INTRODUCTION

Buhler Farm King gives you more choices to match your auger to your bins, power
sources and operating convenience. The superior scissor lift system features two one
way hydraulic cylinders with restrictor valves to control the rate of descent in the event
of hydraulic hose failure. This feature is safer than conventional cable systems. Also,
note the extra wide undercarriage and wheel tread providing better stability at greater
heights, particularly in windy conditions. This unique mechanical linkage is designed to
use less hydraulic pressure to lift the auger, even when fully loaded. The pivoting
hopper Lift arm may be flipped over for left or right transport position.The hitch is
adjustable for various tractor hitch lengths. The shut off valve is designed to keep your
auger in the position you set it.

The cross auger and main auger are driven by two internal gearboxes, easily reached
for service. Because of the large input and intake boxes, capacity is not restricted.
A 2 wheel power mover allows you to move the hopper back and forth with finger tip
control. Other advanced features include a light kit, heavy duty RPM gearbox and
hydraulic winch.

Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. All new operators or owners must
review the manual before using the equipment and at least annually thereafter. Contact
your Buhler Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the
manual. Visit our website at www.buhler.com for a complete list of dealers in your area.

The directions left, right, front and rear, as mentioned throughout this manual, are as
seen facing in the direction of travel of the implement.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The assembly of this auger will require a 3-ton overhead crane and a forklift. Many of
the components are very heavy so they cannot be maneuvered into place without this
equipment.

1. Start the assembly by assembling the entire lift system (pages 32-34). With the
axle weldment (#7) turned as shown. Bolt on the stub axles (#58) using ¾” x
2 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Mount the wheel and the tire
assemblies (#48) using 5/8” x 2 ½” wheel bolts. Torque wheel bolts to 160 ft/lbs.

ALERT: Do not tighten any hardware for the rest of the lift assembly.

2. Mount the left hand undercarriage arm (#1) to the welded plate on the axle using
¾” x 2 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Next attach the left hand lower
lift arm (#9) with a 1 ¼” x 7 1/8” pin (#11) and a ¼” x 1 ¾” cotter pin.

3. Assemble the two cylinders (#57), the two yokes (#13) and the link weldment
(#14). The yoke arm fits against the outside of the link and against the center
divider of the link. The cylinder ends fit in the open spaces left in the link. Join
parts using a 2” x 18 7/8” pin (#17) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin.

ALERT: Cylinder ports should be facing down.

4. Position the cylinder, link arm and yoke assembly up against the left hand lower
lift arm. Before attaching the right hand lower lift arm (#10) to the axle. At this
point you should lift up the ends of the cylinders until the assembly connecting
the lower lift arms is finished. With the cylinders raised, connect the two lower lift
arms with the torque tube weldment (#55) using ½” x 2” hex bolts, lock washers,
flat washers and hex nuts. Welded brackets on the torque tube must be turned
up

5. Bolt the cradle rest (#12) to the welded brackets on the torque tube using 5/8” x 3
½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Connect the yoke, link and cylinder
assembly to the bottom of the lower lift using a 2 ¾” x 39” pin (#20). Fit the end
of the link between the bottom bushings on the lower lift arms. Insert the pin
through the right hand lift arm first, the link second and then the left hand arm.
Lock the ends of the pin in place with ½” x 3 ½” bolts and lock nuts.

6. Connect the upper lift arm (#8) to the upper bushings on the lower lift arms
using 2” x 9 5/8” pins (#21) and 5/16” x 3” cotter pins. These pins must be
installed with the head of the pin facing the center of the auger and the cotter pin
end facing out. Attach the ends of the yokes to the upper lift arm using a 2” x 20
½” pin (#15) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

7. Attach the two cylinders to the welded bracket on the upper lift arm using a 2” x
17 ¼” pin (#16) and a ¼” x 2 ½” cotter pin. Attach the right hand undercarriage
arm (#2) at this point. Connect the two undercarriage arms with the tie plate (#5)
using 5/8” x 1 ¾” bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

8. Lift the end of the lift arm assembly slightly above the undercarriage arms. Bolt
the lift arm rest tube (#6) to the top surface of the angle irons welded to the inside
of the undercarriage arms. Lower the lift arms onto the rest tube. The hardware
on the lift assembly will be tightened after the assembly is connected to the
tubing and is positioned in place.

