1. Slide first of three connector sleeves (40) halfway onto horizontal unloading tube. Loosely bolt
connector sleeve with 3/8 x 3" bolts, nuts and lock washers.
2. Remove safety shields (48, 47) and shield brackets (46) from vertical auger boot.
3. Slide boot into sleeve (40), positioning on unloading tube so it contacts under-bin unload auger. Slide
unloadingauger 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 halfway up vertical tube of boot. Loosely bolt in place with 3/8 x 3"
bolts, nuts and lock washers.
5. Slide vertical flighting (double flighting at bottom) through boot so that bottom shaft extends through
bearing on bottom of boot.
6. Slide tube (39) over flighting into second connector sleeve so tube contacts boot. Tighten sleeve.
7. Attach third connector sleeve (40) to top half of tube in same manner as previous connector sleeves.
Loosely bolt in place.
8. Slide top spout (1) over flighting while sliding auger shaft through top bearing (4) into connector
sleeve so that top spout is against tube. Rotate spout to desired unloading direction and tighten third
connector sleeve.
9. Place locking collar (5) over top shaft (31). Add spacer (37). Mount pulley (9) on shaft. Drive 5/16 x 1-
3/4" rollpin (11) through hole in shaft just above pulley. Check to be sure rollpin rests against pulley.
Lock locking collar in place on flange bearing (4). Tighten setscrew.
10. Slide second locking collar (5) onto shaft protruding from bottom bearing end plate (Not shown) of
vertical auger and lock in place on flange bearing. Tighten setscrew.
11. Bolt 2-1/2’ truck spout (43) onto top spout using 3/8 x 1-1/2" bolts, nuts and lock washers.
12. Using existing bin bolts, attach support bracket (42) to bin wall about 10' up on vertical tube.
13. Using crane, raise vertical auger into position. Provide temporary blocking under boot. Clamp support
bracket around vertical auger.
14. Tighten bottom, horizontal connector sleeve.
15. 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.
16. Adjust and secure legs of support bracket.
17. Slide third locking collar over unloading shaft from bearing. Tighten setscrew.
18. Remove motor mount and bolt to motor using four 3/8 x 1-1/2" bolts, flat washers and lock washers.
Re-attach motor mount.
19. Re-attach safety shield brackets and inner shields.
20. Align pulley (9) with motor pulley. Insert 1/4" key in key slot and tighten setscrew.
21. Place belts (23) onto pulleys and tighten using motor mount adjustment bolt. Belt tension should be
as low as possible without allowing belts to slip. See belt-adjusting instructions on Page 34.
22. Recheck belt tension before operation. Replace outer section of safety shields. NEVER OPERATE
UNIT WITHOUT SAFETY SHIELDS SECURELY IN PLACE. Make sure all safety decals have been
installed and are legible. See safety section for correct locations and descriptions of safety decals.
