After initial start-up and inspection, auger should be operated and inspected at
least 3 more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
Keep operation of empty auger to a minimum, as this results in excessive wear.
After Break-in: Maintain auger speed of 300 to 540 rpm under normal use for
maximum efficiency and to reduce chance of plugging.
Once auger is broken in, the checklist should be a part of the daily routine before
operating auger.

1. When operating the auger, always work with a second person in a position to
monitor the operation and initiate a shutdown in case of emergency.
2. Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.
3. Shut off all power before making adjustments, servicing, or clearing the
machine.
4. If grain overflows through safety discharge door, then the auger is loaded
beyond its capacity; reduce volume of feed to intake hopper. Remember,
auger capacity will decrease at steeper angles of operation.
5. Engage and disengage PTO drive with tractor engine at idle speed. This will
reduce stress on drive components and on shear bolts.
6. Do not exceed 540 rpm on the PTO.
NOTICE
Running auger empty at high speeds results in excessive
wear. Do not exceed 540 rpm.
DANGER
Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting
guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good
working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• Do not operate the auger without all
guards, doors, and covers in place.
• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a
stick or other tool to remove an obstruc-
tion or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust,
service, or clean.
