1. Remove the auger bearing shield. (See Figure 4A.)
2. Remove the lock collar from the auger shaft. (See Figure 4B.) To remove the lock collar loosen the
set screw and then locate the dimpled hole on the side of the lock collar. Using a hammer and
punch, set the punch in the dimpled hole and hit it in a clockwise direction until the lock collar is
freed from the bearing.

4. Remove the discharge box assembly from the dryer by removing eight (8) 5/16" bolts, then sliding
the discharge box off the discharge auger.
5. Remove the standard grain sampler from the discharge box assembly auger tube.
6. Hold the Moisture Sampler assembly up to the side of the discharge box assembly. Square the
drive end of the Moisture Sampler with the overlapping edge of the discharge bearing plate and
the bottom edge of the discharge side panel. (See Figure 4D.) Mark the location of the three (3)
bolt holes.

7. On the discharge side plate at the drive end of the Moisture Sampler drill three (3) 3/8" holes at the
marks made in Step 6.
8. Using a sheet of paper make a template of the back side of the mounting plate on the drive end of
the Moisture Sampler. Use this template to mark the square hole in the discharge side panel.
Including the three (3) bolt holes in the template will help to ensure correct hole alignment.
9. Cut out the square hole marked out in Step 8.

10. Now put the Moisture Sampler assembly up to the discharge box again and put in the 5/16" bolts
and nuts and tighten just enough to firmly hold Moisture Sampler in place. Use a marker and mark
the four (4) holes at the sensor end of the assembly as shown in Figure 4E. Also mark the square
hole inside the sample tube as shown in Figure 4E.

4. Installation
12. Install Moisture Sampler discharge cover (D01-2305-8) in top two (2) holes drilled in the box end
using 5/16" bolt (S-6606). (See Figure 4F.)
Moisture sampler discharge cover
Figure 4F
13. Now install the Moisture Sampler over the two (2) bolts used to install the Moisture Sampler
discharge cover in Step 12 and install remaining 5/16" bolt (S-6606) and n uts (S-3611) in the bottom
hole (do not tighten hardware yet). Attach the sensor end using 5/16" bolts (S-8135) and nuts
(S-3611) making sure that the heads of the bolts are on the inside of the discharge box tube. Now
tighten all seven (7) bolts attaching the Moisture Sampler.
14. Remove the four (4) bolts and lock nuts that hold the auger bearing and flangette the discharge box
bearing plate. Flip the auger bearing so that the outside is now the inside, then re-install bearing
flangette and hardware.
15. Before re-installing the discharge box slide the bearing lock collar onto the auger shaft with the
locking side of the collar facing the rear end of the auger shaft.
16. Now slide the discharge box/Moisture Sampler assembly over the auger and re-attach to the
discharge bearing plate on the dryer.
17. Engage the lock collar with the auger bearing and with a hammer and punch strike it in a clockwise
direction to set it with the bearing, then tighten set screw.

18. Install sheave (018-1047-2) and bushing (D32-0016) on the bottom auger shaft that extends
through the discharge box. The key that comes with the bushing is not needed fo r this installation.
Slide bushing into the sheave (leave loose, do not force the bushing in). Slide sheave and bushing
onto the auger shaft. Insert bushing bolts through the non-threaded holes of the bushing (thread ed
holes are for bushing removal) and thread into the holes of the sheave. Tighten bolts evenly until
bushing is snug against the auger shaft but still loose enough to slide on auger shaft so that its
position can be adjusted in a later step.

19. To install the Moisture Sampler drive belt, loop the belt over one of the sheaves and the stretch it
over the other one. Belt direction is marked with an arrow on belt. If necessary remove any belt
links. After the belt is installed the sheave on the auger shaft can be adjusted forward or back for
proper belt alignment. The slot in the end plate can be used t o tension the belt. When eve rything is
aligned tighten the auger shaft sheave and any other hardware left loose.

6. Assembly Instructions
Moisture Sampler Update Kit (D04-0532) Assembly Instructions
To replace parts used on the D01-1945-8 Moisture Sampler assembly - Sold from 1/1/07 to 7/1/09
1. Begin by removing the belt guard, belt, Moisture Sampler lid, end plates, bearings, sampler auger,
and sheave, along with any associated hardware.
2. Assemble the bearings (D03-0845) to the end plates (D01-1871 and D01-2338) with the 1/4" bolts,
lock washers and nuts.
3. Mount the three (3) hole end plate (D01-1871) to the bottom of the Moisture Sampler body with the
1/4" bolts, lock washers, and nuts.
4. Insert the sampling auger (D04-0530) into the bearing on the three (3) hole end plate.
5. Insert the shaft at the top of the auger into the bearing on the two (2) hole plate (D01-2338) and
mount the plate to the Moisture Sampler body. Ensure that the slot in the two (2) hole plate is
closest to the discharge box.
6. Insert the shaft at the top of the auger into the split taper bushing (FH-5536) and place the square
key in the slot for both parts. Attach the sheave (017-1451-8) to the bushing with the bushing bolts.
Tightening these bolts will position the bushing and sheave on the auger shaft. Position such that
the sheave center is aligned with the unload auger pulley.
7. The belt is installed on the unload auger pulley and rolled onto the sheave. This belt can be
tensioned by tightening the bolt in the slot on the two (2) hole plate in the desired position. Ensure
that the belt is stretched tight.
8. Latch the lid (D01-2337) onto the Moisture Sampler body.
9. Drill two (2) 3/8" holes at a position 1" below the bottom g uard holes in the discharge box. Assemble
the belt guard (D01-1888) to the discharge box using the current top holes and the newly drilled
bottom holes.
