Auger Installation

Note: Use extreme caution when working with the auger. The auger is under tension and may
spring causing personal injury. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and safety
glasses when working with the auger.
BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING WITH THE AUGER!
Be careful not to drop the rolled auger when handling to avoid kinking the auger. Inspect the auger carefully as it
is installed. Small kinks may be straightened but large kinks must be removed and the auger brazed back together.
Cut the leading 18" (450 mm) and last 18" (450 mm) off each roll of auger. Also, cut out any other distorted auger
sections and reconnect the auger as specified in the Auger Brazing section of this manual.
1. Remove the Anchor & Bearing Assembly from the boot under the Hopper.
2. Use extreme caution when pushing the auger into the auger tubes. Keep your hand away from the end of the
auger tube to avoid injury.
With the auger coiled about 6' (1.8 m) from the end of the boot, feed the auger through the boot into the tubes.
Push the auger into the tube in short strokes.
Uncoil and handle the auger carefully to avoid damaging or kinking the auger.
3. If more than one coil is required for each feeder line the auger ends will have to be brazed together. Refer to
the Brazing the Auger section in this manual.
4. Continue installing auger until the auger reaches the Control Unit end of the feeder line.
5. Slide the Drive Tube and flat washer over the output shaft on the Power unit, see figure 32.
6. Attach the auger to the output shaft of the Power Unit. Use the Drive Block to secure the auger to the Output
shaft.
