WARNING
Auger must be hooked up to tractor for all
operations, including transport, raising,
placement, and augering grain.
WARNING
Fluid leaks in the hydraulic cylinder or hose
will allow auger to lower inadvertently.
Repair all leaks and breaks immediately.
CAUTION
If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic
pressure within the tractor system will allow
the auger to lower inadvertently, damaging
equipment and/or causing personal injury.
WARNING
Never attempt to increase height of auger by
positioning wheels on lumber, blocks, or by
any other means. To do so will result in
damage to equipment and/or serious injury.
NOTICE
When positioning the auger, the PTO driveline must be
disconnected from the tractor and placed in the transport
saddle to prevent damage to auger and PTO driveline.
