7. Move the auger into working position slowly. Do not unhitch and attempt to
move auger by hand.
8. Once auger is in position, chock wheels on both sides and apply the park
brake on the tractor (or chock its wheels as well) to prevent movement during
operation.
9. Fully lower hopper to the ground and remove lift cable from the hopper. See
“Lowering & Completion” on page 86 for the correct lowering procedure.

CAUTION
If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic
pressure within in the tractor system will allow
the auger to lower inadvertently, damaging
the equipment and causing personal injury.
WARNING
Do not disconnect coupler under pressure.
Relieve pressure and then disconnect.
CAUTION
Do not use auger as a hoist to raise any object
regardless of weight. This will create an
unsafe condition and will void warranty.