9. After the lift assembly is complete, the main tubing is assembled (pages 27-31).
Align tubes and assemble tube number 5 (#5) to the top of number 4 (#4) using
5/8” x 1 ¾” grade 8 hex bolts, 5/8” S.A.E. flat washers and lock nuts. Two side
bridging brackets (#18) are bolted to the sides of each pipe ring connection at the
same time that the pipe rings are bolted together. Align the flighting with the
couplers at the ends and bolt together using a ¾” x 4” bolt and lock nut. Next,
assemble tube number 3 (#3) to tube number 2 (#2). Finally, bolt tube number 1
(#1) to tube number 2.

10. Pages 35-39. Couple the 12 7/8” drive shaft (page 35, #11) to the bottom end of
the flighting using a ¾” x 4” hex bolt and lock nut. Make sure the shaft fits into
the RPM gearbox (#26) before bolting to the flighting. Insert a 3/8” x 7 3/8” key
(#12) into the drive shaft and slide the input box assembly (#1) onto the drive
shaft. Line up the flange bolt holes on the input box with the pipe ring and bolt
together using 5/8” x 1 ¾” grade 8 hex bolts, S.A.E. flat washers and lock nuts.
The drive shaft is held on by inserting a 5/8” x 1 ¾” bolt, lock washer and a ½”
thick x 3” flat washer (#24) at the end of the shaft. Insert splined drive shaft (#84)
into the outer coupler on the gearbox and attach PTO shaft (#85).

ALERT: There are two holes on the top stub shaft for cotter pin installation on

the top flighting which should allow for a wide range of adjustment.

11. Pages 27-31. Attach all the bridging yokes. The main bridging yoke (#11) bolts
to the welded brackets on tube numbers using 5/8” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock
washers, flat washers and hex nuts. Attach the two braces (#12) to the main
yoke using ½” x 1 ½” hex bolt, lock washers and hex nuts. Tube number 1 has a
74” long yoke (#9) with a 34” brace (#10) bolted on using the same hardware.
Tube number 3 uses a 103” long yoke (#13) with a 43” brace (#14) also with the
same hardware. The final bridging yoke bolts to tube number 4 which is a 60”
long yoke (#16) with a 27 ¾” brace (#17) also using the same hardware.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

12. Pages 27-31. Using an overhead hoist, put a sling around tube number 1 and lift
so the bottom end is raised about 12 inches. Attach the shorter top bridging
cable first (#78). This cable goes from just below the undercarriage pivot plate
on tube number one, across the main bridging yoke and to the top end of tube
number 3. Bolt the 2” wide cable yokes (#83) to the top end of each cable using
¾” x 2 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Bolt the yokes to the cable
brackets welded to tube number 3 with the same hardware. Use the bottom hole
in the yoke if possible. The other holes can be used if the cable stretches after a
few years. The long top bridging cable (#79) goes from the lower part of tube
number 1, across the main bridging yoke and to the center of tube number 5.
Use the same hardware as the short cables. The side bridging cables (#77) run
across the four side bridging brackets on each side of the pipe rings from tube
number 1 to tube number 5. Use the 1 ½” wide cable yokes (#84) at the top end
of these cables. The hardware for these cables is ½” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. The top bridging cables are tightened using the threaded
rods at the bottom end until the tubes bow up a few inches. Tension the side
cable evenly so tubes are straight left and right. Tighten cable clamps after
tensioning is complete.

ALERT: On yokes where the cable clamps hold two cables, do not use the cast
part of the cable clamp.

13. Put a sling around the tubing at a point just above the main bridging yoke. Raise
the top end of the tube assembly high enough to fit the discharge spout
(page 28, #82) over the spout opening. Bolt on spout using 3/8” x 1” hex bolts,
lock washers and hex huts.

14. Tension the flighting using the crown nut at the top of the flighting. Snug up this

nut and then give it about an extra 1/4 turn. Do not over tighten. You only want
the weight of the flighting to hang from the top bearing.

