PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL 2.3. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
2.3. 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 . Always use hazard warning flashers on the
tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless
prohibited by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15
mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces
and be cautious when turning corners or meeting
traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make
sure the area around the auger is clear of obstructions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow anyone to stand on or beneath auger while
transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or lowering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so
will result in serious injury.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens,
do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will disengage the brake mechanism and create an unsafe condition. Too much
slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly.
• The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound
stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully, and repair winch.
• After lowering auger, turn handle clockwise two clicks to lock winch brake.
• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.
• The winch is designed for manual operation only.
2.4. 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 p art s. Stay away from intake
during operation.

PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL 4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
4.Transport & Placement
4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
Follow all safety precautions when transporting the auger and use a proper
towing vehicle.
1. If auger is raised, place in full down position. The roller track shoe should be
seated against the upper track stop with slight tension on the lift cable. Refer
to “Lowering & Completion” on page 48.
2. Lock winch: turn handle clockwise until 2 clicks are heard.
Important: The winch must have a minimum of 3 wraps of cable on drum when auger is in
transport position.
3. Place and secure hitch pin and safety chain. The safety chain should be
threaded though handle on the lower tube and wrapped around auger tube
before attaching to the towing vehicle (Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1
Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) that will not allow auger to separate from
towing vehicle.
WARNING
If auger wheels are partially or fully buried in
snow or grain, failure to clear area around the
wheels before moving may cause damage to
the auger or result in serious injury.

4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS
4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL
4. Beware of overhead obstructions and electrical wires and devices. The PTOSD augers have minimum clearances from 9' (2.74 m) to 15'6" (4.72 m) in
normal transport position.
5. Refer to “Transport & Placement Safety” on page 11 for important safety
information before towing.
4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Ensure towing hitch is in place and secure.
Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) that will not allow auger to separate from
towing vehicle.
2. Before raising or positioning auger, make sure that entire area in line of
travel, both on the ground and overhead, is clear of any obstructions or
electrical wires.
WARNING
If auger wheels are partially or fully buried in
snow or grain, failure to clear the area around
the wheels before moving may cause damage
to the auger or result in serious injury.
3. Ensure auger is on reasonably level ground when raising, lowering, or
positioning.
Note: Make certain cable is properly seated in cable groove before raising auger. Refer
to Figure 3.25.
4. To raise auger, turn winch handle clockwise. Use a firm grip on winch handle;
do not release unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged.
NOTICE
Do not turn winch handle counter-clockwise except when
lowering auger or severe damage to winch will occur.
Important: Winch must make clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking stops, retain grip
on handle, lower auger fully, and repair ratchet.
Note: The PTO driveline is a non-separable type. Remove from tractor and secure in
transport saddle on auger before moving tractor away from auger.
5. Move the auger into working position slowly. Do not unhitch and attempt to
move auger by hand.
WARNING
Never attempt to increase height of auger by
positioning wheels on number, blocks, or by
any other means. To do so will result in
damage to equipment and/or personal injury.

WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS 4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT
PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL 4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE
6. Once auger is in position, chock wheels on both sides and apply the park
brake on the tractor (or chock its wheels as well) to prevent movement during
operation.
Important: When releasing auger from the towing vehicle, test the intake end for downward
weight. Do not raise the intake end above drawbar height. When the intake end
is elevated too high with auger in raised position, the balance of weight quickly
transfers to the discharge end, causing it to upend. Ensure proper anchoring/
support.
7. When operating auger in the raised position, rest the discharge end lightly on
the bin roof, or tie to bin to prevent wind from toppling auger. When operating
the auger in a freestanding position, anchor the intake end.
8. Anchor and/or support auger during operation.
• When lower half of auger empties of grain, the weight balance transfers
to upper end of auger, which can cause upending.
9. See “Operation” on page 45 for correct lowering procedure.
CAUTION
Do not use auger as a hoist to raise any object
regardless of weight. This will create an
unsafe condition and will void warranty.

