30761 R0 35
5. OPERATION WHEATHEART - SELF-PROPELLED AUGER KIT
5.2. OPERATING PROCEDURE WHEATHEART BH & R SERIES
AFTER OPERATING OR TRANSPORTING FOR 1/2 HOUR:
• Retorque all fasteners and hardware.
• Check all safety decals are installed and legible. Apply new ones if
needed.
• Check all guards are installed and working as intended.
• Retorque all wheel bolts (if applicable).
AFTER 3 HOURS:
• Change oil for best results.
AFTER 5 AND 10 HOURS:
• Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks. Tighten fittings where
required, and replace worn or damaged hoses.
• Retorque all wheel bolts (if applicable), fasteners, and hardware.
5.2. OPERATING PROCEDURE
Important: Ensure the over-center handle at each wheel is fully engaged by pushing down
on the handle at each wheel and checking that the gears fully mesh (see Section
3.6. for adjustment if necessary).
1. With the engine at idle, use the hydraulic controls (Figure 5.1, and 5.2) to
fully lower the auger with the winch control lever on the valve before moving
the auger into position.
2. Raise the auger intake end off the ground using the hydraulic ram control
lever on the valve.
3. Move the auger into place by moving the wheel move control forward or
backward to control the direction of travel. Steering is accomplished by
grasping the handle bar and either leaning in or pulling away from the auger.
Steering is easier if the auger is in motion.
4. When unloading a bin, aim the auger intake into the bottom of the center of
the bin. Use the winch control lever and hydraulic ram control lever to
help position the auger.
5. When loading a bin, use the winch control to raise the auger to the desired
height. Use the hydraulic ram control to raise the intake of the auger off the
ground as the auger is winched up. Turn the wheel move control to change
the direction of travel. Leave extra clearance for making wide turns.
Note: Refer to Section 6.1.1. for winch valve kickout adjustment, 6.1.4. for cushion
valve adjustment, and 6.1.2. for adjustment of the ram speed.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to move the auger on uneven
or hilly terrain. The mover will not perform well
under these conditions and could damage the
machine or injure the operator.

3. Inspect hoses and fittings. Replace as required.
6.1.1. HYDRAULIC WINCH VALVE
The hydraulic winch option allows the operator to safely and easily lower and
raise the auger.
The winch is equipped with a factory preset safety valve that allows the winch to
completely raise the auger, but it will stop once the auger is fully raised.
The safety valve is non-adjustable and does not require any maintenance.
The only item that an operator must inspect is the cable, and if this cable is
frayed or worn, it must be replaced.
Important: Winch speed is adjusted at the factory. Cold temperatures may cause the winch
to operate slowly.

WARNING
Winch cable must be wound onto the drum of
the winch from the top of the drum. This
ensures the safe and proper operation of the
hydraulic winch.
6.1.2. RAM SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Ram speed is regulated at the control valve. The adjustable stroke limiter screws
and lock nuts set the speed of ram travel individually in each direction (Figure
6.2).
Adjust the stroke limiter screws and lock nuts until the desired rate of travel is
achieved.
• Turning the screws in results in a slower speed.
• Turning the screws out results in a faster speed.
Figure 6.2 Three Spool Valve Adjustment
6.1.3. HYDRAULIC PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Note: Before adjusting, ensure auger is fully lowered (intake and discharge ends) and
that the auger is on a level surface.
If the controls are “jerky” or act too fast, it may be necessary to increase the
hydraulic pressure on the self-propelled auger kit. To do this, follow the steps
below (Figure 6.2).
1. Ensure auger engine is idling and that the auger flighting is disengaged
before adjusting.
2. To decrease hydraulic pressure: loosen jam nut on 3 spool valve (bottom
right side of valve) and turn adjustment screw out (counter-clockwise) 1/4
turn. Tighten jam nut.
