Model 108 FLEX-AUGERļ Installation Manual
Start-Up Procedure for New Systems
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.
