What to do if the Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 delivery system will not run?
- I
  ipattersonAug 21, 2025
  If the Chore-Time Industrial Equipment delivery system isn't running, first check the circuits, fuses, and on-off switches on the equipment. Also, check the feed supply and look for possible bridging if the bin level switch has stopped the system. Another cause may be a motor overload, so check for foreign material and push the motor reset button. Lastly, check if the safety switch in the Control Unit is activated, indicated by a red pilot light. Determine the reason for feed packing in the Control Unit or if the feed level switch is out of adjustment.

Why does the Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Industrial Equipment motor overload after running briefly?
- S
  Sherri WallAug 22, 2025
  If the motor in your Chore-Time Industrial Equipment overloads after running briefly, several factors could be at play. It's possible the motor is too small for the line length, in which case you should use the recommended size. Low voltage can also cause this, so check the line voltage at the motor and ensure adequate wire size. Another cause could be a foreign object in the auger, so check the auger line and remove any obstructions. Also, verify the motor wiring is correct, as incorrect wiring can cause stalling and lack of feed conveyance. Check for Anchor binding. Finally, wet feed or a defective motor could be the issue; clean the auger and tubes, avoid conveying wet feed, and consider replacing the motor.

How to reduce excessive auger vibration and noise in Chore-Time Industrial Equipment?
- S
  shelly40Aug 25, 2025
  Excessive auger vibration and noise in Chore-Time Industrial Equipment can stem from a few issues. Operating the system too often without feed can score the auger tubes, so wire a Boot Switch to stop the system when the feed bin is empty, replace damaged auger tubes, and ensure the auger has the proper amount of stretch. Also, make sure the tubes are adequately supported every 5’ (1.5 m) or closer. Finally, horizontal L.H. turns can cause this, so ensure there are no outlet drops on or just before an elbow; lengthen the auger; install an Extension Hopper ahead of elbows.

What to do if the Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Industrial Equipment motor runs, but the auger does not turn?

  If the Chore-Time Industrial Equipment motor runs, but the auger doesn't turn, it could be due to a sheared driver bolt at the Control Unit, so replace the driver bolt. Alternatively, there might be a broken power unit pinion. Examine the pinion on the motor shaft; replace BOTH gear head and pinion if the pinion is damaged.

Why do elbows wear out on Chore-Time Industrial Equipment?
- T
  tashasmithAug 28, 2025
  Elbows on Chore-Time Industrial Equipment wear out because the auger is stretched too tight, there is a horizontal L.H. turn, or the auger has been run dry. To fix this, lengthen the auger, install an Extension Hopper, and wire a Boot Switch into the system.

Why does my Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Industrial Equipment fill system short cycle?
- S
  stacy93Aug 30, 2025
  If your Chore-Time Industrial Equipment fill system short cycles, it's likely that the control end feed level switch does not provide a large enough feed differential. To solve this, use a time clock to program operating cycles, or use a control end feed level switch with lockout and a time clock.

What causes the Extension Boot to pack full of feed in Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108?
- R
  Reginald WebbAug 31, 2025
  If the Extension Boot packs full of feed in your Chore-Time Industrial Equipment, it's likely due to too much Restrictor in the Boot. To resolve this, shorten the Restrictor.

Why does the second portion of my extended length Chore-Time FLEX-AUGER 108 Industrial Equipment system short cycle?
- E
  Eric ReillySep 2, 2025
  If the second portion of your extended length Chore-Time Industrial Equipment system short cycles, it could be due to too much Restrictor in the Boot, so shorten the Restrictor. Also, too much feed might still be dispensing from drops ahead of the Extension Boot. The last outlet drop before the Extension Boot must have a full feed drop out, and all feeders ahead of the Extension Boot must complete filling before feed reaches the hopper.

What to do if Chore-Time Farm Equipment delivery system will not run?
- J
  joseph79Sep 4, 2025
  If the Chore-Time Farm Equipment delivery system isn't running, there could be several reasons. First, check the circuits, fuses, and on/off switches to ensure the system is receiving power. Another reason could be that the bin level switch has stopped the system because of a lack of feed. In this case, check the feed supply and for possible bridging. Also, the motor might be overloaded and stopped. Check for any foreign material in the line and push the motor reset button. Finally, the safety switch in the Control Unit might be activated. If the red pilot light is lit, determine the reason for feed packing in the Control Unit and check if the feed level switch is out of adjustment.

Why is Chore-Time Farm Equipment experiencing excessive auger vibration and noise?
- N
  Nathaniel BryantSep 7, 2025
  Excessive auger vibration and noise in your Chore-Time Farm Equipment can occur due to several reasons. If the system has been operated too often without feed, the auger may have scored the auger tubes. To prevent this, wire a Boot Switch to stop the system when the feed bin is empty, replace any damaged auger tubes, and ensure the auger has the proper amount of stretch. Insufficient support for the tubes can also cause vibration; ensure the tubes are supported every 5’ (1.5 m) or closer. A horizontal L.H. turn can also contribute to the noise, so avoid outlet drops on or just before an elbow, lengthen the auger, and install an Extension Hopper ahead of elbows.
