Start the Auger
1. Plug the two (2) motors, foot switch and thermal protection cords into the bottom of the control panel
while making sure they are locked into the receptacles. Each plug is different and can only be
plugged into one receptacle to prevent accidental electric shock and/or overloads.
2. Step on the foot switch and press the “Start” button.
3. Run the auger through a “break-in” period if it is being used for the first time or for the first time of
the season.
4. “Polish” the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting
full capacity.
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load.
Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during
the “break-in” period.
NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of
time will cause excessive wear. NEVER operate the auger at speeds higher
than recommended.
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.
