OPERATING PROCEDURES Page 8 FLIGHT SPEED INFORMATION Proper auger flight speed is important for efficient operation of the Power Sweep. 1. If the flight speed is too fast, excessive wear will result. 2. If the flight speed is too slow and the auger flighting is permitted to “load-up”, high torque will be required to turn the auger flighting, this can result in damage to the auger.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Page 14 CONCRETE TRENCH LAYOUT Concrete should not be poured around the unloading auger components. For installation of augers into grain bins with concrete floors, a pre-formed trench should be made in the floor that will accept the auger, wells and controls, See illustration below for minimum trench dimensions and relative position of the trench to the center of the bin.
Page 17
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Page 15 UNLOADING AUGER AND BIN WELLS The illustration below shows the typical layout of the center and intermediate wells. The chart and illustration on Page 17 gives the appropriate dimensions for well location according to various bin diameters. For bins with raised metal floors, it is necessary to cut openings in the floor for the center well and intermediate wells.
Page 18
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Page 16 UNLOADING AUGER AND BIN WELLS (con’t.) 2. Use the bin flange as a template to locate and mark the opening’s to be cut out of the bin wall for the unloading tube, the center and intermediate well control pipes, and the clutch control pipe (locate the unload tube opening the same distance below the floor as the auger tube connected to the center well).
Page 19
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Page 17 UNLOADING AUGER AND BIN WELLS (con’t.) 4. Locate the intermediate wells using the chart below to determine distance between the wells (weld-on wells will already be properly positioned, the floor can then be installed around the bin wells). Cut openings in the bin floor for the intermediate wells using the cut-out dimensions shown on Page 15.
