Model 108 FLEX-AUGER Installation Manual
Auger Installation
Use extreme caution when working with the auger. The auger is under
tension and may spring causing injury. Always wear protective clothing
and protective glasses when working with the auger.
Handle the FLEX-AUGER carefully. Dropping the rolls of auger may
cause the auger to kink. Do not install an auger that has a sharp kink
in it. The kink will cause the auger to wear a hole in the tube at that
spot. If the kink cannot be straightened with pliers, the kink must be
cut out and the auger brazed back together. Refer to the "Auger Braz-
ing" section in this manual for the correct brazing procedure.
1. Beginning at the boot, push the auger into the auger tube through
the rear of the boot until the auger reaches the control unit end of
the line.
Use extreme caution when pushing the auger into the auger tubes. Keep
your hands away from the end of the Boot to avoid injury.
2. Attach the auger to the Driver Assembly by rotating the driver and
threading the auger through the Anchor Clamp.
3. Rotate the auger so that it is fully engaged on the Driver Assembly.
Tighten the screws securely to clamp the auger to the Driver As-
sembly. See Figure 15.
4. Attach the drop tube and install the slide cover on the control unit.
5. Pull on the loose end of the auger at the boot once or twice until it
begins to stretch, then release it slowly. This will bring the auger to
its natural length.
Note: For ease of cutting, measure and mark the auger at the point
where it is to be cut. Then, pull the auger an additional 6-8" (150-200
mm) and use locking pliers to clamp the auger while you cut it.
Belt Drive Control Unit Installation
The Belt Drive Control Unit installation is much the same as the direct
drive unit. Mount the Belt Drive Adapter and Motor to the control unit,
then proceed with installation to the auger tube as described in this
manual. Page 46 can be used as an assembly guide for the Belt Drive
Control Unit.
