B. Raise the vertical auger and bolt the angle ring on the vertical auger to the angle ring on the
unload tube.
C. Adjust the feet at the bottom of the vertical auger to support the weight. See the table for the
appropriate minimum distance between the centerline of the unload tube and the ground.
Minimum Ground Clearance
8" 17-1/4" 10" 19-7/8" 12" 18-3/8"
D. Attach the inner support legs to the bin wall. E. Adjust and tighten all the hardware for the support legs.
Attaching the Horizontal Flight
