The location of the cable adjustment points are shown in the accompanying
figure.
1. Lift the discharge end of the auger with a
front end loader so that the tube has a
slight upward deflection at the discharge
to give the cable some slack.
2. Tighten
the
left-side and right-side
turnbuckles and eyebolts equally to
increase the tension in the cable (use
eyebolt nuts to tighten eyebolts).
3. If the proper cable tension can’t be
obtained before the turnbuckles run out
of adjustment, then do the following:
a. Loosen the turnbuckles and eyebolts.
b. At the turnbuckles and eyebolts,
loosen the cable clamps, shorten the
cables until there is tension on the
cable, then tighten the cable clamps
fully.
c. Return to step 2.

1. If tube is not straight side-to-side:
• If the tube is curved to the left, tighten
the right-hand turnbuckle and then
loosen the left-hand turnbuckle on the
long cable.
• If the tube is curved to the right,
tighten the left-hand turnbuckle and
then loosen the right-hand turnbuckle
on the long cable.
• Check the short cable for slack and tighten as necessary (tighten eyebolt
nuts).
• After adjusting the unit side-to-side, check that the tube still has a slight
upward deflection at the discharge.
