Operation - 10" Backsaver Auger
Break - In Checklist
NOTE: The Backsaver Auger must have a break-in
period with different operating conditions than
for normal use.
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.
Check the following mechanical items after 1 hour of
operation and again after 10 hours of operation:
1. Check the auger hitch for damaged, loose or
missing parts. Repair as needed before operation.
2. Check for loose fasteners and hardware. Tighten
as required.
3. Make sure that all guards and shields are in place,
secured and functioning as designed
4. Check that the PTO driveline telescopes easily and
turns freely.
5. Check condition of all hydraulic components for
leaks. Tighten fittings to correct leaks or replace
components. Do not operate with hydraulic leaks.
6. Check tire pressure. Inflate per manufacturer’s
specification.
7. Check gearbox oil level. Fill as required. (See
“LUBRICATION” on page 89.)
8. Check the augers. Remove any debris.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
• Disengage the PTO, engage the machine’s parking
brake, stop the engine and make sure all rotating
components are completely stopped before
connecting, disconnecting, adjusting or cleaning
any PTO driven equipment.
• Always keep PTO shields and all guards in place
when using PTO driven equipment.
• Disengage PTO for road travel.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away.
