AUGER BELT REPLACEMENT
FIGURE 67 AND FIGURE 68
To replace the auger belts, remove the six bolts (item
1), rotate the bearing support plate (item 2) then remove
the belts (item 3). It could be difficult to rotate the bear
-
ing support plate so use a rubber hammer to loosen the
bearing support plate and facilitate the procedure. Re-
place the belts and rotate the bearing support plate back
in place. Check the auger adjustment.

AUGER BRAKE - FIGURE 69
Set the clutch control arm to the STOP position.
Using the nuts (item 3) adjust the height of the braking
plate (item 2) so that the plate will exercise sufficient
pressure onto the belt (item 1) to stop the auger from
rotating when the Forage Blower is running after setting
the clutch control arm to the STOP position.
WARNING: Guards should be closed when the
auger brake is being tested.

AIR INTAKE CONTROL - FIGURE 70
The air intake factory setting is done by opening the
valve (item 1) approximately 3/4”and by completely clos-
ing valve (item 2), which is the general setting for the
majority of operating conditions. When required, it is rec-
ommended to open valve (item 1) completely (approx.
2”) before opening valve (item 2).
To adjust the fan air intake, turn the handles (items 1
and/or 2) located at front of the Blower. If discharge be-
comes clogged, increase air intake; if there is too much
air back flow at the auger level, decrease air intake.
