3. Assembly
3.1. PRE-ASSEMBLY
Before beginning assembly, familiarize yourself with all the sub-assemblies and
hardware making up the auger. Have all parts on hand and arrange them for
easy access. Carry out assembly in a large open area with a level surface.
Important: Always have 2 or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.

Augers are available in various combinations. In most cases, the following
instructions will apply to all augers. Where the assembly information varies,
additional instructions will be included and will be indicated with an arrow.
3.2. TUBES & FLIGHTING
1. Position tube sections. Align tube sections on a flat surface or on a series of
benches.
Note: When assembling more than 2 sections, start from spout end and work towards
hopper.
2. Slide lower flight shaft onto upper flight shaft until flight ends butt together
and flighting spiral matches up. Secure with two 5/8” x 4-1/2” grade 8 bolts
and locknuts (Figure 3.1). Repeat, if necessary, for any remaining flight
shafts.
