3. Remove all wheel chocks.
4. Raise
the intake hopper off the ground.

Warning: Before continuing, please reread the safety information relevant to this section at
the beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious
injury, death, or property damage.
DANGER
Electrocution hazard:
• This auger is not insulated.
• Keep auger away from overhead power
lines and devices.
• Electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
• Fully lower auger before moving.
Electrocution will result in serious injury or
death.
NOTICE
Empty the auger before transporting. Transporting a full
auger will place excessive loads on the tube assembly,
frame, axle assembly, hitch, and towing unit.
If auger wheels are partially or fully buried in snow or grain,
do not attempt to move auger until snow or grain has been
cleared away from auger wheels.
CAUTION
Failure to secure the unit prior to transporting
could cause a serious hazard to the
occupants of the towing vehicle or other
vehicles.
