3.12. Discharge Spout
Some augers are equipped with weld-on discharge spouts.
Attach discharge spout with half tube clamps and 7/16” x 1-3/4” bolts and locknuts as
required.
If a safety spout is being used with this auger, the safety release door should be on the
left side of the auger, as determined when standing at intake facing the discharge end.
3.13. Truss
See Figure 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and 3.15.
1. Fasten lower truss anchor to bracket.
• use two 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts.
• On 6" x 61' augers, fasten lower truss anchor to 10' lower tube section (see Fig-
ure 3.14 for location).
2. Fasten the center truss support bracket on 46’ and 51’ augers with two
7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts (Figure 3.13).
• The 56’ and 61’ augers require 2 center truss support brackets, each fastened
with two 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts.
• The 6" x 61' augers require 3 center truss support brackets, each fastened with
two 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts.
• The 71’ auger requires a high truss support center bracket located between the 2
standard support brackets. Fasten with two 7/16” x 1" bolts and locknuts (Figure
3.14).
3. Attach eyebolt to one end of truss cable with two 5/16” cable clamps. Insert eyebolt
into lower truss anchor and thread on nut a short way.
Important:
On the 8” x 56’ augers, the truss cable must be threaded through the reach-arm bracket
as shown in Figure 3.12 and then attached to the eyebolts at the lower truss anchor.
4. Pull truss cable over truss support brackets, around upper truss anchor and back
over truss support brackets to lower truss anchor, holding it loosely in place with one
5/16” cable clamp at upper truss anchor, and two 5/16” cable clamps at each truss
support bracket.
Important:
Do not tighten cable clamps at this time.
5. The upper end of augers equipped with truss cables should have an upward bow
before being placed on the transport undercarriage (auger tube will straighten when
fully assembled). Place supports under the discharge end until upward bow is
correct.
• The upward bow should be about 2” (5.01 cm) on the 46’ and 51’, 3” (7.62 cm) on
the 56’ and 61’, and 5” (12.7 cm) on the 71’ auger.
6. Place other eyebolt onto lower truss anchor and thread on nut a short way.
7. Insert other end of truss cable through this eyebolt. Pull out all slack and secure with
a cable clamp.
