DANGER
Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting
guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good
working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• Do not operate the auger without all
guards, doors, and covers in place.
• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a
stick or other tool to remove an obstruc-
tion or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, ser-
vice, or clean.
USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the large
capacity of some augers. Some augers plug, causing damage to the flighting
and other drive components. This type of damage is not covered by warranty.
Hints on how to avoid this...
• Get a larger spreader, if available.
• Remove the spreader.
• Make sure spreader is turned on.
• Center auger spout on spreader.
• Do not lower auger spout into spreader.
• Suspend the spreader from bin ceiling leaving extra room for excess
grain to flow over the spreader.
BIN LEVEL INDICATORS: These augers are fast and bins fill up quickly. A full
bin will cause auger to plug, which can damage the flighting and other drive
components. Installing quality grain-level indicators on your bins will allow you to
monitor bin filling and help prevent damage to your auger.
