SIGN-OFF SHEET

As a requirement of OSHA, it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the safe operation and safety

procedures with this auger. We include this sign off sheet for your convenience and personal record keeping.

GENERAL INFORMATION

DATE EMPLOYER SIGNATURE EMPLOYEE SIGNATURE

Operation of this auger shall be limited to competent

and experienced persons. In addition, anyone who will

operate or work around an auger must use good

common sense. In order to be qualified, the operator

must also know and meet all other requirements,

such as:

1. Some regulations specify that no one under the

age of 16 may operate power machinery. This

includes this auger. It is your responsibility to

know what these regulations are in your area or

situation.

2. Current OSHA regulations state in part: “At the

time of initial assignment and at least annually

thereafter, the employer shall instruct every

employee in safe operation and servicing of all

equipment which the employee is, or will be

involved with.”*

3. Unqualified persons are to stay out of the work

area. See page 4.

4. A person who has not read and understood all

operating and safety instructions is not qualified

to operate the machine.

*Federal Occupational Safety & Health Standards for

Agriculture Subpart D, Section 1928.57 (a) (6).

Page 3

OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS

WARNING

Anyone who will operate or work around this machine shall first read this manual! This

manual must be delivered with the equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and

its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment.

DESIGNATED WORK AREA

A designated work area should always be established

for auger operation. Keep in mind that although the

custom auger may be installed above the grain bin as

a fill auger, or used for bulk tank unloading, there are

still applications that may require a work area to be

roped off and properly marked.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Page 4

Under no circumstances should

persons not involved in the operation

be allowed to enter into the work area.

It shall be the duty of all operators to

see that children and/or other persons

stay out of the work areas! Entering

the work area by anyone not involved

in the actual operation, or trespass into

a hazardous area by anyone, shall

result in an immediate shut down by

the operator.

It shall be the responsibility of all

operators to see that the work area has

secure footing, is clean and free of all

debris, and tools which might cause

accidental tripping and/or falling.

CUSTOM AUGER INFORMATION

As the name implies, custom built augers are made

to fit your specific requirements. Since these augers

are normally installed in a permanent position, the

selection of the proper size auger can initially save

time and money later.

For example, if today’s requirements call for 1200

BPH (32 TPH) capacity, a 6” auger would be adequate.

Considering the fact the unit may be installed 30 ft.

(9.2 M) above the ground as a fill auger over the top

of several bins, an 8” custom might be a better buy.

The larger auger can run slower, giving longer life,

plus allowing the capacity of the system to be

increased in the future without costly replacement.

Reducer drives are available for 8” models. Reducer

drives also offer better speed control as they allow

the use of a wider range of pulley sizes. The ability

to control speed and flow is important in any system

where one conveyor is feeding another.

Intermediate bearings (also referred to as internal

flight bearings) should always be used on overhead

augers that have more than one discharge opening,

as this application allows some portion of the auger

to run empty. These bearings placed at 10 ft. (3 M)

intervals will keep the flighting centered to prevent

contact with the tube, thus eliminating excessive

wear and noise.

Intermediate bearings should be considered on any

unit that is out in the open where inspection can be

performed at the bearing points.

Custom augers should be supported with good solid

brackets, trusses and/or towers. Most conveyors

should be supported approx. every 10 to 15 feet

(3 to 4.6 M), but can vary depending on size and

weight. Remember, supports are only as strong as

what they are attached to, so make sure a good solid

base is used.

In situations where an auger will be pressure-fed at

the intake end, it is advisable to use a device for

restricting the flow. This will keep the auger tube

from filling so full that it tends to “jam” the flighting.

Examples of situations where over-filling can occur

are: formed hopper pits under storage bins; dump

pit to wet holding tank and bulk tank unloading

(hopper bottom).

If an auger is kept from completely filling, it will make

start-up easier and will convey more effieciently.

Slide gates and intake control gates can also be

used in the pressure area.

•

CUSTOM AUGER INFORMATION (con’t)

•

BREAK-IN & OPERATING INFORMATION

During the operation of your auger, one person shall

be in a position to monitor the operation at all times.

Any screw conveyor when it is new, or after sitting idle

for a season should go through a “break-in” period.

