Capacity
A. The capacities may vary greatly under varying conditions. The following factors play a role in the
performance of the auger:
• Speed • Amounts of foreign matter
• Angle of operation • Different materials
• Moisture content • Methods of feeding
B. For example, a twenty-five percent (25%) moisture could cut capacity by as much as 40% under
some conditions.

Outlet Cutting Guidelines
1. Before ordering, predetermine the location of the outlet drops. Make sure the outlet drops do not
interfere with the connecting band locations.
2. When an outlet opening is cut, that section of tube loses much of its strength therefore additional
support may be necessary.
3. If you have internal bearing flighting, outlets may be cut below internal bearings but a hole must cut
in the spout half band allow access to internal hanger bearing.
4. We recommend removing flight before cutting the tube otherwise flight will be no tched and/or rough
edges will occur. This may not significantly impact the performance of the auger, but burrs and
metal chips should be removed or abnormal wear will result. Also, grind down any rough edges on
tubing for a better fit and smoother operation.
5. Carefully measure the outlet before cutting. Follow the recommended guidelines as shown
in Figure 4AC. It is very important that the opening be large enough not to reduce capacity, but
small enough so the outlet can be covered securely by the spout.

Enclosed Slide Gates with Rack and Pinion Control
1. Follow cutting guidelines on Page 29.
2. Attach spout to tube with backband.
3. Remove smaller outside nut from the rack and pinion connecting rod and insert rod through the hole
in the angle on the slide gate and secure with the smaller outside nut.
4. Fully close slide gate. Using the pulley, adjust the half bands so they are locate d a t th e e nd of t he
control rod farthest from the spout. Then tighten the half bands to the tube.
5. Wrap rope or cable around the pulley, doubling it to prevent slippage.

5. Electric Drive Motors
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 stopping 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.
Power Source
1. Use electric motors that operate at 1750 RPM.
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 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 those with a manual reset.

6. Start-up
AL WAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place until all the power is disconnected
and locked out.
Make certain everyone is clear before operating or moving the machine.
Failure of the auger is very likely to occur if it is run at full capacity before the
screw has become polished.
NEVER operate augers empty for any length of time as excessive wear
will result.
Excessive wear will result if auger is run at speeds in excess of what
is recommended.
Start-up and Break-in
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 (1) 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.
5. The bin well inside the bin should have a control gate. The gate should be closed before start-up
and closed before shut down 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 in
use. Use the control gate to regulate a flow of less than full capacity until several hundred bushels
of grain have been augured 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 augured at partial capacity.
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 “lock up”.
9. Do not run auger at too slow of a speed as this will load up or overload the auger. An loading up
of the auger will cause the motor to overload and a higher torque will be required to turn the a uger,
which in turn may cause damage to the auger.

7. Operation/Maintenance
Be alert for any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any fasteners.
If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the auger, disconnect
and lock out the power source before servicing.
ALWAYS shut down and disconnect the power supply before adjusting,
servicing or cleaning the equipment.
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.
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 start-up
easier and will convey more efficiently.
Maintain the Auger
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 the 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.
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.

8. Shut Down
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.
Use the type of main power disconnect switch that is capable of being locked
only in the OFF position.
Normal Shut Down
1. Make certain unloading tubes are empty before stopping the unit.
2. Disconnect and lock out the power source before leaving the work area.
Emergency Shut Down
1. Know how to shut down the auger in case of an emergency.
2. Disconnect and lock out the power source.
3. Close bin well control gates.
4. Clear out as much grain from the auger and hopper as possible.
5. Reconnect and unlock the power source.
6. Gradually clear the auger until there is no grain or obstruction.
Lock Out
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.
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.
