boot, and hopper.

for procedure).
3. Disconnect the PTO driveline, and raise the intake hopper off the ground.
4. Remove all supports and chocks.
5. Move
auger away from the bin, and ensure that there is nothing under the
auger that would make contact when the auger tube is lowered.
6. Open the main auger tube lift valve on the boot.
7. Open the tractor supply valve for the auger, and feather between on and off
to make sure that the auger tube lowers slowly.
8. If necessary, open the clean-out door on the boot and manually clean out
grain using a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other tool. Do not use your
hands. Replace the clean-out cover.
