4.3.2. PTO DRIVE
Correct operation of the Wheatheart SA auger requires pre-inspection of the
drive system, operator knowledge on how to shut down the system, and a
general monitoring of the system during operation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Before starting the auger, ensure that:
• The PTO driveline is securely attached to the auger shaft and to the tractor.
• The PTO driveline rotating shield is in place and in good working order.
• The PTO does not exceed the maximum operating angle of 15°.
• All safety shields are in place and secure on both the tractor and the auger.
• The PTO drive on the tractor is in the off position before starting the tractor.
• The auger-to-tractor PTO hookup distances are set as specified in the decal
on the PTO shield of the auger.
• Everyone is clear of the PTO hazard area.
Note: If shear bolt in the PTO driveline fails, shut down and lock out the tractor to
replace the bolt. Use a 5/16” x 1” GR 8 bolt. Ensure the shear point is through
the shank of the bolt, not the threads.
LOCKOUT
1. Shut down the tractor and remove the ignition key or coil wire.
2. If step 1 is not possible, remove the PTO driveline from the tractor.
4.3.3. HYDRAULICS
Before using the hydraulics, ensure that:
• The quick connect couplers on both the auger and the tractor are clean and
free of dirt. Wipe the couplers with a clean, dry cloth.
• The hydraulic hoses are properly connected and secured; are free of leaks,
wear, and binding; and are routed away from moving parts.
• Hydraulic pressure has been relieved prior to disconnecting.
