Everyday Operation - HARVEST T1036 Operator's Manual

Upon completion of initial run, slow down until the auger is empty of
grain, and stop auger. Lock out the power source and conduct a complete
inspection of the auger, following the pre-operation checklist. After the
initial start up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and
inspected at least three times during the first hours of operation. Once
your auger is broken in, the pre-operation checklist should be part of the
daily routine before you operate the auger.

4.4 Everyday Operation

WARNING:
When auger is in operation, keep your hands, clothing, and other
objects away from intake hopper, drive chains, and all other parts of
auger to avoid personal injury.
For normal auger operations, the following procedure and
safety precautions are strongly recommended:
Complete the pre-operation checklist before using your auger.
Remember to ground motor before using auger if an electric motor is
being used.
When using the auger, work with another trained operator present to
monitor the operation and help with a shutdown in case of an emergency.
Monitor the auger during operation for vibration and abnormal noises. If
anything out of the ordinary is noted, shut down and lock out the auger,
determine the source, and correct before continuing operation.
Keep the hopper full and running at 540 RPM for maximum capacity. Pour
grain in the middle of hopper, closest to the tube for best results.
Run the auger only when moving material. Running the auger without
grain moving through causes unnecessary wear.
