4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT WESTFIELD - GRAIN AUGERS
4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE MK 100/130 PLUS X 91’ - 111’
46 30260 R0
Important: The hydraulic cylinders are shipped without oil and must be charged with oil
before auger is put into operation. See the “How to Charge the Lift System” on
page 63 for charging instructions.
For MK augers with hydraulic drive intake hoppers: If your tractor is equipped
with a single hydraulic system, relieve pressure and disconnect lift hose to
connect hydraulic motor hoses.
9. Move the auger into working position slowly. Do not unhitch and attempt to
move auger by hand.
10. Once auger is in position, chock wheels on both sides and apply the park
brake on the tractor (or chock its wheels as well) to prevent movement during
operation.
11. When operating auger in the raised position, rest the discharge end lightly on
the bin roof, or tie to bin to prevent wind from toppling auger.
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
Do not disconnect coupler under pressure.
Relieve pressure and then disconnect.
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 the auger and PTO driveline.
