10.4 IN THE EVENT OF A JAMMED AUGER

Occasionally damp fuel or foreign objects could get jammed in the auger screw. When this occurs it will be
necessary to empty the hopper and/or remove the auger screw from the hopper assembly.
Start by emptying the pellets from the hopper. If it is necessary to remove the auger cotter pin, start by removing
both of the side panels and the rear panel. Locate the auger motor, remove the cotter pin that secures the motor
to the auger. Remove the two hex bolts from the auger housing which will allow the cotter pin to slide out. After
you have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent fl ights, burrs, or broken welds. Remove any foreign material
that might have caused the jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, rough spots, or
grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a jam.
