LUBRICATION
Oil or grease periodically or as needed:
• Clean-out door of hopper
• Pivots on bottom of auger and sides of hopper
• Winch (gears, bearings, and handle)
• Pulleys (swivel cable and winch cable)
STORAGE / MAINTENANCE
Your auger is an important investment. Spend a little
time to protect it from destructive rust and corrosion.
You will be repaid in longer service life and better
performance.
DO THE FOLLOWING AFTER USE:
1. Clean out the auger / hopper. Use pressurized
water to wash out the auger and hopper after
using fertilizers.
2. Wipe off the following:
• hydraulic valve
• motor
• hydraulic hoses and fittings
3. Check the following:
• Winch, swivel cable, and safety chain for
wear and looseness
• Spout clamp rings
• Hopper mounting bolts for proper adjustment
• Cable ties for tightness
• Valve, motor, hoses, and fittings for leaks,
etc.
DO THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PLACING THE
AUGER IN STORAGE:
• Repaint any chipped or scraped areas
• Inspect for damaged or worn parts and replace
before next season
• Store unit inside, away from livestock
NOTE: Be sure the winch is not damaged or worn.
Take extra precaution when inspecting, not doing so
could result in failure of the winch. If removing auger
from gravity box, remove the hopper to allow auger
the ability to reach the ground after the safety chain
has been disconnected.
BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR AUGER HYDRAULICS
SYMPTOMS REMEDIES
A. Auger will not turn over or develop proper speed or torque:
1. Pump does not deliver pressure or volume
2. Auger mechanism binding
3. Wrong hose hook-up to tractor control levers
4. Insufficient tractor hydraulic pressure
5. Hydraulic components leaking oil
6. Hydraulic hoses kinked or twisted
7. Malfunction of hydraulic components
1. Check output and delivery -- repair if necessary
2. Check for cause and correct
3. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for valve
and control lever arrangement
4. Check hydraulic reservoir oil level
5. Find cause and correct
6. Find cause and correct
7. Isolate problem area (repair as necessary)
