DJUSTMENT
Ram speed is regulated at the control valve. The adjustable stroke limiter screws
and lock nuts set the speed of ram travel individually in each direction (Figure
6.2).
Adjust the stroke limiter screws and lock nuts until the desired rate of travel is
achieved.
• Turning the screws in results in a slower speed.
• Turning the screws out results in a faster speed.

DJUSTMENT
Note: Before adjusting, ensure auger is fully lowered (intake and discharge ends) and
that the auger is on a level surface.
If the controls are “jerky” or act too fast, it may be necessary to increase the
hydraulic pressure on the self-propelled auger kit. To do this, follow the steps
below (Figure 6.2).
1. Ensure auger engine is idling and that the auger flighting is disengaged
before adjusting.
2. To decrease hydraulic pressure: loosen jam nut on 3 spool valve (bottom
right side of valve) and turn adjustment screw out (counter-clockwise) 1/4
turn. Tighten jam nut.
WARNING
Winch cable must be wound onto the drum of
the winch from the top of the drum. This
ensures the safe and proper operation of the
hydraulic winch.
