GSi 8" - Assembling the Sweep Flighting to the Backshield (60 - 72 Bins)

Chapter 3: Installation
Assembling the Sweep Flighting to the Backshield (60' - 72' Bins)
For sweeps up to 54' diameter bins, the sweep flighting is pre-assembled to the shield before being
shipped. For sweeps above 60' diameter bins, the sweep flighting and the shield are not pre-assembled
and will need to be assembled before installing them to the U-joint shaft attached to the gearbox.
1. Attach the first hanger bracket assembly (86) to the backshield (84) using two 7/16" x 1-1/4" HHCS
bolts (14) and 7/16" flange nuts (37).
2. Slide the connecting shaft (87) into the hanger bracket assembly (86).
3. Attach the first flight section (85) to one end of the connecting shaft (87) using two 5/8" x 4" HHCS
bolts (15) and 5/8" stover nuts (49).
NOTE: Make sure to assemble the augers with the Dura-Edge® on the grain side (discharge to the
pivot) of the flighting.
NOTE: For proper flight identification, see Backshield with Five Augers for Standard Sweeps (60'
and 66' Bins), page 92 and Backshield with Six Augers for Standard Sweeps (72' Bins),
page 94.