15. Pages 32-34. Bolt the undercarriage connector plates (#41) to the welded
brackets on the sides of tube number 1. Use 5/8” x 1 ¾” hex bolts, lock washer
and hex nuts on the top 2 holes. Flat head bolts on the bottom 2 bolts. Lift the
tube assembly high enough to roll the lift assembly underneath centered on the
tubing. You will need an overhead crane with a 3 ton capacity to lift the tube
assembly. The holes at the end of the undercarriage arms must line up with the
holes in the connector plates. Slide a 3” o.d. x 24 ½” long tube (#3) through all
four holes and lock in place with 1 ½” wide collars (#4), ½” x 4 ½” hex bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. Connect the upper lift arm to the bottom of the main
bridging yoke using a 2” x 22 ½” pin (#18). Lock in place with collars (#19),
½” x 3 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

12

16” Backsaver Auger

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

16. Lift up the tubing assembly so lift assembly is a few inches above the cradles.
Center the upper lift arm on the cradle. This will require a forklift. Tighten all lift
arm and undercarriage hardware while the tube assembly is raised. Lower back
into cradle when hardware has all been tightened.

17. Using 3/8” x ¾” sq. hd. set screws and a 3/8” x 1 ½” key mount the u-joint
(page 35, #98) on the intake auger gearbox. Position the u-joint by placing a
straight edge along the bottom of the pipe ring on the intake auger top box
(page 35, #67) and measuring exactly 2 ½” from the top of the straight edge to
the center of the u-joint as shown in drawing.

18. Pages 35-39. Lift the intake auger assembly onto the input box (#1). The
splines on the U-joint must slide onto the splines on the input box gearbox. This
will require a hoist. Let the ring sit on the input box without forcing it to the exact
center if it is not positioned perfectly. Flip open the intake auger top door (#77)
and bolt on the ring using 3/8” x 1 ½” hex bolts. A 3/8” (10 gauge) flat washer
goes under the input box top cover. The 1 ¼” o.d. flat washers should be 1/8” to
3/16” from touching the edge of the ring. This is done to prevent side pressure
on the u-joint. Four 2” x 6 ½” plates (#33) act as a ring holder. Tighten bolts
using 3/8” lock washers and hex nuts. The intake auger should turn freely
around the input box.

13

16” Backsaver Auger

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

ALERT: If the intake auger is removed for repair or replacement, the bolt

coupling the flighting to the intake auger gearbox must be replaced when the
flighting is replaced. Not replacing this bolt could cause failure of the hopper
flighting.

19. Using a 3/8” x 1 ½” key and 3/8” x ¾” sq. hd. set screws, join the hopper flighting

and the intake auger flighting at the universal joint (page 36, #48). Join the
hopper and intake auger using two ¾” x 1 5/8” bolts and lock nuts. A flat washer
goes on the outside only. Parts must swivel freely after bolting together. Check
that the cross on the u-joint is in line with the two pivot bolts.

The cover (page 36, #63) bolts to the front edge of the hopper using ¼” x ¾” hex
bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The cover is held down by the cover rod
(page 35, #64) which is pushed through the clevises welded to the intake auger
and held in place with a 3/16” x 1 ½” cotter pin. Check that all the set screws on
the u-joint have been tightened and that the u-joint has grease before closing the
cover.

ALERT: Never run the auger without this cover bolted on. The yoke center must

align with the pivot holes after assembly.

20. Pages 36-39. Bolt the 7” wide rubber edging (#59) supplied to the top edge of
the hopper using ¼” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Use 1” wide
strips on the sides of the hopper (#90) and on the outside edge (#88). These
strips fit on the inside of the hopper and help keep the rubber from tearing. The
ends of the rubber strips are joined using connector plates (#91) with ¼” x 1” hex
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts.

