on auger and tractor are clean and free of dirt by wiping with a cloth.
5. After connecting hydraulic hose, visually check it for leaks, binding,
flattening, kinks or wear.
Important: The 130 auger is elevated with two 4” single-acting hydraulic cylinders and
cables. The following table lists the PSI required to raise specific auger sizes as
determined by WHEATHEART testing.
These tests were conducted using a hydraulic pressure gauge (4000 PSI
maximum rating) and are solely intended to be used as a guide. The PSI require-
ments for a specific auger may vary slightly. Should your auger require a signifi-
cantly higher PSI to raise, contact either your dealer or WHEATHEART.
6. Approximate quantity of hydraulic fluid required to raise auger is as follows:
NOTICE
Dirt in the hydraulic system can damage the cylinder o-rings
causing leakage and the possible failure of the system.
