A qualified electrician must install electrical controls and wiring. The motor
disconnect switches and conductor cables must comply with the National
Electrical code and any local codes which apply. Reset and motor starting
stations should be located so that the operator can see that all personnel are
clear of the equipment.
Electric Motor Drive Selection
A. Use the bin size and the length of horizontal flight being to determine horsepower required for
the job.
B. Use the tables on the following pages to determine the size of motor required. Use a larger m otor when
encountering high moisture or when high capacity is required.
(See Chart on Pages 31
C. The following horsepower recommendations are for moving fairly dry grain. Use an electric motor of
the proper size that operates at 1750 RPM. Motor pulleys are not furnished with the auger.

3. Installation
1750 RPM 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. Reset and motor starting controls shall be located
where the operator has unrestricted access to the controls.
Disconnect and lock out power before resetting motor overloads. Ensure
electric motors are grounded.
A. A magnetic starter should be used for the operator’s protection and for the protection of the motor.
This is to protect the operator against accidental restart caused by power interruption, conductor
fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor overload. Therefore, the motor must be restarted
manually. If using a motor with built-in thermal overload protection, make su re this type of motor has
a manual reset.

Perform Pre-start Checks
Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may cause damage to the
equipment and/or cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to those in the work area.
Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may also be a misuse of
the equipment. Any misuse of the equipment may void the warranty.
ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is
disconnected and locked out.
Make sure ONLY trained operators are in the work area before operating or
moving the machine. Two (2) people must always be in a position where the
operation of the equipment can be monitored.
A. Make sure ALL belts are properly tensioned.
B. Make sure ALL shields are in place and that the belt(s) and pulley(s) can move freely.
C.Inspect the drive unit for any problems or potential problems.
3. Installation
D. Be aware of any emergency shut down procedures. Two (2) people must always be in a position
where the operation of the equipment can be monitored.
E. Before starting the auger for the first time, make sure that all parts are assembled correctly according
to the instructions in this manual.
F. The bin wall inside the bin should have a control gate. The gate should be closed before start-up.

3. Installation
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load. Doing so may cause the
auger to “jam”.
Failures may occur if the auger is run full of grain before it has been “polished”
during the “break-in” period.
NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of time
will cause excessive wear.
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.
Never operate the auger at speeds higher than recommended. Auger flights
running in excess of recommended speeds will cause excessive wear.
Start the Auger
A. Start the auger.
B. If the auger is being used for the first time or for the first time of the season, run the auger through a
“break-in” period. This “break-in” period consists of running the auger at half capacity until the screw
becomes polished and smooth before attempting to run at full capacity.
C. The bin wall 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.
D. The controls for the control gate will either pull or push open, depending on the type of well being
used. Use the control gate to regulate a flow of less than full capacity until several hundred bushels
of grain have been run through the auger to polish the flight assembly and tube.
E. 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”. Make sure to use the co ntrol gate as a flow contro l so the
vertical auger cannot become plugged.

3. Installation
Be alert for any unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any faste ners. If
anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the auger, disconnect and
lock out the power source before servicing.
NEVER restart when under a full load. Starting unit under load may damage the
machine. Such damage is considered abuse of 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 o f the auger.
Twenty five percent (25%) moisture may cut capacity by as much as 40% under some conditions.
A. Ensure there are at least two (2) people in the work area to monitor operations at all times.
B. Visually inspect the auger periodically during operation.
C. When augers are stopped and restarted under full load, it may damage 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 the auger is kept from complete filling, it will make start-up easier and will convey
more efficiently.
Normal Shut Down
A. Before shutting down the unit, make sure that bin wall and unloading tubes are empty.
B. Disconnect and lock out the power source before leaving the work area.
Emergency Shut Down
A. Know how to shut down the auger in case of an emergency.
B. Disconnect and lock out the power source.
C. Do not restart the auger under load.
D. Close the bin wall control gates.
E. Clear out as much grain from the auger and hopper as possible.
F. Unlock and reconnect the power source.
G. Gradually clear the auger until there is no grain or obstruction.

Page 36
3. Installation
Use the type of main power disconnect switch that is capable of being locked
only in the OFF position.
ALWAYS shut down, lock out and disconnect the power supply before
adjusting, servicing or cleaning the equipment.
Lock Out
A. Always stop and disconnect the power source whenever the operator must leave the work area or
for maintenance of the machinery.
B. Make sure no one can operate the unload auger while the operator is not in the work area.
Storage Preparation
A. Close all wells to discharge auger.
B. Be sure the unload tube is empty.
C. Shut down the auger.
D. Make sure power source is locked out and disconnected.
E. Make sure all fasteners are tight.
Maintenance
A. Use CAUTION when repairing or replacing equipment parts.
B. Make sure ALL decals are legible and firmly adhered to the auger. If necessary, replace them FREE
OF CHARGE by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer.
C. Ensure that ALL electric motors, etc., are operating at the proper speed.
D. Maintain proper tension on the belt(s).
E. Mount controls for any electric motors at a safe distance from the machine and in a location
accessible in case of an emergency.
F. Make sure ALL electrical wiring is not damaged and that it meets proper wiring codes.
G. Make sure ALL components are in good working condition before use.
H. Check the auger flight to make sure it is in good working condition.
I. Grease the bearings at least two (2) times each season.
