Start the Auger
A. Start the auger.
B. Run the auger through a “break-in” period if it is being used for the first time or for the first time of
the season.
C. Polish the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting
to run it at full capacity.
CAUTION
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load. Doing so may cause the
auger to jam.
Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during the
“break-in” period.
CAUTION
NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of time
will cause excessive wear.
NEVER operate the auger at speeds higher than recommended. Auger flight speed
in excess of recommended speed causes excessive wear.
CAUTION
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.
CAUTION
