Auger Operations
Electrocution Hazard:
Keep clear of overhead power lines when positioning auger.
The auger can reach 15 feet (4.6m) above ground level during
positioning operations. If it contacts a power line, nearly all
metal parts of the cart, tractor and drill will have lethal
voltage present, and anyone touching them can complete the
circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury or death. With
very high voltages, electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
This section covers only basic auger operations. For
specific tasks, see:
“Unloading the Cart” on page 47, and
“Loading Material” on page 44.
Latch the auger into its cradles and pin the arm pivots,
whenever the auger is not in use.
To avoid auger damage during cart movement,
do not rely solely on the arm pins to secure the auger in the
stored configuration. Use the latches.
Deploying Auger
The back (inlet) end of the auger has grasp handles.
When empty of material this end of the auger also tends
to be heavier. Start unlatching at the front end.
Refer to Figure 35
1.
Squeeze the lock lever . Pull out on the front clamp
latch and free the strap from the U-bolt. Raise the
U-bolt , then the latch handle, so the auger tube
will clear it.
Refer to Figure 34 and Figure 36
2.
Use the pin levers to withdraw both arm pins ,
and hold them in the withdrawn configuration.
Refer to Figure 34
3.
Hold a grasp handle near the auger inlet hopper.
4. Release and clear rear clamp latch and strap.
5. Pull the auger away from the cart and set the inlet
end on the ground.
