Trouble
Possible Cause
Possible Remedy
Auger will not return to down position or
move from stow position
Faulty check valve
Replace check valve
Faulty lock and load solenoid
Disconnect power to lock and load. If the auger is
able to move, the lock and load solenoid needs to be
replaced
Upper flighting and lower flighting are
locked together
Bearing on top of upper auger flighting needs
adjusting. When the auger is in the engaged position,
there must be 1/8” (0,32cm) gap between bottom of top
bearing and top of upper tube housing (See “Adjusting
the Lower and Upper Flighting” on page 18)
Feed gate open
Close the feed gate
Lock and Load not operating correctly Make sure the limit switch on the feed gate indicator
assembly is functioning properly
Hanger bushing assembly at the top of the
lower auger flighting is hot
Top of the hanger bushing assembly is
rubbing against the drive dog
Loosen the two bolts and re-adjust the position of the
hanger bushing assembly. Re-tighten bolts.
Remove the lower flighting assembly and place a shim
between the spline coupler and the gearbox.
Excessive vibration
Auger flighting or shaft is bent
Straighten or replace auger flighting.
Drive shaft is bent
Replace or straighten drive shaft.
Grain flow stoppage
Bolt sheared in drive dog
Replace bolt in drive dog. Engage upper and lower
flighting at a slow rate of speed. (Drive dogs and lugs
are being engaged too fast.)
Folding auger before complete stop
Upper and lower flightings are disengaging before au-
ger comes to a complete stop. Replace bolt in the drive
dog. Never engage or disengage the upper and lower
flightings until the augers come to a complete stop.
PTO key sheared
Replace key and tighten set screw.
Rear auger disconnect disengaged
Engage rear auger disconnect
Auger tube is breaking away from the grain
cart at the hinge area or the ram in the hy-
draulic folding cylinder is bent
Upper auger is extended in the
upright position while traveling in the
field
Repair or place folding cylinder if necessary. Remember
to lower auger to the field position after unloading.
Flip-up auger rest not flipping over center
Cable has loosened
With auger in field position, tighten cable to the handle.
Feed gate indicator not moving
Debris lodged in feed gate
Make sure indicator slider moves freely and feed gate is
clear of debris
