WARNING

It shall be the duty of all operators to see that children and/or other persons stay
out of the work area. If anyone not involved in the actual operation trespasses
into the work area, it shall result in an immediate shut down by the operator.

WARNING

It shall be the responsibility of all operators to see that the work area has secure
footing, is clean and free of all debris and tools which might cause accidental
tripping and/or falling.

DANGER

Make certain everyone is clear before operating equipment.

WARNING

The operator shall be aware of any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening
of any fasteners.

CAUTION

Keep all safety shields and devices in place.

DANGER

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving parts

DANGER

Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service or clean.

DANGER

Inspect the Auger

After delivery of the new auger and/or completion of assembly and before each use, inspection of the
machine is mandatory. This inspection should include, but not be limited to:

1. Check to see that all guards listed in the assembly instructions are secured in place and functional.

2. Check all safety signs and replace any that are worn, missing or illegible. They are listed in the front
in the decal section on Pages 9 and 1 0 of this manual. Safety signs may be obtained from the dealer
or ordered from the factory.

3. Check to see if all the fasteners are tight.

Designate a Work Area

Designate a large perimeter around the auger for a work area.

Operating Procedures

During the operation of the auger, one person shall be in a position to monitor the operation. Inspect the
drive before adding power and know how to shut down in an emergency. (See Page 19.) Visually inspect
the auger periodically during operation. For efficient and safe operation, be aware of all the adjustments
and checks which should be performed.

18 PNEG-1079 6", 8" and 10" Vertical Bin Unload Auger

5. Operation Procedures

Before operating the unit, add #90 weight non-foaming oil to the gearbox until it
reaches the level check plug in the side of the gearbox.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Before starting the tractor, be certain power to PTO is OFF.

NOTICE

Be certain that the PTO driveline is securely attached to the auger and the tractor.

CAUTION

Use a PTO driveline with a rotating shield in good working order th at can be turned
freely on the shaft.

NOTICE

Align PTO driveline w ith tra cto r.

The auger may be operated at speeds from 500 RPM-750 RPM. Operating spe eds of 650 RPM-730 RPM
are recommended to achieve rated capacity. Auger flight speed in excess of recommended speed causes
excessive wear. Do not attempt full load operation at speeds below 350 RPM as high torque requirements
may damage the auger.

Break-In Period

Any screw conveyor when it is new or after it sets idle for a season should go through a “break-in” period.
The auger should be run at partial capacity until several hundred bushels of grain have been augered. This
polishes the flighting assembly and tube. Once this is accomplished, the auger can be operated at full
capacity. The auger should not be operated empty except at start-up and during clean-out.

PTO Drive

Only use a tractor with 540 RPM power take-off. If the tractor output PTO shaft is operated at 540 RPM,
the auger will have a 540 RPM auger flight speed.

NOTE: The PTO driveline furnished with the auger is equipped with a “SPRING-LOCK” coupler at the

tractor end. This type coupler is spring loaded and will fit the standard 1-3/8" x 6" spline PTO
output shaft from a tractor.

The retaining balls of the coupler lock into the ring groove of the tractor PTO output shaft to prevent
inadvertent detachment. The PTO driveline is a pin stop-type; that is, the two (2) telescoping sections will
not separate. It is a good practice to operate the PTO driveline in as short a configuration as possible and
keep in line with the tractor as much as possible during operation.

Double check the following before adding power:

Engage PTO at a slow RPM to minimize shock loads. Then work up RPM to recommend speed.
Never operate the auger empty for any length of time, as excessive wear will result. If at all possible,

do not stop or start the auger under load, especially before the flight and tube have become well polished,
as this may cause the auger to “freeze-up”. (See break-in period above.)

PNEG-1079 6", 8" and 10" Vertical Bin Unload Auger 19

5. Operation Procedures

Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the operator has full
view of the entire operation. A main power disconnect switch capable of being
locked only in the OFF position shall be provided. This shall be locked
whenever servicing or adjusting the auger.

DANGER

Disconnect power before resetting motor overloads. Make certain electric motor
is grounded.

