Adequate support must be provided to prevent the tubes from sagging and
support the weight of the Control Unit. The auger, tubes, and feed weigh ap-
proximately 6 lbs/ft. (9 kg/m). The Control Unit weighs approximately 80 lbs.
(36 kg).
Line lengths specified allow for two 45 degree elbows in the elevation. Re-
duce line length by 30’ (9 m) for each additional horizontal 90 degree elbow.
For Tandem Systems, raise the horsepower one size over recommendations
in the table below or reduce line length by 50’ (15.4 m).
Note: If voltage supplied is 208V, reduce the line lengths by 20%.
Horsepower requirements are based on length of the FLEX-AUGER System
and type of system installed--number of turns, tandem systems, etc. The
charts included show maximum line lengths for FLEX-AUGER Systems plus
maximum lengths for systems using Extension Hoppers. Refer to the Exten-
sion Hopper instruction (MA709, Model 55, 90, & HMC systems only).
