7. Pull the auger at the boot end until it begins
stretching then let it relax. In the relaxed position,
mark the auger at the end of the boot. See Figure 33.
8. Auger stretch:
•The auger needs to be stretched 7" (180 mm) per
100' (30 m). Example: A 300' (90 m) feeder line
requires 21" (500 mm) of stretch.
•Beginning at the relaxed position, measure the
required amount of stretch. Mark the auger at that
point.
•Grip the auger 8" (200 mm) ahead of this mark with
locking pliers. Allow the auger to pull back into the boot so the pliers rest against the end of the boot,

9. Insert the Anchor Assembly into the auger, guide the
tip of the auger between the two roll pins and continue
to insert the auger until it touches the washer at the
back of the anchor. Tighten the two screws in the
center of the anchor.
10. 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.
