DANGER
To prevent bodily injury or death from the unexpected start-up of the machine, always stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition before making adjustments to the machine.
NOTE:
Some newer upper cross augers do not have beater bars.

2. Shut down the engine, and remove the key from the ignition.
3. Position one beater bar (B) and one clamp set (C) onto the
auger tube and loosely secure with carriage bolt (A) and
nut. Bolt head MUST face the direction of auger rotation.
4. Position the remaining clamp sets (C) onto the auger tube
and loosely attach to beater bar (B) with carriage bolts (A)
and nuts. Bolt heads MUST face the direction of
auger rotation.
5. Position second beater bar (B) in clamp sets (C) and secure
with carriage bolts (A) and nuts.

bars by 90°.