21. The lift boom (page 22, #20) is bolted to a welded bracket on top of tube number
1 about 136” from the bottom pipe ring using 5/8” x 1 ¼” hex bolts, lock washers
and hex nuts. The intake auger lift cable (page 22, #85) has a safety hook at one
end. Thread the other end of the 3/8” cable around the pulley at the end of the
lift boom and then around a cable pulley in the bracket which swivels at the back
of the lift boom. Bolt the hydraulic winch (page 22, #89) and solenoid assembly
to the welded winch bracket near the bottom of tube number 1 using ½” x 2” hex
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts. NOTE: The end of the lift cable
must be run through the winch guard (page 22, #93) before attaching the cable to
the winch. Bolt on the winch guard using ½” x 1 ½” hex bolts, lock washers and
hex nuts. There are flat irons with two holes welded near the front on the sides
of the hopper. Hook the lift cable in the upper hole on the far side of the hopper
so the hopper will turn open end toward the auger. This is the standard transport
position. The safety chain is attached to the loop at the top end of the hopper.
This chain should always be attached when transporting the auger. The lift boom
can be used on either side of the auger. The lower hole on the hopper bracket is
used for clean out only.

14

16” Backsaver Auger

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

ALERT: When the intake auger is raised from working position, the lift cable is

hooked into the loop at the top of the hopper. The open end of the hook must be
turned toward the hopper. The intake auger could detach and fall if the main
auger is raised with the hook turned the other way.

22. Pages 40 & 41. The hydraulic line on the auger must be coupled at the pipe
rings between tube number 1 and tube number 2 using a 63” hydraulic hose
(#21). Screw a 90 degree elbow (#25) into the ball valve (#26) and connect this
assembly to the bottom of the hydraulic line. Attach a 120” hydraulic hose (#24)
to this elbow. The other end of the hose connects to the tractor.

23. Connect the 8’-6” hydraulic hose (page 40, #15) with the assembled 12” lines
and fittings from the base of the cylinders to the hydraulic line on the main auger.
All fittings should be taken apart and sealed with Teflon tape before tightening.
Install the two vent plugs (page 32, #42) in the cylinders.

ALERT: The flow control valve (page 40, #16) regulates the lowering of the

auger to avoid damage which could be caused by lowering the auger too quickly.
Arrow on the flow control should be pointing toward the 6 foot hose. Be sure that
the valve is open approximately 3 ½ turns before raising the auger to full height
or the auger will not lower.

24. Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the two spool valve assembly (#1).
There are two #12 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#7) in the side ports. With the
valve turned as shown on page 31, fit two #10 MORB to #8 MJIC adaptors (#8)
in the right hand ports on top of the valve. The left hand ports which control the
mover use adaptors with a restrictor valve (#28).

25. Pages 40 & 41. Assemble the fittings into the hydraulic motors (#10). The upper
port on the motor uses a #12 MORB straight adaptor (#7) while the lower port
uses a 90 degree #12 MORB adaptor (#6). The two straight adaptors are joined
using a 79” hose (#3). Two 21 foot hoses (#2) attach to the 90 degree elbows on
the hydraulic motor. They run up between the motor and the hopper and along
the intake auger tube till the right side ports, on top of the valve (as shown).
These lines are clamped down to the top of the intake auger tube using hose
holders (page 35, #31) with 3/8” x 1” hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The
hopper mover is controlled by the valve handle which lines up with the two ports
the hoses are attached to in the valve.

ALERT: The hopper mover may move quite quickly with some tractors. Be sure

everyone is clear of the area when using the mover.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – cont’d.

26. Pages 40 & 41. Attach the 139” hydraulic hoses (#5) to the relief valve (#12)
bolted to the winch hydraulic motor. These hoses run down the tube, alongside
the input box and connect to the left side ports on the top of the valve. The winch
has a pressure relief valve so the hoses must be connected to the correct ports.
Check hydraulic system drawing to verify. Two 79” hoses (#4) connect to the
sides of the valve. These both attach to the tractor.

27. The relief valve (page 40, #12) bolted to the winch hydraulic motor should be
adjusted before using. The power is adjusted on the control screw at the top of
the unit. Loosen the hex nut on the threaded shaft and adjust using an Allen
wrench. Adjust so you have enough power to lift the empty intake auger off the
ground. Lock the setting in place with the hex nut. The winch speed is adjusted
by a control screw on the side. Remove the plug and adjust the speed with an
Allen wrench. Adjust so the intake auger lifts slowly and replace the plug.

