5/8” x 2” GR8 bolts and locknuts.

5. Slide the cylinder rod guide onto the end of the track closest to where the lift
cylinders install.
Note:
The hydraulic lift cylinders must be positioned with the rod end towards the
discharge end of auger.
6. For each hydraulic cylinder:
a. Use forklift to lift the rear end of the cylinder and position it at a rear
cylinder attach bracket. Insert a hydraulic cylinder pin into the hole, and
secure with a 7/16” x 3-1/2” bolt and locknut. Tighten securely.
b. Use the forklift to lift and support the front end of the cylinder in place on a
front cylinder mount, and adjust the front cylinder attach bracket and half
clamp to align with the bolt boles in the front cylinder mounts.
c. Fasten the front cylinder attach bracket to the front cylinder mount using
four 5/8” x 2” bolts and locknuts.
d. Tighten the four 1/2” x 1-3/4” bolts and locknuts that fasten the cylinder
attach bracket and half clamp together.
6. Slide the cylinder rod guide toward the lift cylinders until the rod ends pass
through the two holes provided on the cylinder ram guide, and then secure
with a 1/2” X 1-1/2” bolt and a 1/2” locknut to prevent separation of rods and
cylinder arm guide.
