7. APPENDIX
RESTARTING - STUCK AUGERS
Idle time allows grain to settle against the flighting and build up tremendous pressure. Starting
the augers will likely be difficult if the machine has been idle for two days or more.
Follow the steps below to loosen any stuck augers:
1.
Turn OFF the main disconnect switch under the bin roof. Turn ON the power supply at the
main breaker panel. Turn ON the main disconnect switch—and be ready to turn it OFF
immediately. The augers will start if the grain hasn’t packed too tightly around the flighting. If
any of the augers are stuck, turn OFF the power immediately and LOCK OUT the switch in the
OFF position.
2.
Support the beam by making a set of blocks from 2” x 6” boards (or larger). Be aware that
because a large amount of torque may be needed to loosen the augers, high torque load
damage can occur to the Stir-Rite track, to the bin wall, or to both if the beam is not properly
supported.
3.
On the stuck auger, place a pipe wrench within 18” of the lower bearing and so that the
auger can be turned CLOCKWISE (as viewed from above). See
4.
Loosen the stuck auger(s)
DO NOT TURN THE AUGER(S) COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
5.
Remove all tools from the bin and exit the bin.
6.
Turn ON the main disconnect switch and be ready to turn it OFF immediately.
See Figure 60 - The main beam MUST be supported and HELD IN POSITION.
46
NEVER TURN STIRRING AUGERS BACKWARDS (Backwards means counter-
clockwise as viewed from above). Turning the stirring augers backwards will
cause the beam to rise and the drive wheel(s) to leave the track. This could
even cause the equipment to FALL, possibly causing severe injury or death.
