Installation
Basic Vertical Auger
To aid in part identification during assembly, see Pages 50-51.
1. Slide connector sleeve (13) halfway onto unloading tube. Loosely bolt with 3/8 x 3” bolts, lock
washers and nuts. See Pages 35-37 for instructions on installation of sump openers.
2. Remove safety shield assembly from vertical auger boot.
3. Slide boot into sleeve (13) positioned on under-bin unloading tube so it contacts under-bin unloading
tube. Slide unloading auger shaft through flange bearing of boot while sliding tube together. Boot
should be tight against under-bin unload tube. Rotate boot to right for assembly of vertical auger.
4. Slide second connector sleeve (13) halfway up vertical tube of boot. Loosely bolt in place with 3/8 x
3” bolts, nuts and lock washers.
5. Slide vertical auger flighting (23) (double flighting at bottom) through boot so that bottom shaft
extends through bearing on bottom of boot.
6. Slide tube (15) over flighting into second connector sleeve so that tube contacts boot. Tighten
connector sleeve.
7. Attach third connector sleeve (13) to top half of tube (15). Loosely bolt in place.
8. Slide top spout (11) over flighting while sliding top auger shaft (2) through top bearing (4) into
connector sleeve so that top spout contacts tube. Rotate spout to desired unloading direction and
tighten connector sleeve.
9. Place locking collar (22) over top shaft (2). Drive 5/16 x 1-3/4” rollpin (1) through hole in shaft just
above bearing and collar. Check to be sure rollpin rests against locking collar. Lock locking collar on
flange bearing and tighten setscrew on locking collar.
10. Slide second locking collar onto shaft protruding from bearing end plate (Not shown) at bottom of
vertical auger and lock in place on flange bearing. Tighten setscrew.
11. Bolt 2-1/2' truck spout (12) onto top spout (11) using 3/8 x 1-1/2" bolts, nuts and lock washers.
12. Using crane, raise vertical auger into position. Provide temporary blocking under boot. Clamp support
bracket(s) around vertical auger.
13. Tighten bottom, horizontal connector sleeve.
14. Adjust threaded support jack bolt on boot to carry load of vertical auger. Remove temporary blocking
under auger. Check to see that tube and auger are aligned.
15. Using existing bin bolts, attach support brackets (14) to bin wall about 10’ up on vertical tube. If bin
has outside stiffeners, attach brackets to stiffeners (holes may need to be drilled). Adjust and secure
legs of support brackets.
16. Slide locking collar over unloading shaft from horizontal auger. Lock in place on flange bearing.
Tighten setscrew.
17. Ensure all safety shields are in place and bolts are tight. NOTE: Safety shield brackets and inner
shields must be installed before pulleys.
