4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
Follow all safety precautions when transporting the auger and use a proper
towing vehicle.
1. If auger is raised, place in full down position. The roller track shoe should be
seated against the upper track stop with slight tension on the lift cable. Refer
to “Lowering & Completion” on page 44.
Important: The winch must have a minimum of 3 wraps of cable on drum when auger is in
transport position.
2. Lock winch: turn handle clockwise until 2 clicks are heard.
3. Place and secure hitch pin and safety chain. The safety chain should be
threaded though handle on the lower tube and wrapped around auger tube
before attaching to the towing vehicle (Figure 4.1).

Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) that will not allow auger to separate from

the beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious
injury, death, or property damage.
