• Before moving auger, check for overhead obstructions and/or electrical wires.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens,
do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will dis-
engage the brake mechanism and will create an unsafe condition. Too much
slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound
stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully, and repair winch.
• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.
