4. Install bolts. Remove nearest access cover (A)
to access inside of drum to install nuts. Tighten
all hardware.
5. Replace access cover, and add Loc tite
®
#272 to cover
hardware to prevent it from coming loose.
NOTE:
Ideally the fligh ting extensions will fit tight to the
auger tube. However, it is not unusual for the
right-hand flighting extension to overlap thee cover
panel causing a gap to the auger tube. Even with
no interfe rence with the cover, it is not uncommon
to have a gap. Crop material may hairpin in this
gap, but generally this will not affect performance. If
desired, silicone se alant ma y be us ed to fill these
gaps, preventing material from catching in gap.
