Auger Installation (Continued)
7. Draw the auger out of the tubing as far as required. Measure the length between the mark and the
unloader inlet. Mark the auger again at the unloader inlet when properly stretched. (See Figure 5V
on Page 28.) Stretching the auger too far will cause premature wear at the inside bends of the
PVC tubing. Stretching the auger not far enough will cause premature wear at the outside bends of
the PVC tubing.
8. For ease of trimming the auger, pull the auger out an additional 8'' (20 cm) past the mark and
clamp it at the unloader. This clamping releases tension at the mark and thus eases cutting.
(See Figure 5W.)
9. Twist the unloader anchor into the auger and clasp the auger end in the clamp pin.
10. Mount the anchor in the unloader.
11. Place the cannonball inside the unloader.
12. Mount the cover on the control unit.
13. Place the inspection/clean-out plate in the unloader.

Brazing the Auger
1. Make sure both ends are cleaned.
2. Position the auger in an angle iron and clasp it securely to align it for brazing. (See Figure 5X.)
3. Braze both ends together. Use a bronze flux-coated rod. Make sure the auger does not get too hot
which might cause the auger to warp.
4. After the brazing is performed, the joint should be allowed to air cool.
5. Once the auger has cooled, install the auger with the brazed joint closer to the power unit.
