Chapter 4: Operation
Adjusting the Sweep Wheel
If there is an interference between the sweep flight and bin door, the length of the auger and the
backshield can be modified as required.
Remove the six 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts (26) and 3/8" flange nuts (40) installed to the wheel mount
(98). Slide the wheel mount (98) in/out to the required length and align with the holes in the
backshield (84). Re-install the 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts (26) and 3/8" flange nuts (40).
NOTE: Sliding the wheel mount (98) will also change the position of the last flight section. Make
sure to rotate the last flight section while sliding the wheel mount.
Tip
It is easier to rotate the last flight if the sweep wheel shaft is first disconnected from the last flight
section, before making any length changes to the wheel mount (98). Re-connect the sweep wheel
shaft to the last flight section.
