Operate Unload Equipment Properly
• Untrained operators subject themselves and others to SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH. NEVER allow untrained personnel to operate this equipment.
• NEVER work alone.
• Keep children and other unqualified personnel out of the working
area at ALL times. Refer to the Start-Up section of this manual for
diagrams of the work area.
• Make sure ALL equipment is locked in position before operating.
• NEVER start equipment until ALL persons are clear of the work area.
• Keep hands and feet away from the auger intake and other moving parts.
• NEVER attempt to assist machinery operation or to remove trash from equipment while
in operation.
• Be sure all operators are adequately rested and prepared to perform all functions of operating
this equipment.
• NEVER allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs to operate
the equipment.
• Make sure someone is nearby who is aware of the proper shut down sequence in the event of an
accident or emergency.
• ALWAYS think before acting. NEVER act impulsively around the equipment.
• NEVER allow anyone inside a bin, truck or wagon which is being unloaded by an auger or
conveyor. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Keep area around intake free of obstacles such as electrical cords, blocks, etc., that might
trip workers.
• NEVER drive, stand or walk under the equipment.
• Use caution not to hit the auger when positioning the load.
• ALWAYS lock out ALL power to the equipment when finished unloading a bin.
• Be aware of pinch points. A pinch point is a narrow area between two su rfaces that is likely to tra p
or catch objects and so is a potential safety hazard.

Removal and Installation
3. Installation
1. Remove the two (2) 5/16" serrated flange nuts that retain the inspection cover as shown in
Figure 3A
Figure 3A
.
2. Remove the inspection cover from the center well.
3. Unhook the idler sprocket tension spring from the idler sprocket bracket.
4. Rotate the idler sprocket bracket away from the chain.
5. Slide the clutch yoke driving jaw away from the clutch sprocket driven jaw as shown in Figure 3B.
Figure 3B
PNEG-1716 Gearbox Input Speed Reduction Packages 9
3. Installation
6. Rotate the sprocket on the gearbox so that the connecting link of the chain is on the upper side.
7. Remove the connecting link from the two (2) ends of the chain.
8. Remove the chain from the center well.
9. Loosen the set screw in the sprocket that is on the gearbox input shaft.
10. Remove the sprocket and key from the gearbox input shaft as shown in Figure 3C.
Figure 3C
11. Inspect the key for damage. Replace if necessary.
12. Install the new larger sprocket onto the input shaft of the gearbox as shown in Figure 3D.
Figure 3D
10 PNEG-1716 Gearbox Input Speed Reduction Packages
13. Align the face of the gear with the face on the clutch sprocket driven jaw.
NOTE: Both small and larger sprockets need to be aligned to each other.
3. Installation
Figure 3E
14. Gently tighten the set screw in the sprocket to hold its position on the shaft. A final tightening will
happen after the chain is installed.
15. Route the new longer chain around both sprockets.
16. Join the two (2) ends together with the appropriate connecting link.
17. Make a final position adjustment to the larger sprocket. It is vital that the sprocket on the input shaft
of the gearbox and the clutch sprocket on the driven jaw are inline. Failure to do so will result in
decreased life capacity of the chain itself and possible binding issues.
18. Once the proper position has been obtained, tighten the sprocket set screw.
19. If not already done, lubricate the chain.
20. Rotate the idler sprocket bracket back so that it engages the chain. Re-attach the idler sprocket
tension spring onto the idler sprocket bracket.
21. Make sure that the clutch driving jaw has been completely disengaged from the clutch sprocket
driven jaw.
