capacity until it becomes polished and smooth. Several hundred bushels
of grain should be run before operating at full cap acity.

and break-in. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger, disconnect and lockout the power supply before servicing.
Visually inspect the auger periodically during the operation.