The auger should be run at partial capacity until several

hundred bushels of grain have been augured to polish

the flighting and the tube.

When the flight and tube are polished and smooth, the

auger can be run full. Never run the auger empty for

any length of time as excessive wear will result. If at

all possible, do not stop or start the auger under load,

especially before the flight and tube become well

polished, as this may cause auger to “freeze-up.”

GENERAL INFORMATION

Page 5

OPERATING CAPACITIES

The capacities of screw type conveyors can vary greatly

under varying conditions. Different materials, moisture

content, amounts of foreign matter, angle of operation,

methods of feeding and speed all play a role in the

performance of the auger.

An auger operating at a 45 degree incline could be cut

20% in capacity over an auger operating horizontally.

Twenty-five percent (25%) moisture could cut capacity

back by as much as 40% under some conditions.

During initial start-up and break-in period,

the operator shall be aware of any

unusual vibrations or noises that would

indicate a need for service or repair.

Keep all safety shields and devices in

place.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from

moving parts.

The operator should have a full view of

the auger work area and check that all

personnel are free from designated work

areas before adding power.

If an inclined auger has one foot of grain over the inlet

flight it will get better capacity than if there was only

one inch of grain covering. On the other hand, an auger

in the bottom of a cone shaped pit or under a bulk tank

with maybe four feet of grain on top of it may be over

fed. The result would be extra strain on the drive line

and possibly cause the auger to overload and stall out.

In these situations, a baffle, lid or control gate should

be used to limit grain flow to the auger.

SHUTDOWN/LOCKOUT

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

Should the auger be immediately shut-down under load,

disconnect and lockout the power source.

Clear as much grain from the hopper and auger as

you can. Reconnect the power source and run the

auger to clear the grain. Never attempt to start when

under load.

NORMAL SHUTDOWN

When shutting down the auger, make certain the hopper

and auger are empty before stopping the unit. Before

the operator leaves the work area, the power source

shall be locked-out.

Upon start-up, make sure to start the electric motor

before conveying grain.

INTERMITTENT SHUTDOWN

Consideration should be given to the proper size auger

for batch drying, or any intermittent type operation.

Using a large diameter auger and reducing its load level

will be far better than subjecting a smaller diameter

auger to high loads.

If an auger is kept from absolute filling, it will make start-

up easier and will convey more efficiently.

LOCKOUT

If the operator must leave the work area, or whenever

servicing or adjusting, the auger must be stopped and

the power source turned off. Precaution should be taken

to prevent anyone from operating the auger when the

operator is absent from the work area.

A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked

only in the “Off” position shall be provided.

Starting the unit under load may result

in damage to the auger. Such damage

is considered abuse of the equipment

and will not be warrantied.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Page 6

ELECTRIC MOTOR INFORMATION

Always use a motor with the power requirement suggested in the tables below.

Use a motor that operates at 1750 RPM.

Electric motors and controls shall be installed by a qualified electrician and must meet the standards set by

the National Electric Code and all local and state codes.

Reset and motor starting controls may be mounted directly to the auger or in a nearby area, but must be

located so the operator has full view of the entire operation from the control location.

A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop the motor in

case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption, or motor overload, the motor will

then need to be restarted manually. Make sure electric motor is properly grounded.

Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this type motor is used, use only those with manual

reset capabilities.

The reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the operator has full view of the

entire operation. Disconnect power before resetting controls.

A main power disconnect switch that can be locked only in the “Off” position shall be provided.

This shall be locked whenever work is being done on the auger.

POWER REQUIREMENTS (8” Custom Augers)

*Motor pulleys are not included with the auger.

The power recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain at varying angles. High moisture grain

(above 15%) will require greater power. The maximum possible capacity will be less with high moisture

grain than with dry grain.

Use a motor size at the lower end of the range for dry shelled corn or wheat. For higher moisture grain, use

the upper end of the power range. For units with the reduction gearbox (see chart below) use a motor size

at the lower end of the range, or a size below the recommended range, depending on the capacity required.

