9. Lock out the tractor and conduct a complete inspection of the auger following

the checklist on page 91.

Important:

After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and
inspected at least 3 more times during the first 10 hours of operation.

1.  Complete the checklist on page 91.
2.  Place the intake hopper in its working position.
3.  Make sure the PTO drive is in the off position when starting the tractor.
4.  Engage the PTO with the tractor idling to prevent unneeded stress on the

drive components and shear bolts.

5. If everything is operating normally, start running grain through the auger and

bring the auger up to speed. Maintain a speed of 300–540 rpm for maximum
efficiency and to reduce the chance of plugging.

• Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.

NOTICE

Do not run an empty auger at high speed; this results in
excessive wear. Do not exceed 540 RPM.

NOTICE

Foreign objects can damage the auger. Remove any
obstructions from the intake and discharge areas before
operating the unit.

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 obstruc-
tion or clean out.

• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, ser-

vice, or clean.
