FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery System Start-Up Procedure for New Systems
35
MA1032F
DO NOT RUN FEED THROUGH A NEW SYSTEM UNTIL AFTER THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN
FOLLOWED OR THE AUGER WILL PLUG AND BIND.
1.Close the slide on the FLEX-AUGER boot.
2.Operate the system empty for one minute.
3.Open the slide on the FLEX-AUGER boot no more than 1 inch (25 mm) to allow some feed into the
boot.
4.Operate the system with the slide in this position until feed has been conveyed into the building at
least 5 minutes. This removes the manufacturing grease and oil from the auger and tubes. If this
grease and oil is not removed, the feed may ball up causing the auger to plug and bind.
5.Now the slide can be fully opened and the system operated normally.
