4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
Note: Use only a tractor or towing vehicle of adequate power and capacity to transport
the machine.
Follow this procedure when placing the unit into its transport position:
1. Attach the auger intake to the towing vehicle with a minimum 1/2” diameter
pin with retainer clip and safety chain.
2. Fully raise the V-frame assembly by retracting the hydraulic cylinder. For
transportation on public roadways, secure the V-frame to the auger frame to
prevent it from accidentally dropping.
3. Before transporting, disengage the over-center handle at each wheel (Figure
4.1) by pulling up on the handle.

beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious injury,

NOTICE
Ensure that the over-center bolts are tight enough to
prevent the handle from engaging. If they are not tight
enough, damage to the gears and motor will result.
