3.12. LIFT CYLINDER HYDRAULIC HOSES (111’)
Note: Right or left side of auger, as referred to in this section, is determined by standing
at intake end facing top discharge end.
• Lower fittings refer to those closer to intake end of auger.
• Upper fittings refer to those closer to discharge end of auger.
Note: Use thread sealant (not supplied) on all hydraulic connections.
1. Position both elbow fittings on right cylinder. The lower one should face
forward and downward at approximately 45°. The upper one should face
rearward and downward at approximately 45° (Figure 3.37). Make certain
they are tight.
2. Secure the solid connector end of the short (17" / 0.43 m) cylinder-connector
hydraulic hose to the lower elbow fitting.
CAUTION
Track shoe must rest against trackstop when
adjusting cable.
If this isn’t done, auger can raise higher than
designed to, resulting in damage to auger and
possible injury to personnel.
