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 (the swing arm
spout head access hatch is shown below), 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. G RAIN H OPPER
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.
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 1.5).
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.
