position.
NOTICE:
When starting the auger for the first time, be prepared for an emergency
shutdown in case of excessive vibration or noise. The auger may run
roughly until the tube is polished.
Start the tractor and idle at low RPM. Slowly engage the PTO driveline.
Gradually begin to feed grain into the intake hopper, bringing the speed
of the PTO to 200 RPM. Do not over-feed the hopper on initial loads;
keep the feed of the grain at half capacity. After the auger tube is
polished and runs smoothly, proceed to unload at full speed (at but not
to exceed 540 RPM for maximum efficiency).
Upon completion of initial run, slow down until the auger is empty of
grain, and stop auger. Lock out the power source and conduct a
complete inspection of the auger, following the pre-operation checklist.
After the initial start up and inspection, the auger should be shut down
and inspected at least three times during the first hours of operation.
Once your auger is broken in, the pre-operation checklist should be part
of the daily routine before you operate the auger.

13
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.
WARNING:
Never use your hands to clean out debris from auger. Rather, use a small
shovel or other tool.
In the case where there has been an interruption or emergency shutdown,
restart the auger as follows:
If auger is full of grain, do not restart at full speed. Engage PTO at low RPM
and gradually increase power until normal operating speed is achieved.
CAUTION:
Starting the auger under load may result in damage to the auger. Make
sure there is no blockage.
For normal auger operations, the following procedure and safety precautions
are strongly recommended:
Complete the pre-operation checklist before using your auger.
Remember to ground motor before using auger if an electric motor is being
used.
When using the auger, work with another trained operator present to monitor
the operation and help with a shutdown in case of an emergency. Monitor the
auger during operation for vibration and abnormal noises. If anything out of
the ordinary is noted, shut down and lock out the auger, determine the
source, and correct before continuing operation.
Keep the hopper full and running at 540 RPM for maximum capacity. Pour
grain in the middle of hopper, closest to the tube for best results.
Run the auger only when moving material. Running the auger without grain
moving through causes unnecessary wear.
4.5 Shutting Down the Auger
Empty the auger of all grain. Disengage the PTO drive. Shut down and lock
out power.

14
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).
The proper steps for clean out of the auger are as follows:
1. Disengage power source; lower the auger into transport position.
There will be no clicking sound.
2. Turn handle clockwise until you hear two clicks. This locks the brake.
3. Shut off tractor and lock out power.
4. Move intake hopper into transport position and latch with safety
chain.
5. If necessary, clean out grain using small shovel or other tool.
WARNING:
Do not leave auger in raised position when not in use. Auger could drop
rapidly in case of hydraulic failure. High winds may also upset the
auger. Because the hydraulic scissor lift is faster than a hand crank
system, use extra caution and clear area of personnel before raising or
lowering auger.
4.7 Lowering the Auger
Check that auger and hose couplers are securely attached to your
tractor.
You may need to raise the auger discharge end up and out of bin or
storage facility before proceeding.
Remove wheel chocks, and check that the area around and under the
auger is clear of debris and unauthorized personnel. Wheels must be
free to move when raising or lowering the auger.
Slowly pull away from bin or storage facility. As soon as you are clear,
engage the hydraulics and lower the auger. Once valves are open, the
auger lowers by gravity. Rate of descent increases the closer the auger
gets to the down position. Be cautious.
Transport auger only in fully lowered position.

15
5. Hydraulics
5.1 General Information
Be sure that all safety precautions and proper operation procedures are
fully understood before connecting the auger hydraulic hoses. Harvest
strongly recommends doing a daily visual check for damage to the
hoses and connectors. Replace any damaged parts before operation.
WARNING:
Wear proper face and hand protection when searching for hydraulic
leaks. Fluid can escape under pressure, causing infection or toxic
reaction on skin. See a doctor immediately if injured.
Escaping hydraulic fluid can be nearly invisible under high pressure. Use
some type of backdrop when searching for leaks.
Harvest 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. After you have repaired the hydraulic hose, the
system resets itself and is ready for operation.
There are various types of tractor hydraulic systems; the quick connect
couplers are supplied by the owners. Please consult your tractor manual
for the proper couplers.
Before you connect your hydraulic hoses, check that the quick connect
couplers on the auger and tractor are clean and free of any dirt or
debris; wiping them down with a cloth.
CAUTION:
Dirt in the hydraulic system can damage the cylinder o-rings. This may
cause leakage and possible system failure.
Do not disconnect the hydraulic coupler when the system is under
pressure. Relieve all pressure and then disconnect.

