SAFETY

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but
also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program.
Be certain that everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the recommended
operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most
accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.

The alert symbol is used throughout this manual. It indicates attention is required and
identifies hazards. Follow the recommended precautions.

The safety alert symbol means…

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

The caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

The Warning Symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

DANGER

The Danger Symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided will
result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be
guarded.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. All assembly is done with the auger fully lowered.

2. Remove the standard wheel brackets from the front of the hopper and replace
with hydraulic wheel brackets (#1 & #2). These brackets are left and right. One
side of the wheel bracket is ¼” wider than the other edge. The wide edge on
both brackets must be turned to the outside of the hopper. Use the same
hardware from the standard brackets to mount the hydraulic brackets.

3. Connect the inside ports on the two hydraulic motors using the 54” (10”) or 60”
(13”) hydraulic hose (#26).

4. Attach the 84” hydraulic hoses to the outside ports on the two hydraulic motors.
The other end of these hoses connects to the two top ports on the valve
assembly. Bolt on the clamp for the valve assembly after assembling hoses.

5. Fit one hose clamp between the hydraulic motors and the valve assembly. A
second hose clamp bolts between the safety decals on the upper part of the
tube. The decals should still be readable with the clamp in place.

6. The long hoses connect the valve to the tractor.

7. The mover is activated by moving the lever on the valve assembly in either
direction (left or right).

ALERT: The hopper may move quite quickly with some tractors. Be sure
everyone is clear of the area when using the mover.
