16” Backsaver Auger

STORAGE
The auger should be stored in a dry place if possible. If stored outside, lower auger to
its lowest position and block up the wheels so auger will not move.
Clean auger thoroughly as dirt draws moisture and causes metal to rust. If the auger
has been used to move fertilizer, clean thoroughly and apply oil or grease on entire
flighting and inside the housing to stop and prevent further corrosion.
At this time check all moving parts for wear and order replacement parts from your
nearest dealer.
When taking the auger out of storage, clean it thoroughly and check for obstructions at
the inlet and outlet ends.
Check all bolts and set screws.
Regularly check the tightness of all cable clamps to avoid slipping. Inspect wire rope
regularly for evidence of wear or corrosion. Such inspections should take place at
progressively shorter intervals over the useful life of the rope, as wear tends to
accelerate with use and/or age. Where wear is rapid, the outside of a wire rope will
show flattened surfaces in a short time. A piece of cloth or rag, rubbed along the wire
tope will help to reveal broken wires. The effects of corrosion are not easy to detect
because the exterior wires may appear to be only slightly rusty, and the damaging
effects of corrosion may be confined to the hidden inner wires where it cannot be seen.
To prevent damage by corrosion, the rope should be kept well lubricated. Periodic
cleaning of wire rope by using a stiff brush and kerosene or with compressed air or live
steam and relubricating will help to lengthen rope life and reduce abrasion and wear on
sheaves and drums.
