MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
4. Install bolts. Remove nearest access cover (A) to
access inside of drum to install nuts. Tighten all
hardware.
5. Replace access cover, and add Loctite
®
#272 to cover
hardware to prevent it from coming loose.
NOTE:
Ideally the flighting extensions will fit tight to the
auger tube. However, it is not unusual for the
right-hand flighting extension to overlap a cover
panel causing a gap to the auger tube. Even with
no interference with a cover it is not uncommon to
have a gap. Crop material may hairpin in this gap
but generally this will not affect performance. If
desired, silicone sealant may be used to fill these
gaps, preventing material from catching in gap.
