Transport & Placement Warning: Before continuing, please reread the safety information relevant to this section at the beginning of this manual. Failure to follow the safety instructions can result in serious injury, death, or property damage. DANGER Electrocution hazard: • This auger is not insulated. • Keep auger away from overhead power lines and devices.
3. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT 3.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE WHEATHEART - SA AUGERS SA 1061, 1071, 1081, 1091, 1371, 1381, 1391 6. Open the hose valve and then use the tractor valve to lower the auger. Feather the lever to prevent too rapid a descent. Lower the auger until the transport brace is fully seated (Figure 3.1). 7. Raise intake feed hopper into transport position and secure with saddle pin and hairpin (Figure 3.2). a. Lock in transport position with the handle on the side of the hopper. b.

When not in use, store the safety chain in a clean, dry place. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched, or otherwise damaged or deformed (Figure 3.3). WARNING Maximum transport speed: Do not transport faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or faster than road conditions allow.
3. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT 3.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE Note: WHEATHEART - SA AUGERS SA 1061, 1071, 1081, 1091, 1371, 1381, 1391 Do not place anything under the wheels of the auger for added height. 6. Check that the valve on the cylinder hose is open to raise the auger and closed once the auger is in position. 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. Note: 7.
