Grain Systems Unload Augers PNEG-1421 - Manual (Page 42)

5. Operation
42 PNEG-1421 Direct Gear Drive Bin Sweep Auger (with Roller Wells)
B. For 8" and 10" systems
1. Start the unloading auger. The motor is located on the power head outside the bin on the unload
tube. To find the horsepower needed for the equipment, use the horsepower chart on Page 36 .
2. Make sure the center well bolt is inserted through the rack and pinion tube and center well control
rod. Make sure the intermediate well control rod is not attached to the center well control rod.
(See Figure 5G.)
Figure 5G
3. Using the wrench on rack and pinion, open center gate until desired flow is established.
It should not be necessary to open gate more than 3" to 6". Do not open the gate more than
3" to 6" as the flow of grain into the center well will be at a higher rate than what the unload system
can remove. This will cause auger to plug or jam.
4. Always close the well gates and allow the unloader to clean out before stopping the unloader.
5. When grain flow stops from the center well, close the center well gate. Insert the intermediate
well bolt through the intermediate well control rod and the center well control rod. Remaining
grain should look like
Figure 5D on Page 41 .
6. Gradually open the gates until the desired flow of grain is reached. You should not open the gate
more than 2" to 4". The remaining grain should look like Figure 5F on Page 41 .