Do Not use a motor greater than 20 HP (15.0 kw) on any 8” units.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

(10” Custom Augers)

The power recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain at varying angles. High moisture grain

(above 15%) will require greater power. The maximum possible capacity will be less with high moisture

grain than with dry grain.

Use a motor size at the lower end of the range for dry shelled corn or wheat. For higher moisture grain, use

the upper end of the power range. Do Not use a motor greater than 30 HP (22.4 kw) on any 10” units.

If the flight speed is in excess of what is recommended, excessive wear will result.

If the flight speed is slow and the auger is permitted to “load-up” the high torque required to turn

the auger flighting can result in damage to the auger.

•

Proper flight speed is important for efficient operation.

Flight Speed

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Low Capacity

Note: Motor pulleys are not included with the auger.

The auger may not be getting enough grain. Check intake to make sure grain has not “bridged over”

restricting flow.

The exposed flighting at the intake should be covered with grain to achieve maximum capacity.

Check auger speed. A slow speed (below recommended speed) will result in low capacity.

Auger Plugging

The auger may be getting too much grain and “jammimg” inside the housing. Reduce the amount of garin

being fed into the auger. Check drive belts for proper tension and alignment.

The electric motor may be too small, or wired improperly. If wet grain or other hard to move material is being

augured, a larger size motor, other than what is recommended, may need to be used.

Check to make sure there are no foreign materials, such as tarps, sacks, etc. blocking grain flow. A plug at the

discharge end will cause a plug at the intake end.

Excessive Auger Noise

Damage could have occured to the auger flighting, thus causing the noise. Damage usually occurs because

of foreign material having been run through the auger. It may be necessary to remove the flighting for

inspection. If this is to be done, refer to the Drive Housing Disassembly Instructions on Page 16.

Ensure all safety shields and belt guards are in place

and secured. Never operate the auger without these

devices in place. If missing or damaged, replace them

immediately.

Lubrication

IMPORTANT! The gearbox is shipped without oil.

Oil needs to be added before operation.

Never clean, adjust, lubricate or service

a machine that is in operation.

Page 8

LUBRICATION and MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance and frequent spot checks are

an important part of keeping your auger in good running

condition. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency,

excessive wear and needless down time.

The following information covers items that require

occaisional maintenance and service.

To add oil to the gearbox, remove the vented plug from

the elbow located on the side of the gearbox.

Add approximately 35 oz. (10.5 ml) of an SAE 80W-90

oil until oil level can be seen in the bottom of the elbow.

Do Not add more oil than what is recommended. Too

much oil can damage the seals or be forced through

the vented plug.

Remove Plug from Elbow

Add 35 oz. (10.5 ml) of an

SAE 80W-90 Oil

Gearbox must be in a level position

Fig. 1

Do Not Overfill

Because the applications of the custom augers can

vary from overhead permanent structures to inclined

portables, it is important to keep in mind that the

gearbox will need to be in a level position to properly

check and/or add oil to the gearbox.

Safety Shields and Belt Guards

All augers have a bronnze-with-graphite bearing on

the end plate of the intake section. Although this

bearing does not require lubrication, it should be

checked periodically for excessive wear or damage.

Intake Guard Bearing

The electric motor drive belts should be checked each

time the auger is put into operation.

Check belts for proper tension, cracking or fraying and

tighten or replace as necessary.

Belt tension can be adjusted using the adjustment bolts

in the end of the motor mount. Belts should have

approximately 3/4” (19 mm) of deflection when firmly

pressed in the center span between the pulleys.

If adjustment is required, turn bolts equally to keep

motor pulley in alignment with gearbox pulley. Do Not

overtighten.

Belt Adjustment

As part of the regular maintenance schedule, check

all fasteners, nuts, bolts, set screws etc. for tightness.

Ensure all electrical equipment is operational and in

good working condition.

Check Auger Hardware

After setting idle for a season or after a prolonged

period of shutdown, the auger should be run at partial

capacity until several hundred bushels of grain have

been augured through it.

This allows the flighting and tube to become”polished”

and smooth which is essential to running at full

capacity.

AUGER HOUSING LAYOUT

Choose an area on open level ground accessible to chain hoist or other lifting devices where the auger can be laid

out in full length.

