1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
1.1. OVERVIEW X1374, X1384, X1394
1.1. OVERVIEW
X13 augers are equipped with standard features that include a hydraulically
controlled main auger tube lift, a low-profile grain hopper (left or right side
operation), service access doors, and a PTO driveline for auger power.
Available option kits include:
• Hydraulic Winch
• Hydraulic Power Swing for Hopper
• Electric Power Swing for Hopper
• Right Angle Drive
• 540 RPM PTO Reverser
• 1000 RPM PTO Drive and Reverser
1.1.1. AUGER POWER SOURCE
The power source for the auger is a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO (see Figure
1.1). An optional Right-Angle PTO Drive kit allows the auger to be powered by a
tractor positioned at a 90 degree angle to the auger (Figure 1.2).
An optional 1000 RPM PTO Drive kit provides a speed reducer that allows use
with 1000 RPM PTO tractors, as well as reverser capability that is used to rotate
the auger flightings in the reverse direction (transferring grain in the auger tube
back to the hopper).
An optional 540 RPM Reverser kit provides a similar reverser capability for
540 RPM PTO connections.

Figure 1.3 Grain Transfer Boot
1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
1.1. OVERVIEW X1374, X1384, X1394
PTO driveline connection (including connection to the optional 540 RPM PTO
Reverser and 1000 RPM PTO Drive) is provided on the back of the boot, above
the tractor hitch (and hitch jack).
The ball valve used to raise or lower the main auger tube is located on the side of
the boot (see figure below), as is the manual winch used to raise and lower the
grain hopper (see section 6.1. for further information on auger controls).
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair (the swing arm
spout head access hatch is shown below), as well as an overflow panel on the
swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom of the boot.
1.1.3. GRAIN HOPPER
The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain
for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles.
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, winch (hydraulic or manual operation, according to the installed option), and
transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.5).
The grain hopper provides service to the side of the auger that it is installed on,
but the hopper, lift arm, and winch can be quickly reconfigured to install the
hopper on the other side if required.
Do not approach, open or close the maintenance hatch located on the transition
between the swing are tube and the hopper unless all power to the auger is
locked out.
DANGER
Rotating Auger Hazard
Contact with rotating flighting will result in
amputation or severe laceration.
DO NOT operate with guards removed or
modified.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
auger.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing or items
that could become caught.
Shut off and lock out the power source before
unplugging or cleaning.

1.1.4. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT
The auger tube is raised and lowered using two single-acting hydraulic cylinders
powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor . The main auger tube is
raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to
retract.
A hydraulic ball valve mounted on the side of the grain pick-up boot controls flow
of hydraulic fluid to the lift cylinders, and with appropriate use of the hydraulic
controls on the connected tractor, allows the main auger tube to be raised,
lowered, or locked at a specific height during operation (see “Operator Controls”

1. Align tube sections on a series of support stands, placing a support stand at
the end of each tube. If possible, make sure that support stand height is
equal across all tubes to ensure that tubes are level with each other.
Otherwise, use some form of shim to keep the tubes level across all of the
support stands.
Important: Always strap tubes to the support stands to prevent the tubes from rolling off the
stands and onto the floor.
2. Working from the spout end (upper tube) to the discharge end (lower tube),
connect the tubes together as shown in Figure 3.4, as described below:
a. Align flightings to ensure a continual spiral of auger surface, and connect
flight shafts with 1/2” x 4” bolts and 1/2” locknuts.
b. As flight shafts are connected, slide tube sections together and secure with
7/16'' X 1-1/4'' GR8 bolts and 7/16” locknuts.

WARNING
Components are heavy and create a crushing
hazard if improperly handled. Be sure to use
proper hoisting equipment and procedures,
and ensure lifting apparatus is secure. Lock
out the lifting apparatus before working
around or under the raised components;
failure to do so may cause serious personal
injury.
Note: The gearbox is sent from the factory filled half way with EP90 gear oil. Before
further assembly, check oil level to make certain the gearbox is half full. Add oil if
necessary. Do not use grease.
1. The boot flighting comes pre installed on the end of the lower tube flighting
shaft (See Figure 3.5). Ensure that the flighting is fastened with a
1/2'' X 4” GR8 bolt and 1/2” locknut before proceeding.
