Twin Auger Trailer Units
STORAGE
Should the machine be stored for a period of time, the machine should be thoroughly inspected
and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any
unnecessary down time the next time the machine is to be used.
Recommended procedure:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water hose or pressure washer to remove all
dirt, mud, debris, or residue.
2. Inspect all drives and moving parts. Remove any string, twine, or other material that has
become entangled in the auger knives, axles, or shafts. Be sure the components are clean
and move freely.
Danger:
Always place controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake, remove ignition key
and wait for all moving parts to stop before removing material. Failure to follow
these safety precautions can result in serious injury or death.
3. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines, couplers, and valves. Tighten any loose fittings.
Replace any hose that is cut, nicked, or abraded, separating from the crimped fitting.
4. Inspect auger and knives for damaged or broken components. Repair or replace
components as required.
5. Lubricate all grease points. Make sure all grease cavities have been filled with grease to
remove any water residue from washing.
6. Raise the conveyor to its maximum height and install the lock channel.
7. Apply grease to the exposed cylinder rams. This includes the discharge door cylinder and
the conveyor lift cylinder, if equipped.
8. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
9. Move the machine to its storage position.
10. Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris.
11. Place planks under the jack for added support if required.
12. Unhook the machine from the tractor.
13. Block the wheels on the machine.
14. If the machine is not to be used for an extended period, consider removing the scale indicator
from the machine and place in a clean and dry environment. Use the original packaging if
available. Place all weigh bars and power cords so that they will not be exposed to
weathering and/or damage.
