1.1.1. AUGER POWER SOURCE
The power source for the auger is a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO (see Figure
1.2). An optional Right-Angle PTO Drive kit allows the auger to be powered by a
tractor positioned at a 90 degree angle to the auger (Figure 1.3).
An optional 1000 RPM PTO Drive kit provides a speed reducer that allows use
with 1000 RPM PTO tractors, as well as reverser capability that is used to rotate
the auger flightings in the reverse direction (transferring grain in the auger tube
back to the hopper).
An optional 540 RPM Reverser kit provides a similar reverser capability for
540 RPM PTO connections.

1.1.2. GRAIN TRANSFER BOOT
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.
PTO driveline connection (including connection to the optional 540 RPM PTO
Reverser and 1000 RPM PTO Drive) is provided on the back of the boot, above
the tractor hitch (and hitch jack).
The ball valve used to raise or lower the main auger tube is located on the side of
the boot (see figure below), as is the manual winch used to raise and lower the
grain hopper (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.

1.1.3. 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
“Install the Low Profile Intake Hopper” on page 70).
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, winch (hydraulic or manual operation, according to the installed option), and
transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.6).
The grain hopper provides service to the side of the auger that it is installed on,
but the hopper, lift arm, and winch can be quickly reconfigured to install the
hopper on the other side if required.
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.

1.1.4. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT
The auger tube is raised and lowered using two 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 1.7).
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 93).

YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your equipment.
YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to work around the
equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you, but also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your
safety program.
Important: Below are general instructions that apply to all safety practices. Any instructions
specific to a certain safety practice (e.g., Operational Safety), can be found in the
appropriate section. Always read the complete instructional sections and not just
these safety summaries before doing anything with the equipment.
• It is the equipment owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsi-
bility to read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and man-
uals and follow them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the
equipment. All accidents can be avoided.
• Equipment owners must give instructions and review the information initially
and annually with all personnel before allowing them to operate this product.
Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
• Use this equipment for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way without written permission from the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety, and could affect the life of the equipment. Any unauthorized modifica-
tion of the equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not allow any unauthorized person in the work area.
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read and understand the assembly instructions to get to know the sub-
assemblies and hardware that make up the equipment before proceeding to
assemble the product.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the auger in case of
accident. Always work with a second trained person around augers.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from intake
during operation.
• Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged. Make
sure it is seated properly in cable sheaves and cable clamps are secure.

• Operate auger on level ground free of debris. If ground is uneven, anchor the
auger to prevent tipping or upending.
• Augers are not insulated. Keep away from electrical lines. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact.
• Support the discharge end and/or anchor the intake end before operating to
prevent upending.
• Do not use auger as a hoist.
• Empty auger before raising or lowering.
• Lower auger at completion of operation or when not in use. Auger could drop
rapidly in case of cable break or hydraulic failure (where applicable).
• Keep the work area clean and tidy.
• Do not get on or beneath auger when raising or lowering intake hitch jack, or
when auger is supported by hitch jack.
• Do not operate auger with the service or cleanout doors open or unlatched.

2.4. PTO SAFETY
• Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order.
• Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating.
• Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applica-
ble).
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Ensure the PTO driveline shields turn freely on the PTO driveline.
