This section covers only basic auger operations.
For specific tasks, see:
“Loading Materials” on page 54, and
“Unloading Materials” on page 65.
Latch the auger into its cradles and pin the arm pivots,
whenever the auger is not in use. There are several
items that require attention during auger deployment and
storage:
Refer to Figure 54
To avoid auger damage during drill movement, use all pro-
vided latches and pins, and orient auger tube/inlet correctly
when stowing.
Deploying Auger
The back (inlet) end of the auger has grasp handles.
When empty of material this end of the auger also tends
to be heavier. Start unlatching at the front end.
Refer to Figure 55
1.
Squeeze the lock lever . Pull out on the clamp
latch and free the strap from the U-bolt.
2. Remove the rear arm pin . Pull the auger free of
the rests.
Refer to Figure 56
3.
Set either interconnected auger hydraulic motor
direction control handle
to OFF (the center of han-
dle travel). This prevents unexpected auger opera-
tion when the circuit is selected and energized.
4. Pull the auger tube swivel pin forward.
5. Rotate the top of the auger tube outward, so that the
auger outlet faces down.
6. If deploying the auger for material loading, push in
on the arm height pin
, lift the arm, and re-seat the
pin in the alternate plate cut-out, holding arm ele-
vated above the storage height.
Note: For material unloading, leave the arm pinned at the
storage height unless it needs to be lowered for the
unloading operation.
