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 42.
2. Place and secure hitch pin and safety chain. The safety chain should be
threaded through handle on the lower tube and wrapped around auger tube
before attaching to the towing vehicle.
Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) that will not allow auger to separate from
towing vehicle.
3. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor and secure in transport saddle.

SD augers have minimum clearances of 13’0” to 15’6” (3.96 m to 4.72 m) in
normal transport position.
