3.11. WINCH ASSEMBLY
1. Lower auger completely and remove the hand winch on the lower auger
frame.
2. Place the winch on the frame as shown in Figure 3.13 using the
measurements in Table 3.3.
Important: The hydraulic winch position should be adjusted until the drum is 1” away from
the auger tube when in transport position. On Wheatheart models, use Table 3.3
to position winch.
3. Attach 2 u-bolts to frame and secure to hydraulic winch. Do not tighten.
4. Angle the winch so it lines up with the cable wrapping around the track roller.
Tighten all nuts.
3.11.1. WINCH ALIGNMENT
To check the alignment of the winch, watch the cable wrapping on the drum as
the auger is raised. Proper alignment is achieved when the cable indexes
properly, meaning that it fills each row on the drum evenly and does not pile up
against one side.
