8.3. LIFT CYLINDER HYDRAULICS (111’)
The 111' auger is elevated with 2, specially designed, double-acting hydraulic
cylinders and cables. The following table lists the psi required to raise specific
auger sizes (as determined by testing).
These tests used a hydraulic pressure gauge (4000 psi maximum rating) and are
solely intended to be used as a guide. The psi requirements for specific augers
may vary slightly. Should your auger require a significantly higher psi to raise,
contact either your dealer or Wheatheart Manufacturing.
The approximate quantity of hydraulic fluid required to raise auger is 4 liters.
8.4. HOW TO CHARGE THE LIFT SYSTEM (111’ ONLY)
The cylinders will require approximately 19 L (5 US gallons). Check your tractor’s
operation manual for correct oil type and specifications.
Before charging cylinders, ensure that:
• Tractor is correctly hooked up.
• Hydraulic hoses are connected.
• Shut-off valve is open.
• Auger is parked on level ground.
