Service
We build quality and durability into the design of our products; but no amount of careful design by us, and careful
maintenance by you, can guarantee a repair-free life for your auger. Most repairs will be minor and easily fixed by following
the suggestions in the troubleshooting guide in this section.
The guide will help you pinpoint the causes of common problems and identify remedies.
A parts catalogue is included in this section.
