Note:
The gearbox is sent from the factory filled half way with gear oil. Before further
assembly, check oil level to make certain the gearbox is half full. Add oil if
necessary. Do not use grease.
Note:
The boot flighting comes pre-installed on the end of the lower tube flighting shaft.
1. Remove the 7/8” x 6” bolt and locknut that secures the boot flighting to the
lower shaft flighting. Place the bolt and nut aside for use refastening the
flighting later in the procedure.
2. Position the boot plate against the boot with flat edge facing up (See Figure
3.11), and fasten with two 5/8” x 1-1/2” GR8 bolts at the top of the plate
inserted from the boot side of the flange and 5/8” locknuts.
3. Slip the boot assembly over the boot flight/lower flighting assembly, angling
the boot where required for fit, and rotating the boot flighting during inserting
until the boot, boot attach plate, and lower tube flange are aligned and in full
contact.
4. Attach the boot to the lower tube flange according to the following bolt usage:
a. eight 5/8” x 2” GR8 bolts and locknuts (four on each side),
b. three 5/8” x 1-1/2” GR8 bolts and locknuts (at the top),
c. three 5/8” x 2-1/2” GR8 bolts and locknuts (at the bottom).
5. Fasten the boot flighting to the lower tube flighting using the 7/8” x 6” bolt and
locknut removed in Step 1.
