ACCESSING AUGERS
1. Start with the Feedwheel secured in the raised position. Follow all safety procedures in securing the Feedwheel.
2. Remove dust suppression system water lines and tie them back out of the way so as not to be damaged.
3. Remove the bolts holding the Infeed Conveyor to the Cutterhead housing. There are two bolts on each side of the
machine.
4. Remove the bolt from the Infeed Conveyor drive chain guard at the fender mount.
5. Remove the two bolts and nuts holding the Infeed Conveyor to the Recycler’s frame, one on either side near the
hitch end of the Infeed Conveyor.
6. Find the two lock blocks located on the sides of the frame behind the tongue. Slide each block up until they
snap in place between the slats of the Infeed Conveyor chain.
7. Start the engine and feather the Infeed Conveyor chain manual control valve in the reverse direction. The Infeed
Conveyor assembly will slide back about three feet. Be careful not to stretch hydraulic hoses connected to
Infeed Conveyor drive motor.
8. Turn off engine, turn Battery Disconnect Switch off, and you must have the ignition key in YOUR possession.
9. Now that the Infeed Conveyor assembly is slid back you can access the Augers below the Cutterhead.
10. Remove the cover over the auger drives and bearings. The auger chain and sprockets will be revealed.
The auger chain needs to be oiled Daily. New auger chain is installed fairly tight and will loosen up slightly as the
joints set themselves. After the first few weeks of operation the chain drive should be adjusted to have a small
amount of slack. Adjustment is made by loosening the hydraulic motor mount bolts and turning the adjuster bolt to
achieve desired tension. Retighten motor mount bolts.
Check alignment of the sprockets and chain Daily for the first 100 hours of running. New bolts may loosen up and
cause sprockets to move. Once the bolts are retightened they will generally not come loose again. After 100 hours
check alignment monthly.
Check auger bearings for any free play. Replace if needed.
Check the timing on the augers weekly. The timing of the augers is especially crucial when running pallets or
stringy types of materials. Timing of the augers refers to each auger and the one next to it should never have flights
next to each other. The flighting of the augers should stagger the auger next to it. See below.