28. The standard drive position for the drive shaft (page 35, #85) in the rpm gearbox
(page 35, #26) is in the outer coupler. The center coupler on the gearbox is used
to reverse the flighting. This should be used to clean out the auger only. There
are two solid plugs in the side of the gearbox. The higher of the two plugs should
be removed and replaced with a 90 degree vent plug (page 50, #17). The lower
of the two plugs acts as an oil level plug.

29. Re-check and tighten all bolts.

30. Immediately after setting up the auger, hook it up to a tractor. Raise and lower
the auger three or four times to purge all the air out of the hydraulic line to the lift
cylinder. This will help to prevent the auger from settling when you have it in
working position above a bin.

ALERT: Always check to see that both ends of the PTO shaft are securely

attached every time the auger is used. This should always be done with the
tractor engine shut off. When transporting the auger, disconnect the PTO shaft
from the tractor. The PTO holder at the end of the hitch is used to hold the PTO
during transport.

Do not run the auger with the intake auger in the transport position. Doing this
will damage the u-joint between the intake auger and the input box.

LIGHT KIT ASSEMBLY

The light kit can be assembled while assembling the auger or it can be added
afterwards. The light kit will have to be used in conjunction with the reflective safety
decals in some areas. Check local laws to see if this applies in your area. The
reflectors and instructions for their placement are in the crate of parts. Always use the
light kit when moving the auger on a public roadway.

1. Pages 42 & 43. The main harness (#1) along with the two lines to the halogen
lamps (#2 & #3) connect to the two switches (#9) mounted in the switch box
welded to the input box. Use a clip (#16) and a 5/16” x ¾” hex bolts, lock washer
and hex nut to fasten the main harness to the side of the valve mount on the
input box. The main harness has a 7 pin round end. An adapter (#10) which
coverts 7 pin round to 7 pin flat is supplied with the light kit. See the wiring
schematic for the proper wiring. Hook-up at the switch.

2. Bolt one halogen lamp (#8) to the top box on the intake auger as shown in

drawing. Position the lamp so it points at the hopper. Halogen lamps are for
use during auger operation only. Switch them off during transport. The harness
for the intake auger lamp is clamped on with clip (#15) using the top bolt on the
clean out at the top of the intake auger. The other end of the harness connects
to the switch as shown in wiring schematic.

3. Bolt the second halogen lamp (#8) to the top end plate on the auger. Bolt cable

brackets (#11) to all four sets of pipe rings using the top two bolts on the pipe
ring as shown in drawing. Run the 107-foot wiring harness (#3) from the halogen
lamp at the top down to the switch. Clamp the harness to the cable brackets on
the pipe rings using clips (#15) with 5/16” x ¾” hex bolts, lock washers and hex
nuts. Pull the bottom end of the harness through the cable brackets and lower
bridging stand welded to the bottom auger tube. Connect the bottom end of the
harness to the switch as shown in the wiring schematic. A clip (#15) holds the
harness at the top of the auger using one of the bolts holding on the top end
plate as shown in drawing. Use this lamp for positioning the spout over a bin.

4. The three lines running to the switch box must be fitted through three straw relief

connectors (#20) mounted in the switch box bottom plate (#14). Assemble the
connectors with accompanying lock nuts (#21) on the three wires before making
the final connections. Bolt the bottom plate to the switch box using 5/16” x ¾”
hex bolts and lock washers. Lock the wires in place using the lock nuts which fit
onto the connectors.

LIGHT KIT ASSEMBLY – cont’d.

5. Remove the nuts and lock washers from the top two bolts on both
undercarriage clamp plates and bolt on the right and left blinker mount
weldments (#12 & #13). The ends should face out across the tire. Bolt an
amber light (#7) to the top of each mount. The 30-inch harness (#6) connects
to the light on the right hand side as shown in drawing. The two lights are
joined by a 13-foot harness (#5). Use nylon ties to fasten the harness to the
axle so it will not hang down. The 45 foot harness (#4) attaches at the point
where the 30 inch and 13 foot cables join. Run this wire along the right hand
undercarriage and clamp on using nylon ties. Thread the remaining wire
through the openings in the cable brackets welded to the side of the auger
tube down to the switch box. Connect the end to the main wiring harness

6. Connect the main wiring harness to the towing vehicle and check to see that
all lights are working properly. The halogen lamps should turn on and off with
the switches. The amber lights should turn on and off with the towing vehicle
lights. Use the vehicle flasher if you want the amber lights to flash.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

All augers may be elevated up to 45°; however, for the best operating efficiency 35°
should not be exceeded. At angles over 35° the capacity and life of the auger
decreases. Use in some types of fertilizer may cause accelerated wear and corrosion
as well as added stress on lift components due to additional load. Use in fertilizer can
affect warranty.

