SWINGING INTAKE AUGER ATTACHMENT
SIA Brake Tension
A brake lever adjusts the hold and horizontal position of the swinging intake
auger attachment. The brake mechanism consists of a cam-type lever-activated
mechanism which is connected to a band around the attachment pivot. An
adjustment bolt on the opposite end of the lever can be turned in to tighten, or
out to loosen the band around the pivot. The bolt should be adjusted so when
the brake lever is at a right angle to the pivot, there is no binding or restriction
when the auger is swung. When the brake lever is straight out, there should be
tight clamping around the pivot and the auger is firmly held in place.
SIA Counterbalance Spring Tension
The Swinging Intake Auger (SIA) attachment is spring
counterbalanced to facilitate lifting the attachment. There are
multiple holes in the spring attachment bracket to select the
appropriate SIA lift tension. The spring should provide enough
tension to conveniently raise the SIA and still allow the SIA to
remain stationary when the intake hopper end is lowered to the
ground.
ADJUSTMENTS
-30-
MILL SCREEN COVER LATCHES
Over-center handle latches are used to secure the mill cover tightly
closed while the mill is being operated.
Lock nuts on the bolts of the latches are used to adjust latching
tension. This tension should be adjusted and maintained so that
some force has to be applied on the handles to lock and unlock
them. Both latch mechanisms should be adjusted equally.
TANK LID
The tank lid on top of the mixing tank is designed to be self-
unlatching in the event that the mixing tank accidentally becomes
overfilled. The latching mechanism should be properly adjusted by
the latch nut to maintain proper tension on the lid to keep it closed
and weather-tight, but still allow it to be forced open from the inside
of the tank by overflowing material. If the latch handle can be pulled
straight up approximately ½” (12 mm), completely compressing the
spring, tension is correct.
IMPORTANT:
The latch springs should never be completely
compressed when the handle is all the way down or the lid will not
open during over filling.
