Note: Do not place anything under the wheels of the auger for added height.
6. Check that the valve on the cylinder hose is open to raise the auger and
closed once the auger is in position.

before using the auger to move product (Figure 3.6).
8. When operating the auger in the raised position, rest the discharge end on
the bin roof or tie it down to the bin to prevent upending or the wind fromup-
setting the auger. When operating the auger in a free-standing position,
anchor the intake end.

hopper.
Note: When raising or lowering the auger, the intake hopper must be lifted off the
ground.