Run auger partially full until flighting becomes polished.
Never operate an empty auger for over one minute as the flighting and housing will

experience excessive wear.
To position the auger, always tow or move the auger in the down position to a point as

close as possible to the bin or barn.
ALERT: Always keep the wheels level. Raise the auger to the desired height

and back the auger into position. Do not support the auger on the bin. As the auger
becomes full it carries a lot of weight and may cause damage to the underside of the
auger or to the bin. The auger should be firmly attached to the drawbar of the tractor at
all times during operation.

ALERT: Never place blocks under the wheels to increase the elevation of the
auger.

Be sure the wheels are free to move and no one is standing close to the auger when
raising or lowering. Never attempt to raise or lower the auger while it is in operation.

The intake auger swivels freely on the top of the input box. It can be positioned
anywhere between the tractor and the side of the auger.

ALERT: 16" Augers are designed for PTO drive tractors with 1000 rpm only.
Maximum capacity will be attained while running the main auger at or near 1000 rpm.

NOTE: The weight of the intake auger and hopper assembly must be supported by the
transport chain, whenever the auger is moved. If the weight of the intake auger is on
the winch, the winch may be damaged during transport.

The auger uses a hydraulic winch to lift the intake auger. Never have less than three
wraps of cable on the drum of the winch.

ALERT: Never operate the hydraulic winch or the hopper mover when the PTO
shaft is engaged.

A two-spool valve assembly on the back of the input box controls both the hopper
mover and the hydraulic winch. See drawing for proper hose plumbing.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CONT'D.

ALERT: Always maintain at least a 4” overlap on the PTO shields. Be sure
they turn freely and make certain everyone stands clear of the tractor, PTO shaft, and
auger before engaging power take-off. Be sure ends are securely connected to the
auger and tractor.

The distance between the tractor and the auger stubs should be between 40” and 42”
with the tractor and auger on level ground and the auger in full down position. This
distance is obtained by either adjusting the tractor hitch, the auger hitch or both.

Before engaging power take-off, start tractor and idle engine. Engage power take-off
slowly and bring PTO rpm up to recommended speed of 1000 rpm for 16" augers.

Before stopping auger (except in an emergency) let all grain empty out of the auger, idle
engine then disengage power take-off. Shut off tractor.

ALERT: Do not use the reverse kit to attempt to unplug the auger. The reverse
kit is designed to be used for CLEAN-OUT ONLY!

ALERT: When auger is left in raised position over night, close the ball valve on
the hydraulic line to the cylinder. This will prevent the auger from lowering, due to
hydraulic leakage, and avoid possible damage.

The hydraulic winch is designed to lift an empty intake auger only. Clean out hopper
before attempting to lift with the winch. Do not lift the main auger any higher than 35
degrees before lowering the intake auger. There will be interference between the intake
auger and the input box if you go any higher.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - CONT'D.

One-way flow control valve can be adjusted by loosening the hex nut on the side, and
turning on the screw with the machined end. Turning the screw in decreases the speed
the auger lowers, while turning it out increases the speed. The approximate initial
setting should be 3 ½ turns out from the tight position. When set, re-tighten hex nut to
set position. NOTE: Be sure that the valve is somewhat open before raising the first
time or auger will not lower.

Be sure there is always some tension on the flighting by adjusting the end thrust bearing
at the upper end of the auger.

ALERT: Always lower auger before transporting and allow the weight of the
auger to rest on the undercarriage and not the hydraulic cylinder.

Be certain to turn jack sideways when towing auger.

ALERT: Disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor and pin it in place in the PTO
holder when towing or maneuvering the auger. This will prevent possible damage to the
PTO shaft during cornering.

