• Shock-limit the rate of pressure buildup.
• Higher than-needed working pressures.
• Using smaller than 1/2” hose between tractor and auger hose coupling.
NOTE: Many grain augers run too fast. This is usually the result of modern hydraulic systems, which provide high flow (12 to 25
GPM), at the accessory outlets. When adjustment is provided, the flow should be reduced to 8 to 12 GPM. The lower flow rates
will result in optimum performance of the auger, produce less harm to the material handled, and provide longer wear life of the
flighting. When the auger speed is too fast, it may cause severe vibration, damage, or premature wear of the flighting and tube.
The material handled may incur damage while the rate of discharge may actually be reduced!