DANGER

To Start Auger

1. Before starting the tractor, be certain power to PTO is OFF.

2. Start tractor.

3. Engage PTO at a slow RPM to minimize shock loads. Then work up RPM to recommended speed.

To Stop Auger

1. Let auger empty of grain before stopping.

2. Disengage PTO and lock out.

Electric Motor Drive

Use a 1750 RPM motor with HP as suggested in the Chart below. Electric motors and controls shall be
installed by a qualified electrician and must meet the standards set by the National Electrical Code and all
local and state codes. Use a 4-1/2" motor pulley (not furnished) for 650 RPM flight speed (6" and 8").

Use a 4" motor pulley for 580 RPM flight speed (10").

A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop the motor
in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor overload. Then the
motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this type
motor is used, use only one with manual reset.

The horsepower recommendations are based on clean, dry shelled corn or wheat. High moisture grain
(above 15%) will require greater power. The maximum possible capacity will be less with high moisture
grain than with dry grain.

5. Operation Procedures

Whenever you must service or adjust the equipment, make sure to stop motor
and lock out the power source.

DANGER

If the operator must leave the work area or whenever servicing or adjusting, the
unloading auger must be stopped and the power source locked out. Precautions
should be made to prevent anyone from operating the auger when the operator
is absent from the work area.

WARNING

Check the Following before Adding Power

1. Double check to make sure the guards are secured in place and functional.

To Start Auger

1. Start electric motor before conveying grain.

To Stop Auger

1. Let auger empty of grain before stopping.

2. Shut off electric motor and lock out.

Normal Shut Down

Make certain that the auger is empty before stopping the unit. Before the operator leaves the work area,
the power source shall be locked out. (See Lock Out below.)

Intermittent Operation Shut Down

When an auger is stopped and restarted under full load, it may result in damage to the auger. Therefore,
if intermittent operation is to be carried out, it is advisable to reduce the load level. When kept from
absolute filling, auger start-up is easier and operation is more efficient.

Emergency Shut Down

Should the auger be immediately shut down under load, first disconnect and lock out all power source.
Clear as much grain from the auger as you can using the clean-out doors. Never attempt to restart auger
when full.

NOTE: Starting the unit under load may result in damage to the auger. Such damage is considered

abuse of the equipment. When as much grain as possible has been cleared, reconnect power
source and clear auger gradually.

Lock Out

PTO Drive: Remove ignition key or coil wire from power source. (If this is impossible, remove

the PTO driveline from the work area.)

Electric Motor Drive: Use a main disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position.

5. Operation Procedures

Never clean, adjust or lubricate a machine that is in operation.

DANGER

Capacity

The results or capacities of screw conveyors or augers can vary greatly under diverse conditions. Different
materials, moisture content, amounts of foreign matter, angle of operation, methods of feeding and speed
all play a role in performance of the auger. Capacities listing in the Chart below will be achieved when
augering reasonably dry grain. Maximum possible capacity will be less with high moisture grain (above
15%) than with dry grain.

Unit Capacity BPH

6" 850-1250
8" 2000-2500

10" 3250-3750

Clean-Up

1. Check to see that all guards listed in the assembly instructions are in place and secured
and functional.

2. Check all safety decals and replaced any that are worn, missing or illegible. The safety decals are
listed on Pages 9 and 10. Safety decals may be obtained free of charge from the dealer or ordered
from the factory.

3. Check to see that all fasteners are securely in place.

Storage Preparation

1. Close all wells to discharge tube.

2. Be sure the unload tube is empty.

3. Make sure power source is disconnected and locked out.

4. Check to see that all fasteners are secure.

Lubrication and Maintenance

The flange bearing on the head and tail ends of the auger should be lubricated at frequent intervals.

2. Drive belt may be overtightened, putting head
stub and flight in a bind.

1. There may not be enough grain reaching
the auger.

2. The auger is moving too slowly.

1. The auger may be “jamming” because too much
grain is reaching the auger.

2. The grain may be wet.

3. The auger may be jammed with foreign material. 3. Remove any foreign material in the auger.

4. The motor may be to small or wired incorrectly.

1. It may be necessary to remove the flighting
for inspection.

2. Loosen the drive belts.

1. Make sure the intake has not bridged
over, restricting flow. The flighting at the
intake should be covered with grain for
maximum capacity.

2. Check the auger speed. Low capacity will
result from speeds slower than recommended.

1. Use the control gates to decrease the amount
of grain the auger is gathering.

2. If wet grain or other hard-to-move material is

being augered, use a larger size motor than
recommended for normal use.

4. Check wiring or consider using the next larger
size motor.
