charged with oil before auger is put into operation. See the
appendix for charging instructions.
WARNING
Fluid leaks in the hydraulic cylinder or hose
will allow auger to lower inadvertently.
Repair all leaks and breaks immediately.

If hose valve remains open, a loss of hydraulic
pressure within in the tractor system will allow
the auger to lower inadvertently, damaging
the equipment and causing personal injury.
WARNING
Do not disconnect coupler under pressure.
Relieve pressure and then disconnect.
