Auger Installation
12.Insert the Anchor Assembly into the auger until it touches the
washer at the back of the anchor. Tighten the setscrews in the
center of the anchor until they touch the auger, then tighten a
maximum of 1/2 turn. See Figure 49.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SET SCREWS.
13.Carefully remove the locking pliers while holding onto the Anchor and Bearing Assembly and auger
securely.
Slowly ease the auger back into the tube. Use caution. If the auger is allowed to spring back, the bearing race
may crack.
Install the Bearing Retainer and
fasten with a tube clamp. Keep
the Bearing Retainer flush with
the end of the anchor for safety.

boot.

Auger Brazing

The auger should be brazed if it is
necessary to splice or lengthen it. A
bronze, flux coated rod is
recommended.
The ends of the auger should butt against each other, DO NOT THREAD INSIDE EACH OTHER. See Figure
50. The joint should be well filled with no sharp edges or rough corners to wear against the tube. To align the auger
for brazing, lay it in angle or channel iron and clamp it firmly in place. Use low heat. Allow the joint to air cool;
rapid cooling will cause the auger to become brittle.
