
1. For tractors with open-center systems: idle tractor down to achieve 4-5
gpm (gallons per minute) to ensure a controlled speed.

2. For tractors with close-center systems: Ensure that the supplied plug is
installed in valve port, as shown in Figures 2.12 and 2.13. Adjust the tractor’s
output flow using the flow control lever to achieve 4-5 gpm. This will ensure a
controlled speed.

the hydraulics stay engaged all the time.

3.4. TRANSPORTING
When transporting the auger, be sure to use the provided safety chain to lock the
swing hopper to the bracket. Since the Power Swing adds more weight to the
swing hopper, extra caution is needed when transporting your auger.
Important: The INTAKE FEED side of swing hopper must face main auger when in the
transport position. Do not operate auger with hopper in transport position. This
will damage the u-joint.
Important: Read the auger operation manual for further hydraulic safety instructions.
NOTICE
Hopper must be in transport position when lowering,
raising, or moving auger.