H1374XT 13” x 74’ 1800
H1384XT 13” x 84’ 1900
5.2 Cylinder Hydraulics
The testing done on Harvest 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.
Have approximately four liters of hydraulic fluid in your system. Check
that the valve on the hose to lift the cylinder is open. Start tractor and
engage hydraulics. Raise the auger to desired height, and close hose
valve. You must turn valve while the hydraulic system is pressurized; do
not disconnect hydraulic couplers.
WARNING:
If valve hose remains open, a loss of hydraulic pressure within the
tractor system could allow the auger to lower unexpectedly, causing
damage to the auger and personal injury.
To lower the auger, reconnect hose couplers to the tractor. Ensure that
area is clear and wheels are free to move. Open the hose valve, start
your tractor, and engage hydraulics. The auger is fully lowered when the
tube is resting on the tube saddle.
NOTICE:
After valves are opened, the auger lowers by gravity. As the auger
nears the full down position, the rate of descent will increase.

17
6. Maintenance & Storage
Proper maintenance of auger will result in both a longer life of the auger
and a safe and efficient operation.
6.1 General Maintenance
Always replace damaged or worn parts before using the auger. Use only
replacement parts manufactured by Harvest. Use of unauthorized parts
will void the warranty of your auger. Contact your Harvest dealer to order
parts.
Harvest augers are designed and tested for a safe, efficient operation. Do
not modify the equipment in any way. Modification to the auger can
create an unsafe working condition, affect the life of the equipment, and
will void your warranty.
Before performing maintenance on your auger, shut down and lock out all
power. Disconnect the PTO driveline from the tractor. Support the auger
tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage. The auger
should be in full down position before attempting maintenance.
After Maintenance is completed, replace and secure all safety shields,
safety devices, service doors and cleanout covers.
See section 5, “Hydraulics” for information on maintenance of hydraulic
hoses.
See section 7, “Appendix & Forms” for expanded lube information.
Winch: Keep a film of grease on the gears. Occasionally oil the bushings,
drum shaft, and ratchet. Do not get oil or grease on the brake discs.
Replace the brake discs if they wear down to less than 1/16” thick.
Lift/Truss Cables: Replace cables if frayed or damaged. Be sure clamps
are secure. Adjust cables as needed to keep the auger tube reasonably
straight.
Wheel Hubs: Repack hubs every two to three years to lengthen the life of
the hubs.

18
Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly. The recommended tire
pressure should be maintained at 40 to 45 psi.
PTO Driveline: Lubricate both universal joints after every eight hours of
operation. Lubricate the center portion of the driveline on a yearly basis.
The first lube maintenance should be done in the first 16 to 24 hours of
operation. Then follow a regular schedule of lubing.
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. Oil the chain frequently enough to keep a film of oil on the
chain. This must be done through the maintenance portal. Replace shield
after maintenance.
Universal Joint: Remove PTO guard cover and lubricate grease fitting in
the U-Joint every eight hours of use. Check PTO retain bolt and retighten
if necessary.
6.2 Storage of Auger
Make sure that auger is in the full down position. Remove all residual
material from the hopper and auger tubes. Touch up all scratches on the
auger to prevent rusting.
Clean and re-lubricate spline on the PTO driveline. Cover with plastic
bag to protect from weather, and place it in the transport latch.
Move auger to your storage area, park, and chock wheels.
Before using the auger after storage, replace any damaged parts or
decals, remove plastic bag from PTO driveline and re-lubricate, and
conduct general maintenance procedure.
