Figure 14. Control Unit/Power Unit suspension.
c)Clamp the end of the flex cable in the 90 degree connector
on the motor. Be sure the anti-short bushing is still in place.
d)Install the anti-short bushing supplied with the control unit in
the free end of the flex cable.
e)Run the motor wires through the 90 degree connector
supplied with the control unit and clamp the flex cable in the
connector.
f)Attach the 90 degree connector to the control unit housing.
g) Attach the insulated motor wires to the terminal block in the
control housing: one wire to terminal three (3) and one wire
to terminal four (4). Attach the bare grounding wire to one of
the green colored screws provided for bonding the grounding
wires.
4. Place a tube clamp on the Tube Anchor and connect the Control
Unit/Power Unit assembly to the end of the FLEX-AUGER tube.
Note for steel systems: The Tube Insert must be inserted in the
Tube Anchor Weldment.
Note: The switch in the control unit is a safety back-up switch in
case the feed level switch fails to shut off the system. DO NOT
use the safety switch to control the FLEX-AUGER System, as
feed will bridge in the control, and the motor overload will trip.
5. Support the Power Unit and Control Unit securely. Points are
provided at the gearhead and the tube anchor for hanging the
equipment from the rafters with chain and "S" hooks supplied
with the delivery system. See Figure 14.
NOTE: Other ways of supporting the delivery system can be used
where it is practical, as long as the supports do not allow the
equipment sag or do not make flat spots in the auger tubes.
6. Install the Driver Assembly on the power unit shaft. Start the
socket headed screws but leave the anchor block loose enough
to slip the auger into it.
7. Replace the plastic shipping plug in the gearhead with the vent
plug provided. Discard the Plastic Shipping Plug.
Note: Unit must be protected from the elements. Unit as installed is
not protected from direct rain or snow.
