WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 1. INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Wheatheart grain auger. Before using, please read this manual and understand the various features of the equipment and precautions for efficient and safe operation. Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to review with new personnel. A sign-off form is supplied on the inside front cover to record your safety reviews.
1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 1.1. OVERVIEW X160 augers are equipped with the following standard features: • • • • • • • a high-capacity grain transfer boot a PTO driveline for auger power.
WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1.1. GRAIN TRANSFER BOOT AND PTO DRIVELINE The grain transfer boot is located at the bottom of the main auger tube, and contains gearing for power transfer as well as flights for transferring grain. The power source for the auger is a standard 1000 RPM tractor PTO. The PTO driveline connections (both forward and reverse directions) are located on the speed reducer gearbox above the tractor hitch.
1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 1.1.2. GRAIN HOPPER The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles (see “Connect the Intake Hopper to the Swing Tube” on page 83).

1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 1.1.3. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT The auger tube is raised and lowered using single-acting hydraulic cylinders powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to retract. (see Figure 1.5).

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION The Safety Alert symbol identifies important safety messages on the product and in the manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury or death. Follow the instructions in the safety messages. Why is SAFETY important? • Accidents disable and kill. • Accidents cost. • Accidents can be avoided.
2. SAFETY WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your equipment. YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to work around the equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information contained in this manual. Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around you. Makethese practices a working part of your safety program.
WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 2. SAFETY 2.3. OPERATION SAFETY • Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the auger in case of accident. Always work with a second trained person around augers. • Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed. • Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from intake during operation. • Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged.

WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 2. SAFETY 2.4. PTO SAFETY • Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order. • Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating. • Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applicable). • Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline. • Ensure the PTO driveline shields turn freely on the PTO driveline. • Do not exceed PTO operating speed of 1000 rpm.
2. SAFETY WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 2.6. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY • Transport auger in full down position with slight tension on cable. • Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow auger to separate from towing vehicle. • Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the necessary lights for transportation where required by law.
WHEATHEART - GRAIN AUGERS X160-85, X160-105, X160-125 2. SAFETY • Use only genuine Wheatheart replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement parts such as intake guards, pulley guards, PTO driveline shields, winches, and lift cables must meet ASABE standards or serious injury may result. Use of unauthorized parts will void warranty. If in doubt, contact Wheatheart or your Wheatheart dealer. • Do not modify any auger components without authorization from Wheatheart.