Lay the different sections of tube assemblies in their approximate positions (it will be convenient for assembly if the

tubes are placed on stands or blocks so the drive housings are off the ground with the tubes level).

Note: arrange the “drive tube” sections so the decals are right side up and can easily be viewed.

Some of the parts used in assembly are heavy and may require assistance when lifting and

positioning these parts.

Always wear the proper personal safety equipment when working with metal and power tools.

Be cautious of electrical hazards. Keep work area clean and free from tools and objects that may

cause accidental tripping or falling.

be damaged if operated without oil. Refer to the “Lubrication and Maintenance” Section on Page 8 for proper

filling instructions. After the correct oil level has been achieved, continue with the gearbox and drive housing

assembly instructions on the following page.

Note: the electric drives can only be powered from the right hand side, the gearbox must be mounted with the

oil level fill and check plug to the left side of the auger as shown in the illustration (Fig. 2) on Page 11.

Whenever reference to the front, rear, left or right side of the auger is made, it is always determined by

standing at the inlet end of the auger, looking towards the discharge end.

IMPORTANT! When bolting the flight sections to the gearbox, the orientation of the flight sections is important

for flight balance and smooth operation. Position the ends of the flight sections as shown in Fig 2.

2. Connect the gearbox output shaft to the upper flight (drive tube section) using two (2) 7/16” x 3 1/2” bolts, four

rubber washers, four flat washers and two nylon locknuts (the 10” units use1/2” x 4” bolts and hardware), the

rubber washers should be positioned against the flight with the flat washers on top of them, See Fig. 2). Tighten

the hardware only enough to remove any slack from the bolt stack, the rubber washers should not be

compressed more than 1/16” (1.6 mm).

Connect the lower flight (from the intake section) to the lower output shaft using the same procedures and

hardware used on the upper shaft (See Fig. 2).

3. Slide the intake housing and drive tube housings together so the notches in each housing align with the ears

on the gearbox (although sealant is not furnished with the auger, a sealant may be applied to the flange surface

of the housings). Bolt the housings together using ten (10) 3/8” x 1 1/4” bolts and nylon locknuts (the 10” units use

1/2 x 1 1/4” bolts and hardware). Secure the housing to the gearbox ears using four (4) 3/8” x 1” bolts and locknuts

(the 10” units will use 1/2” x 1” bolts and hardware).

The 32’ Model (without internal bearings) is now ready for installation of the electric motor drive assembly,

refer to Page 14. Continue with the instructions on the following Page (12) for 42’ thru 72’ Models.

See Page 12 for assembly procedures on all units using the optional internal bearing design.

FLIGHT SECTION & HOUSING

1. Before joining the flight and tube sections together,

slide a connecting band onto the end of the lower

tube section and loosely attach the connecting band

using six (6) 3/8” x 1 1/2” bolts and nylon locknuts

(8 bolts on the 10” units).

2. Bolt the flight sections together using 7/16” x 3” bolts

and nylon locknuts (1/2” x 3 1/2” bolts for 10” units).

The flights are indexed to achieve a timed

connection (a timed connection is where the flight

pitch does not change across the connection). When

installed, the lower flight will overlap the upper flight

as shown in Fig. 3 below.

FOR 42’ THRU 72’ MODELS

2. Once the flight sections have been connected, slide

the auger tubes together and position the

connecting band so that half the band is covering

each tube section (See Fig. 4). Tighten the bolts

securing the connecting band making sure the tube

sections stay tight against each other.

Assemble the intake section, gearbox and drive tube

sections as outlined on Pages 10 to 11, then proceed

with the following instructions.

32’ Models, proceed to Step 6 on Page 13, all others

continue with the instructions beginning in Step 1 below.

1. Slide the connecting band onto the end of the lower

tube section and loosely attach the connecting band

using six (6) 3/8” x 1 1/2” bolts and nylon locknuts

(the 10” units will use 8 bolts).

2. Slide an internal bearing hanger over the end of the

connecting stub located on the flight from the drive

tube section (See Fig. 5). The bearing hanger can

then be allowed to rotate downward.

