Model 108 FLEX-AUGER Installation Manual
Bin Location Information
For easiest installation and most trouble-free operation, locate the
feed bin directly in line with the FLEX-AUGER System. The layout
charts on pages 14 through 17 provide some points of reference for
bin placement according to the height at which the system enters
the building. The 30 degree or straight-out boots combined with
various elbow hookups offer a wide range of possibilities. The
charts are only for reference. Modify and adjust elbows and tube
sections as needed.
NOTE: Two 45 degree PVC elbows are standard with Model 108
FLEX-AUGER Delivery Systems. If additional elbows are required
they must be ordered separately.
The bin collar is installed during bin assembly. Chore-Time bins
have a welded collar. Bin Adapter Kits are available to modify
existing bins so that the welded collar can be used. In addition, a
Universal Adapter Plate is available to allow the FLEX-AUGER boot
to be installed to other manufacturers’ bins.
Tighten all bin-seal bolts from the nut side. This prevents cutting
and "spinning out" of the plastic washer.
Boot Installation
1. Insert the upper boot into the bin collar and turn it to line up with
the direction that the auger line will go. The boot must be as far
up into the opening as it will go. Use the holes in the ring for
drilling guides and drill 11/32" (8.8 mm) holes in the upper rim of
the boot. Attach the boot to the bin collar with the hardware
provided. See Figure 1 on Page 19.
IMPORTANT: Failure to install the hardware as shown in
Figure 1 may cause breakage of the red boot body.
2. Attach the transfer plate to the upper boot. Use truss head
bin-seal bolts installed from the inside of the plate, with flat
washers placed under the nuts.
3. Insert the slide into the transfer plate slot so that it is in its
operating position before bolting the slide shield in place.
Remove the paper backing from the sealing strip before
fastening the slide shield to the transfer plate. Use two
5/16-18x3/4" hex head machine screws to secure the shield.
4. Bolt the lower boot to the transfer plate using four 5/16-18x3/4"
hex head machine screws.
5. After the auger tubes and auger have been installed, attach the
6197 Clean-Out Cover Plate or the optional Proximity Boot
Switch to the lower boot.
