4. Tighten all hardware.
5. Connect hydraulic winch hoses to the tractor or
complete the hydraulic installation as shown in your
self-propelled auger kit manual.
6. Once hydraulic system is completed, start the
system and slowly activate the hydraulic winch valve
to take up the excess cable.
7. Check the alignment of the winch by watching the
cable wrapping on the drum as the auger is raised.
Proper alignment is achieved when the cable
indexes properly filling each row on the drum evenly
and not piling up against one side.
8. If the cable does not index properly, lower the auger
fully until there is slack in the cable. Loosen the bolts
on the winch. Adjust the winch, retighten nuts, and
retest.
WARNING
Falling auger hazard.
To prevent serious injury or death while
winching, ensure cable is fed onto the winch
drum as described, and replace cable if
frayed or damaged.
