WARNING
Horsepower Information for Electric Motors
1. Horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain at different angles.
Grain with 15% moisture and above may require more horsepower if maximum capacity is
to be maintained. Use a 2.5" to 3.0" motor pulley for a recommended auger speed of 550
to 650 R.P.M. Motor pulley not furnished. Excessive wear will result if auger speed is in
excess of 700 R.P.M. and auger load up will occur if auger speed is less than 500 R.P.M.
or flow gate is required.
2. Auger speeds in excess of 750 R.P.M. should be avoided as excessive wear will result.
Auger speed below 450 R.P.M. require a flow control to restrict intake to the auger. High
torque is required to turn the flighting if it is permitted to “load up” at low speed and damage
to the auger can result. An optional control gate is available for this purpose.
This Chart is a suggested horsepower requirement for standard Utility Augers.

Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The motor
disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National Electrical
code any local codes which apply. Motor starting control stations be located so that the
operator can see that all personnel are clear of the equipment.

Power Source
1. Use electric motors that operate at 1750 R.P.M
2. Electric motors and controls should be installed by a qualified electrician and must meet the
standards set by the National Electrical Code and all local and state codes.
3. A magnetic starter should be used to protect your 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 those with a
manual reset.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position shall
be provided. This shall be locked whenever work is being done on the auger.
Disconnect power before resetting motor overloads.
Make sure all electrical motors are grounded.
Reset and motor starting and storying controls must be located so that the operator has
full view of the entire operation.
Shut off power to adjust, service, or clean the machinery.
Keep all safety guards and shields in place.

6. STARTUP
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
Start-Up and Break-In
ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is disconnected and
locked out.
1. Make sure ALL belts are tensioned properly.
2. Make sure ALL shields are in place and that the belt(s) and pulley(s) are able to move freely.
3. Double check the assembly instructions to see that all parts have been assembled properly.
4. During operation of equipment, one person should be in a position to monitor the entire
operation.
Note: During the initial start-up and break-in period, the operator should note any
unusual vibrations or noises and take the appropriate action.
Make certain everyone is clear before operating or moving the machine.
5. The bin well inside the bin should have a control gate. The gate should be closed before
start-up and closed before shutdown to allow the machine to clean out.
6. The controls for the control gate should either pull or push open, depending on the type of
well you have. Use the control gate to regulate a flow of less than full capacity until several
hundred bushels of grain have been augered to polish the flighting assembly and tube.
7. Any new screw conveyor or one that has set idle for a season should go through a
“break-in” period. This “break-in” consists of running the auger at half capacity until the
screw becomes polished and smooth before attempting to run at full capacity. It is
recommended that several hundred bushels of grain be augered at partial capacity.
Failure of your auger is very likely to occur if it is run at full capacity before the screw has
become polished.

Page 35
6. STARTUP
CAUTION
CAUTION
NEVER operate augers empty for any length of time as excessive wear will result.
8. Do not stop or start augers under load, especially before the flight and tube become well
polished, as this may cause the auger to “lockup”.
Excessive wear will result if auger is run at speeds in excess of what is recommended.
9. Do not run auger at to slow speed, this will load up or over load the auger. An loading up of
the auger will cause the motor to over load and a higher torque will be required to turn the
auger, which in turn may cause damage to the auger.

7. OPERATION
WARNING
Operate the Auger
Note: The auger capacity can fluctuate greatly under varying conditions. Moisture
content, different commodities, amount of foreign matter and speeds all play a part
in the performance of the auger. Twenty-five percent(25%) moisture may cut
capacity by as much as (40%) under some conditions.
1. Make certain there are at least two (2) people in the work area to monitor operations at all
times.
2. Visually inspect the auger periodically during operation.
Be alert for any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any fasteners. If anything
unusual is detected, immediately shutdown the auger, disconnect and lockout the power
source before servicing.
3. Consideration should be given to the proper size auger for a batch drying or any intermittent
type operations. When augers are stopped and restarted under full load, it may result in
damage to the auger. Using a larger diameter auger and reducing its load level will be far
better than subjecting a smaller diameter auger to big loads. If an auger is kept from
absolute filling, it will make startup easier and will convey more efficiently.

Maintain the Auger
ALWAYS shutdown and disconnect the power supply before adjusting, servicing or cleaning the
equipment.
1. Use caution when repairing or replacing equipment parts.
2. Make sure ALL decals are legible and tightly attached to the auger. If necessary, replace
them FREE OF CHARGE by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer.
3. Ensure that ALL electric motors, etc., are operating at the proper speed
4. Maintain proper adjustments on the belt(s)
5. Mount controls for any electric motors at a safe distance from the machine and in a location
accessible in case of an emergency.
E
6. Make sure ALL electrical wiring is not damaged, and that it meets proper wiring codes.
7. Make sure ALL components are in good working condition before use
8. Check the auger flighting to make sure it is in good working condition.
9. Check the internal bearing bracket, bearing and universal joint to make sure they are in
good working order.
10. Grease bearing at least two (2) times each season.

9. SHUTDOWN
CAUTION
WARNING
Normal Shutdown
1. Make certain unloading tubes are empty before stopping the unit.
2. Disconnect and lockout the power source before leaving the work area.
Emergency Shutdown
1. Know how to shutdown the auger in case of an emergency.
2. Disconnect and lockout the power source.
3. Close bin well control gates.
4. Clear out as much grain from the auger and hopper as you can.
Never restart when under a full load. Starting unit under load may result in damage to the
machine. Such damage is considered abuse of the equipment.
5. Reconnect and unlock the power source.
6. Gradually clear the auger until there is no grain or obstructions.
Lockout
1. Always stop and disconnect the power source whenever the operator must leave the work
area or for maintenance of the machinery.
2. Make sure equipment is locked out and that the machinery cannot be started while the
operator is not in the work area.
Use the type of main power disconnect switch that is capable of being locked only in the
off position.
Storage Preparation
1. Close all wells to discharge auger 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.
