Important: Always strap tubes to the support stands to prevent the tubes from rolling off the
stands.
1. Bolt tube sections together (see Figure 3.5 for details), working from the
spout end (upper tube) toward the discharge end (lower tube):
a. Align flightings to ensure a continual spiral of auger surface, and connect
flight shafts with 1/2” x 4” bolts [18947] and 1/2” locknuts [17750].
b. As flight shafts are connected, slide tube sections together and secure with
7/16'' X 1-1/4'' GR8 bolts [18698] and 7/16” locknuts [17593]. Use a single
5/8” x 2-3/4 bolt and locknut for the flange section where the two sections
of tube track meet.
