  • Page 8: Operation Safety

    16” Backsaver Auger OPERATION SAFETY Do not permit riders. Do not wear loose fitting clothing during operation. Empty the auger before moving, to prevent upending. The Backsaver Auger should be attached to the drawbar of the tractor at all times during operations.

  • Page 9: Service And Maintenance Safety

    16” Backsaver Auger TRANSPORT SAFETY – cont’d. Take extreme caution in maneuvering on or around tight corners so as not to catch the end of the auger on trees, buildings, power lines, etc. The equipment should never be towed without the safety chain securely attached to the auger and the towing vehicle.

  • Page 10: Storage Safety

    16” Backsaver Auger STORAGE SAFETY Store the unit in an area away from human activity. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine. Support the frame on stands and blocks to provide a secure base. When storing an auger, park it on level ground so that the bottom end will never be over its center of gravity.

  • Page 13: Assembly

    16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The assembly of this auger will require a 3-ton overhead crane and a forklift. Many of the components are very heavy so they cannot be maneuvered into place without this equipment. Start the assembly by assembling the entire lift system (pages 32-34). With the axle weldment (#7) turned as shown.
  • Page 14 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. Attach the two cylinders to the welded bracket on the upper lift arm using a 2” x 17 ¼” pin (#16) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin. Attach the right hand undercarriage arm (#2) at this point.
  • Page 15 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. Pages 27-31. Using an overhead hoist, put a sling around tube number 1 and lift so the bottom end is raised about 12 inches. Attach the shorter top bridging cable first (#78). This cable goes from just below the undercarriage pivot plate on tube number one, across the main bridging yoke and to the top end of tube number 3.
  • Page 16 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. Lift up the tubing assembly so lift assembly is a few inches above the cradles. Center the upper lift arm on the cradle. This will require a forklift. Tighten all lift arm and undercarriage hardware while the tube assembly is raised. Lower back into cradle when hardware has all been tightened.
  • Page 17 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. ALERT: If the intake auger is removed for repair or replacement, the bolt coupling the flighting to the intake auger gearbox must be replaced when the flighting is replaced. Not replacing this bolt could cause failure of the hopper flighting.
  • Page 18 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. ALERT: When the intake auger is raised from working position, the lift cable is hooked into the loop at the top of the hopper. The open end of the hook must be turned toward the hopper. The intake auger could detach and fall if the main auger is raised with the hook turned the other way.
  • Page 19 16” Backsaver Auger ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d. Pages 40 & 41. Attach the 139” hydraulic hoses (#5) to the relief valve (#12) bolted to the winch hydraulic motor. These hoses run down the tube, alongside the input box and connect to the left side ports on the top of the valve. The winch has a pressure relief valve so the hoses must be connected to the correct ports.

  • Page 20: Light Kit Assembly

    16” Backsaver Auger LIGHT KIT ASSEMBLY The light kit can be assembled while assembling the auger or it can be added afterwards. The light kit will have to be used in conjunction with the reflective safety decals in some areas. Check local laws to see if this applies in your area. The reflectors and instructions for their placement are in the crate of parts.
  • Page 21 16” Backsaver Auger LIGHT KIT ASSEMBLY – cont’d. Remove the nuts and lock washers from the top two bolts on both undercarriage clamp plates and bolt on the right and left blinker mount weldments (#12 & #13). The ends should face out across the tire. Bolt an amber light (#7) to the top of each mount.

  • Page 22: Operation

    16” Backsaver Auger OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS All augers may be elevated up to 45°; however, for the best operating efficiency 35° should not be exceeded. At angles over 35° the capacity and life of the auger decreases. Use in some types of fertilizer may cause accelerated wear and corrosion as well as added stress on lift components due to additional load.
  • Page 23 16” Backsaver Auger OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CONT'D. ALERT: Always maintain at least a 4” overlap on the PTO shields. Be sure they turn freely and make certain everyone stands clear of the tractor, PTO shaft, and auger before engaging power take-off. Be sure ends are securely connected to the auger and tractor.
  • Page 24 16” Backsaver Auger OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CONT'D. One-way flow control valve can be adjusted by loosening the hex nut on the side, and turning on the screw with the machined end. Turning the screw in decreases the speed the auger lowers, while turning it out increases the speed. The approximate initial setting should be 3 ½...

  • Page 26: Maintenance

    16” Backsaver Auger MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION Check condition of winch cable regularly. Be sure it is lubricated. Replace cable if you notice any broken strands. Check to see that there is no downward bow in the main tubes at the start of every augering season.

  • Page 27: Storage

    16” Backsaver Auger STORAGE The auger should be stored in a dry place if possible. If stored outside, lower auger to its lowest position and block up the wheels so auger will not move. Clean auger thoroughly as dirt draws moisture and causes metal to rust. If the auger has been used to move fertilizer, clean thoroughly and apply oil or grease on entire flighting and inside the housing to stop and prevent further corrosion.

  • Page 28: Greasing Procedure

    16” Backsaver Auger RECOMMENDED CUSTOMER GREASING PROCEDURE FOR 50 DEGREE DOUBLE C.V. PTO A general purpose grease may be used. However, a grease containing 3% molybdenum disulfide will allow the lube intervals to be extended to twice as long as that listed.