After the intake section, gearbox and drive tube section

have been assembled, continue with the following

assembly procedures for the upper discharge sections

(the 72’ units will have a middle section as well, this

section installs the same as the upper section on the

42’ thru 62’ units).

4. On 72’ units, slide an internal bearing onto the

connecting stub from the middle section. Connect

the flight from the upper discharge section to the

middle section flight and secure using two (2)

7/16” x 3” bolts and nylon locknuts (the 10” units

will use 1/2” x 3 1/2” bolts). The ends of the flights

are indexed the same as the flights previously

installed, make sure to align them in the same

manner.

5. Slide the tube sections together and position the

connecting band so that half the band is covering

each tube section. Tighten the bolts securing the

connecting band.

After all the tube and flight sections have been

connected, the bearing hangers can now be

attached to the tubes.

6. A special “bearing positioning bar” has been

provided to position the bearing hangers for

assembly.

Insert the double bended end of the positioning bar

through the slot in the top of the tube and hook the

bearing hanger stem. Rotate the stem upward as

far as possible (See Fig. 7).

Remove the positioning bar and insert the single

bent end into the slot. Hook the bearing hanger

stem and by pulling upward, rotate it completely

upright (See Fig. 7).

7. Position the bearing hanger so the mounting hole

is visible through the slot in the tube.

Secure the bearing hanger using one mounting

plate, and one 5/8” x 1 1/2” bolt and lock washer

(See Fig. 8).

Before tightening the mounting bolt, adjust the

bearing hanger so it is centered between the ends

of the flights (See Fig. 8). This can be done by

sliding the hanger back and forth in the slot to

determine the approximate center (there should

be equal distance between each end of the flight

and the bearing).

Once the hanger is centered, tighten the mounting

bolt. Repeat the procedures in Steps 6 thru 7 for

any other hanger bearings being used.

ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVE ASSEMBLY

1. Fasten front end of motor mount frame to the drive housing flange with three 1/2” x 1 1/2” bolts and nylon

locknuts (10” units will use four bolts and nylon locknuts).

2. Attach the back end of the motor mount frame to the auger tube with a 6” wide half-band and six 5/16 x 1 1/2”

bolts and nylon locknuts (See Fig. 10).

3. Fasten belt guard bracket to drive housing flange with two 3/8” x 1 1/2” bolts and nylon locknuts (10” units will

use two 1/2” x 1 1/2” bolts and nylon locknuts).

4. Bolt belt guard to the brackets on the motor mount frame with four 5/16” x 1” bolts, flat washers and nylon

locknuts.

Bolt belt guard to the bracket on the drive housing using two 5/16” x 3/4” bolts, flat washers and nylon locknuts.

5. Install required size of electric motor (See chart on Page 6 for power requirements on the 8” units, See Page

7 for power requirements on 10” units).

IMPORTANT! Use the proper size and speed motor to ensure satisfactory conveyor operation. Too small of

a motor will not supply the power required to achieve capacity and possible damage to the motor can occur.

Too large of a motor may cause high stress on conveyor components resulting in shorter life for those

components.

6. Install 4.5” O.D. pulley onto the motor shaft (motor pulley not furnished).

7. Install 15” O.D. pulley with 1/4” square drive key onto gearbox input shaft. Align pulleys by placing a straight

edge across the face of both pulleys. Tighten setscrews in hub to secure pulley to shaft (62’ & 72’ 10” Models

use a tapered lock QD bushing to secure pulley to shaft).

8. Use the adjustment bolts in the end of the motor mount to adjust belt tension. Adjust bolts equally to prevent

binding (Do Not over tighten belts or excessive wear or damage will occur).

Electric Motor Drive Assembly (con’t.)

Fig. 10

Always use a motor with required power suggested in the charts shown on Pages 6 and 7.

Use a motor that operates at 1750 RPM.

Electric motor and controls will be installed by a qualified electrician and must meet the standards set by

the National Electrical Code and all state and local codes.

Reset and motor starting controls may be mounted directly to the auger or in a nearby area but, they must

be located so that the operator has full view of the entire operation from the control location.

A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting or stopping. It should stop the motor

in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor overload. The

motor must then be restarted manually. If this type of motor is used, use only one with manual reset.