ALERT: If the PTO shaft angle exceeds 50° during a tight turn, the constant
velocity joints will be fractured and will likely fail shortly thereafter during operation.

PTO shear bolts (2 required) – 3/8" x 1" hex bolt (grade 8)
ALERT: When towing the auger, never exceed 32 kilometers per hour.
This 16” auger has a total weight of about 13,000 pounds and a hitch weight of about

2,700 pounds. You must have a vehicle rated for this amount of weight to transport this
auger.

MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION

Check condition of winch cable regularly. Be sure it is lubricated. Replace cable if you
notice any broken strands.

Check to see that there is no downward bow in the main tubes at the start of every
augering season. Re-tension cables if required as per the assembly instructions. This
should also be checked immediately after hauling the auger for a long distance.

Use a high temperature grease for all lubrication.
Lubricate the PTO shaft as per instruction sheet.
Check grease on end thrust bearing to be sure it is running smoothly and freely.

Remove cap and grease at the start of every season.
Check hydraulic lines frequently for leaks or damage.
Grease universal joint in intake auger after every eight hours of use.
Grease the U-joint connecting the two gearboxes about every 8 hours. Do regular

checks on the oil level in the gearboxes. Fill if necessary to the height of the side plug
using SAE 90 oil. Because the gearbox runs in the grain, it is difficult to see any oil
leaks so regular checks should be done. The reducer gearbox requires 2.5 litres of
75W–90 synthetic oil. Reducer gearbox should be serviced every year or every 1000
hours. The hydraulic winch gearbox requires 2.5 litres of 80w-90 gear oil.

ALERT: When replacing bearings or tightening a loose bearing collar, always
tighten collar in the

direction of shaft rotation using a center punch or a similar tool.

STORAGE

The auger should be stored in a dry place if possible. If stored outside, lower auger to
its lowest position and block up the wheels so auger will not move.

Clean auger thoroughly as dirt draws moisture and causes metal to rust. If the auger
has been used to move fertilizer, clean thoroughly and apply oil or grease on entire
flighting and inside the housing to stop and prevent further corrosion.

At this time check all moving parts for wear and order replacement parts from your
nearest dealer.

When taking the auger out of storage, clean it thoroughly and check for obstructions at
the inlet and outlet ends.

Check all bolts and set screws.
Regularly check the tightness of all cable clamps to avoid slipping. Inspect wire rope

regularly for evidence of wear or corrosion. Such inspections should take place at
progressively shorter intervals over the useful life of the rope, as wear tends to
accelerate with use and/or age. Where wear is rapid, the outside of a wire rope will
show flattened surfaces in a short time. A piece of cloth or rag, rubbed along the wire
tope will help to reveal broken wires. The effects of corrosion are not easy to detect
because the exterior wires may appear to be only slightly rusty, and the damaging
effects of corrosion may be confined to the hidden inner wires where it cannot be seen.
To prevent damage by corrosion, the rope should be kept well lubricated. Periodic
cleaning of wire rope by using a stiff brush and kerosene or with compressed air or live
steam and relubricating will help to lengthen rope life and reduce abrasion and wear on
sheaves and drums.

RECOMMENDED CUSTOMER GREASING PROCEDURE FOR

50 DEGREE DOUBLE C.V. PTO

A general purpose grease may be used. However, a grease containing 3%
molybdenum disulfide will allow the lube intervals to be extended to twice as long as
that listed. The first lube interval should be 16 – 24 hours of operation after initial start­up; then follow the schedule below. Constant angle applications must have a lube
interval of 4 hours.

LUBE RECOMMENDATIONS
INTERVAL LOCATION AMOUNT
8 hrs. Cross & Bearings 1 pump

8 hrs. Telescoping Members 4-8 pumps (until grease comes out of end)
8 hrs. CV Ball & Socket 1-2 pumps

Greases containing various percentages of moly. are available as extreme pressure
greases. Please note that not all E.P. greases contain moly so some investigation may
be necessary. The following greases all contain 3% moly: Mobile Oil Company,
“Mobile Grease CMP”; Shell Oil Company, “Retinax AM”; and Texaco, “Molytex EP (#0)
and (#2)”.
