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.

30787 R1 9
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”
30787 R1 11

• To prevent serious injury or death:
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Do not operate equipment unless all driveline, tractor, and equipment shields are in place and in good working order.
• Make certain the driveline shields turn freely on driveline.
• Make certain the driveline is securely attached at both ends.
• Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed maximum recommended length for PTO driveline.
• Do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended operating length.
• Set the tractor brake and block wheels on the tractor and the implement to insure proper spacing of the PTO shaft at all times.
• Make sure driveline is properly secured to prevent damage during transport.

2.7. TIRE SAFETY

• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion that may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform required tire mainte­nance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original tire specifica­tions. Never undersize the replacement tire.
• Do not weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the rim. This action may cause an explosion which could result in serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturers's recommended pressure.
16 30787 R1

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.
