Model 108 FLEX-AUGER Installation Manual
Maintenance of the FLEX-AUGER System
The FLEX-AUGER Feed Delivery System requires minimum
maintenance. However, a routine periodic inspection of the
equipment will prevent unnecessary problems.
Maintenance should be done by a qualified technician.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE SYSTEM WHEN
SERVICING OR MAINTAINING THE EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO
DISCONNECT POWER MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Periodically check and tighten the delivery system hardware.
2. Grease boot bearings on grease fittings regularly, using an auto-
motive or industrial type grease.
3. Keep the FLEX-AUGER tubes level. Adjust if necessary. Wear in-
creases at the points where tubes sag.
4. Replace the Plastic Shipping Plug in the power unit gear head
with the Vented Plug during installation of the Power Unit.
5. Check the oil level in the gear heads at installation and every 6
months. The Pipe Plug, on the side of the gear head, indicates
proper oil level. AddSAE 40W oil when necessary.
The oil in the gear heads should be replaced every 12 months
with new SAE 40W oil.
A. Remove the bottom Pipe Plug to drain the oil. Discard used
oil in accordance with local and national codes.
B. Wipe any debris off the magnet on the bottom Pipe Plug and
reinstall. Remove the side Pipe Plug and (top) Vent Plug.
C. Set the power unit in the horizontal position.
D. 2-Stage Gear Heads: Add approximately 9 oz. (266 ml) of
SAE 40W oil through top hole. This should be just enough oil
to reach the side Pipe Plug.
3-Stage Gear Heads (3261-9, 3261-12, 3261-14): Add
approximately 13 oz. (384 ml) of SAE 40W oil through top
hole. This should be just enough oil to reach the side Pipe
Plug.
E. Install the side Pipe Plug and (top) Vent Plug.
6. If the system is not to be used for an extended period of time,
remove all the feed from the auger lines.
Disconnect power to the system to prevent accidentally starting
the system.
