Operation - 1684, 16104, 16124 Backsaver Auger
26
Break - In Checklist
Note:
The break-in period is different from normal
operating conditions.
The tube and flighting must get a polished surface
through use. Once the new auger has polished it
will run smooth at recommended speed.
Note:
Never operate an empty auger for over one
minute, as the flighting and housing will
experience excessive wear.
During the break-in-period:
1. Run the tractor at slow idle until grain begins to
flow from the discharge. For the first 500 bushels,
operate at the slow speed and restrict the flow of
grain at the intake.
2. Gradually increase the speed until operating at full
PTO speed.
Note: Do not run empty during break-in period.
