5. Upon completion of initial run, shutdown auger (see section below for more
information on shutting down your auger).
6. Lock out tractor and conduct a complete inspection of auger following the
checklist at the beginning of this chapter.
34 16652 R1
WHEATHEART - GHR130 & WHR130 GRAIN AUGERS 5. OPERATION
USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the
large capacity of some augers. Some augers plug, causing damage to the
flighting and other drive components. This type of damage is not covered by
warranty. Hints on how to avoid this...
• Get a larger spreader, if available.
• Remove the spreader.
• Make sure spreader is turned on.
• Center auger spout on spreader.
• Do not lower auger spout into spreader.
• Suspend the spreader from bin ceiling leaving extra room for excess
grain to flow over the spreader.
BIN LEVEL INDICATORS: These augers are fast and bins fill up quickly. A
full bin will cause auger to plug, which can damage the flighting and other
drive components. Installing quality grain-level indicators on your bins will
allow you to monitor bin filling and help prevent damage to your auger.
PTO-SD & EMD DRIVE MODELS 5.2. OPERATING PROCEDURE
After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and
inspected at least three more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
Keep operation of empty auger to a minimum, as this results in excessive wear.
Once auger is broken in, the checklist should be a part of the daily routine before
operating auger.
5.2.2. OPERATING WITH A FULL LOAD
1. When operating the auger , always work with a second person in a position to
monitor the operation and initiate a shutdown in case of emergency.
2. Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.
3. Shut off all power before making adjustments, servicing, or clearing the
machine.
DANGER
Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting
guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good
working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• Do not operate the auger without all
guards, doors, and covers in place.
• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a
stick or other tool to remove an obstruction or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