5. OPERATION WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS
5.3. OPERATION PROCEDURE PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL
5.3. OPERATION PROCEDURE
5.3.1. START-UP & BREAK-IN
1. Properly place auger and complete the pre-operational checklist at the
beginning of this chapter. If everything is satisfactory, prepare for a 30-minute
operation at half speed.
2. Correctly position portable grain hopper secure it to the auger with both
straps (where applicable).
Important: Anchoring and/or support auger during operation. When lower half of auger
empties of grain, the weight balance transfers to the upper end of auger, which
can cause upending.
CAUTION
Do not start auger until area is clear of all
unauthorized personnel.
Do not exceed 540 rpm on the PTO.
3. Start tractor and engage PTO driveline, then feed grain to auger. If auger
functions normally, check at varying speeds for a period of 30 minutes.
Important: When starting auger for the first time, be prepared for an emergency shutdown in
case of excessive vibration or noise. Note that auger may run rough until tube is
polished.
4. Upon completion of initial run, shut down auger (see “Shutdown” on page 47
for further instruction).
5. Lock out tractor and conduct a complete inspection of auger following the
checklist at the beginning of this chapter.
After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and
inspected at least three more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
Keep operation of empty auger to a minimum, as this results in excessive wear.
Once auger is broken in, the checklist should be a part of the daily routine before
operating auger.
5.3.2. OPERATING WITH A FULL LOAD
1. When operating the auger , always work with a second person in a position to
monitor the operation and initiate a shutdown in case of emergency.
2. Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.
3. Shut off all power before making adjustments, servicing, or clearing the
machine.
46 30641 R1
WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS 5. OPERATION
USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the large
capacity of some augers. Some augers plug, causing damage to the flighting
and other drive components. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
Hints on how to avoid this...
• Get a larger spreader, if available.
• Remove the spreader.
• Make sure spreader is turned on.
• Center auger spout on spreader.
• Do not lower auger spout into spreader.
• Suspend the spreader from bin ceiling leaving extra room for excess
grain to flow over the spreader.
BIN LEVEL INDICATORS: These augers are fast and bins fill up quickly. A full
bin will cause auger to plug, which can damage the flighting and other drive
components. Installing quality grain-level indicators on your bins will allow you to
monitor bin filling and help prevent damage to your auger.
PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL 5.3. OPERATION PROCEDURE
DANGER
Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting
guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good
working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• Do not operate the auger without all
guards, doors, and covers in place.
• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a
stick or other tool to remove an obstruction or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
5.3.3. SHUTDOWN
NORMAL SHUTDOWN:
1. Near the end of a load, decrease auger speed until all grain is clear of
machine.
2. When auger is clear of grain, disengage PTO drive.
3. Shut down and lock out tractor.
EMERGENCY / FULL-TUBE RESTART:
1. If the auger is shut down for an emergency, lock out tractor before correcting
the problem.
30641 R1 47
5. OPERATION WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS
LOWERING
1. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before lowering.
2. Ensure area beneath auger is clear.
3. Turn winch counterclockwise to lower (there will be no clicking sound when
lowering).
4. After lowering, turn handle clockwise until you hear 2 clicks to lock brake.
• Use a firm grip on handle. Do not release unless the ratchet pawl is fully
engaged.
• The winch is designed for manual operation only.
• When lowering, never continue to turn handle counterclockwise if the
cable does not keep moving out under load. This will disengage the
brake mechanism and create an unsafe condition. If this happens, winch
in slack cable and correct problem.
Do not leave auger in raised position when not in use. Auger could drop rapidly
due to a cable break. High winds may also upset auger.
5.3. OPERATION PROCEDURE PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL
• If the problem is plugging, clear as much of the grain as possible using a
piece of wood, wet/dry vac, or other tool before restarting auger. Do not
reach in and use your hands even if the tractor has been locked out.
2. If auger tube is full of grain, do not restart at full speed. Engage PTO at low
rpm, gradually increasing power until normal operating speed is reached.
NOTICE
Starting the auger when there is grain blockage will result in
damage.
5.3.4. LOWERING & COMPLETION
After operation:
1. Clean entire work area.
2. Remove all supports and chocks.
3. Move auger out of working position and lower fully (see shaded box that
follows for lowering procedure).
4. Move auger to the next work area or to a storage area and then clean out.
48 30641 R1
5. Clean out auger.
a. Shut off tractor engine and lock out power.
b. Manually clean out grain with a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other
tool. Do not use hands.
c. If auger has been used to transport fertilizer, it should be cleaned out to
prevent corrosion. The easiest way to prevent corrosion is to run a load of
grain through it after transporting fertilizer.
6. Prepare for transport and placement or storage (see appropriate chapters for
more information).
