Auger Connector Installation

(50479) Auger Connector

1.Before stretching, allow the 

Auger to relax to its free 

length.

2.Cut the Auger and file the end 

smooth so that there are no 

sharp edges.

3.Screw the Auger Connector 

into one end of the Auger. 

Feed the Auger into second 

groove of the Auger 

Connector as shown in Figure 

below.

4.Untwist the other end of the 

Auger 1-1/2 turns so that when 

it is threaded into the other end 

of the Auger it will return to 

the relaxed state. Auger ends 

must be overlapped—Not 

Butted, when threaded into the 

track of Connector.

5.Stretch the Auger and twist the 

Auger ends together. Both 

ends of the Auger should be even with the end of the Connector, as shown below.

6.Tighten each Set Screw until it touches the Auger. Then tighten 1/2 turn. If Auger can be unscrewed by hand 

then tighten an additional 1/4 turn. DO NOT TIGHTEN MORE THAN 3/4 TURN.

7.File both ends of the Auger so that they are the same diameter as the rest of the Auger.

(48401) Auger Connector

1.Screw the end of the Auger into the Auger Connector until it reaches the Stop in the Auger Connector.
2.Untwist the other end of the Auger 1-1/2 turns so that when it is threaded into the other end of the Auger it 

will return to the relaxed state.

3.Stretch the Auger and twist the Auger ends together. Both ends of the Auger should be even with the 

Connector Stop as 

shown

.

4.Tighten the Connector Bolt to a maximum of 250-300 in-lbs. 

21-25 ft-lbs

. When the Connector Bolt is tight 

there will be no gap between connector halves 

as shown

.

5.File both ends of the Auger so that they are the same diameter as the rest of the Auger.
