4. DRIVELINE SHEAR BOLT
SHEARS FREQUENTLY.
A1. Reduce the flow rate of grain into
the ground hopper.
A. Grain may be flowing too quickly
into the ground hopper.
B. The discharge of grain from the
main auger may be restricted.
B1. Inspect auger intake and dis­
charge areas for damage.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
1. THE AUGER IS
VIBRATING.
A. Damage can occur to the auger
flighting, causing noise.
Damage usually is caused from
foreign materia l be ing run
through the auger.
A1. It may be necessary to remove
the flighting for inspection.
2. CAPACITY IS TOO LOW. A. There may not be enough grain
reaching the auger.
A1. Make sure the intake has not
bridged over, restricting flow.
The flighting at the intake should
be covered with grain for maxi­
mum capacity.
B. The auger is moving too slowly. B1. Check the auger speed. Low
capacity will result from speeds
slower than recommended.
3. THE AUGER PLUGS. A. The auger may be "jamming"
because too much grain is
reaching the auger.
B. The grain may be wet.
B1. If wet grain or other hard­to­
move material is being augered,
reduce the amount of grain
being fed into the swing­away
hopper.
C. The auger may be jammed with
foreign material.
C1. Remove any foreign material
in the auger.
D. The discharge end may be
plugged.
D1. Unplug any plugs at the dis­
charge end of the auger.
A1. Decrease the amount of grain the
auger is gathering.
