Auger; Using The Auger To Load Products - CONCORD 2800 Operator's Manual

3.3 Auger

The air cart is equipped with an auger (1) for
loading and unloading the product bins. The auger
is mounted in a swing arm. A flexible discharge
hose is mounted on one end. This hose can be
moved from one compartment to another without
moving the hopper. The swing arm also enables
the auger to be turned around to unload and clean
out the compartments.
The hydraulic drive for the auger is supplied with
oil from the blower hydraulics. A diverter valve in
rear of the machine supplies oil to the auger. The
diverter valve can be switched with the blower
running. The diverter valve at the rear of the
machine selects either the fan or auxiliary (auger
and/or winch) function. Push the knob in to run the
blower. Pull the knob out to run the auger or
winch.
The auger has a three position variable speed valve
to run the auger forward, rearward, or to stop.
