INSTALLING THE AUGERMATE MOUNTING BRACKET
STEP ONE: To install the Auger-Mate Mounting Bracket, drill four 1/2” holes in the end of the gravity wagon for
each model size indicated below.
STEP TWO: Place the Reinforcing Plates behind the legs of the gravity wagon and align. For model 250-7S
wagons, insert two 1/2” x 3” Bolts through each reinforcing plate so the bolt extends to the outside of the end
panel. Slide one 1” Pipe Spacer on each 1/2” x 3” Bolt and align the Mounting Frame tight against the Pipe
Spacer. Secure the Reinforcing Plate, Pipe Spacers and Mounting Frame to the end panel of the gravity wagon
using 1/2” Lock Nuts. For all other model J&M wagons, use 1/2” x 1 1/2” bolts (without pipe spacers) and place
the Mounting Frame against the wagon.
STEP THREE: Place the Auger-Mate inside the Mounting Bracket and align with the pre-punched holes.
Secure the Auger-Mate to the Mounting Bracket using 1/2” x 1” Bolts, Flat Washers and Lock Nuts provided.
Install the Operating Handle and 1/2” Elbows on the Auger-Mate, then attach the 1/2” x 34” Hydraulic Hoses to
both the Auger-Mate and the auger coupler bracket.
STEP FOUR: Fill gasoline tank with fuel. Fill engine with oil per engine manual instructions. Fill Auger-Mate
oil tank with 10W-30 motor oil, or other good grade hydraulic fluid. Fill within 1-1/2” of full tank (approximately
5 gallons required). Start engine per engine manual. Adjust engine throttle to desired speed (select speed
above or below point where maximum engine vibration is noticed). Re-check oil tank level to 1-1/2” from full.
MODEL 250-7S or 250-7SB
Drill two sets of 1/2” holes (4 total) 39 1/4” apart
in the end panels as shown. The first set of
holes should be centered and located 2” above
the top of the steel runners of the gravity wagon.
The second set of holes should be located 4”
directly above the first set of holes. (Use the
two pipe spacers to offset the mounting bracket
against the bent lip located above the steel
runners.)
MODEL 385SD
Drill two sets of 1/2” holes (4 total) 39 1/4” apart
in the end panels as shown. The first set of
holes should be centered and located 9 1/2”
above the bend in the end of the gravity wagon
as shown. The second set of holes should be
located 4” directly above the first set of holes.
MODEL 440SD, 540SD, 680SD or 760SD
Drill two sets of 1/2” holes (4 total) 39 1/4” apart
in the end panels as shown. The first set of
holes should be centered and located 12” above
the bend in the end of the gravity wagon as
shown. The second set of holes should be
located 4” directly above the first set of holes.
