16” Backsaver Auger
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.
ALERT: When the intake auger is raised from working position, the lift cable is
hooked into the loop at the top of the hopper. The open end of the hook must be
turned toward the hopper. The intake auger could detach and fall if the main
auger is raised with the hook turned the other way.
22. Pages 40 & 41. The hydraulic line on the auger must be coupled at the pipe
rings between tube number 1 and tube number 2 using a 63” hydraulic hose
(#21). Screw a 90 degree elbow (#25) into the ball valve (#26) and connect this
assembly to the bottom of the hydraulic line. Attach a 120” hydraulic hose (#24)
to this elbow. The other end of the hose connects to the tractor.
23. Connect the 8’-6” hydraulic hose (page 40, #15) with the assembled 12” lines
and fittings from the base of the cylinders to the hydraulic line on the main auger.
All fittings should be taken apart and sealed with Teflon tape before tightening.
Install the two vent plugs (page 32, #42) in the cylinders.
ALERT: The flow control valve (page 40, #16) regulates the lowering of the
auger to avoid damage which could be caused by lowering the auger too quickly.
Arrow on the flow control should be pointing toward the 6 foot hose. Be sure that
the valve is open approximately 3 ½ turns before raising the auger to full height
or the auger will not lower.
24. Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the two spool valve assembly (#1).
There are two #12 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#7) in the side ports. With the
valve turned as shown on page 31, fit two #10 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#8)
in the right hand ports on top of the valve. The left hand ports which control the
mover use adaptors with a restrictor valve (#28).
25.
Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the hydraulic motors (#10). The upper
port on the motor uses a #12 MORB straight adaptor (#7) while the lower port
uses a 90 degree #12 MORB adaptor (#6). The two straight adaptors are joined
using a 79” hose (#3). Two 21 foot hoses (#2) attach to the 90 degree elbows on
the hydraulic motor. They run up between the motor and the hopper and along
the intake auger tube till the right side ports, on top of the valve (as shown).
These lines are clamped down to the top of the intake auger tube using hose
holders (page 35, #31) with 3/8” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The
hopper mover is controlled by the valve handle which lines up with the two ports
the hoses are attached to in the valve.
ALERT: The hopper mover may move quite quickly with some tractors. Be sure
everyone is clear of the area when using the mover.
