Auger Tube Installation - Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Installation Instruction

FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery System

Auger Tube Installation

The FLEX-AUGER Delivery System includes two 45 degree elbows as standard equipment. These elbows are
used to make up the sloping portion of the auger line at the feed bin, and elsewhere in the system if necessary. If
additional elbows are required they should be ordered separately. Figure 2 shows how the elbow can be cut into
shorter sections.
1.Determine where the entrance hole for the auger tube must be located on the building and cut it.
2.If necessary, cut the elbow used where the auger enters the building. Slide the seal ring and neoprene seal
over the straight end of the elbow and place it in the hole cut in the building, with the belled end outside the
building. (See Figure 3.) Clamp the belled end of the second elbow on the outlet end of the boot on the feed
bin.
3.Place the straight end of a tube section inside the belled end of the elbow in the building. Hold the straight
section of auger tube so that it touches the elbow on the boot. Mark the spot where the tube touches the boot
elbow and cut the elbow at that point.
4.Place the belled end of the auger tube over the end of the elbow just cut, and hold the tube against the top
elbow. Mark and cut the straight auger tube so that it will fit between the two elbows.
Remember to cut the auger tube long enough to fit inside the belled end of the elbow in the building.
