After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and

inspected at least three more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
Keep operation of empty auger to a minimum, as this results in excessive wear.
Once auger is broken in, the checklist should be a part of the daily routine before

operating auger.

1. When operating the auger, always work with a second person in a position to

monitor the operation and initiate a shutdown in case of emergency.

2. Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.
3. Shut off all power before making adjustments, servicing, or clearing the

machine.

DANGER

Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:

• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting

guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good

working order. Have replaced if damaged.

• Do not operate the auger without all

guards, doors, and covers in place.

• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a

stick or other tool to remove an obstruc-

tion or clean out.

• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, ser-

vice, or clean.

USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS

: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the

large capacity of some augers. Some augers plug, causing damage to the

flighting and other drive components. This type of damage is not covered by

warranty. Hints on how to avoid this...

• Get a larger spreader, if available.
• Remove the spreader.
• Make sure spreader is turned on.

• Center auger spout on spreader.
• Do not lower auger spout into spreader.
• Suspend the spreader from bin ceiling leaving extra room for excess

grain to flow over the spreader.

BIN LEVEL INDICATORS

: These augers are fast and bins fill up quickly. A

full bin will cause auger to plug, which can damage the flighting and other

drive components. Installing quality grain-level indicators on your bins will

allow you to monitor bin filling and help prevent damage to your auger.
