Note:
The angle drive on the standard intake hopper requires a break-in period of at
least 2 or 3 loads of grain.
1. Ensure auger is properly placed and complete the pre-operational checklist.
If everything is satisfactory, prepare for one hour of operation at half speed.
2. Correctly position intake hopper.
3. Ensure that the PTO drive on the tractor is in the OFF position.
Important:
When starting auger for the first time, be prepared for an emergency shutdown in
case of excessive vibration or noise. Auger may run rough until tube is polished.
4. Start tractor and idle at low rpm. Slowly engage PTO drive and hydraulics
(where applicable).
5. Gradually
begin
feeding grain into hopper, bringing auger speed up to about
300 rpm.
• Do not overfeed the hopper on initial loads; keep feed of grain at about
half capacity.
6. After auger tube is polished and runs fairly smoothly, proceed to unload at full
speed of 540 rpm.
7. After initial run, slow auger down until empty of grain and then stop.
8. Lock out tractor and conduct a complete inspection of auger following the
checklist.
After initial start-up and inspection, auger should be operated and inspected at
least 3 more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
After Break-in:
Maintain auger speed of 300 to 540 rpm under normal use for
maximum efficiency and to reduce chance of plugging.
