5. Operation Procedures
PNEG-1079 6", 8" and 10" Vertical Bin Unload Auger 21
Check the Following before Adding Power
1. Double check to make sure the guards are secured in place and functional.
To Start Auger
1. Start electric motor before conveying grain.
To Stop Auger
1. Let auger empty of grain before stopping.
2. Shut off electric motor and lock out.
Normal Shut Down
Make certain that the auger is empty before stopping the unit. Before the operator leaves the work area,
the power source shall be locked out.
(See Lock Out below.)
Intermittent Operation Shut Down
When an auger is stopped and restarted under full load, it may result in damage to the auger. Therefore,
if intermittent operation is to be carried out, it is advisable to reduce the load level. When kept from
absolute filling, auger start-up is easier and operation is more efficient.
Emergency Shut Down
Should the auger be immediately shut down under load, first disconnect and lock out all power source.
Clear as much grain from the auger as you can using the clean-out doors. Never attempt to restart auger
when full.
NOTE: Starting the unit under load may result in damage to the auger. Such damage is considered
abuse of the equipment. When as much grain as possible has been cleared, reconnect power
source and clear auger gradually.
Lock Out
PTO Drive: Remove ignition key or coil wire from power source. (If this is impossible, remove
the PTO driveline from the work area.)
Electric Motor Drive: Use a main disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position.
Whenever you must service or adjust the equipment, make sure to stop motor
and lock out the power source.
DANGER
If the operator must leave the work area or whenever servicing or adjusting, the
unloading auger must be stopped and the power source locked out. Precautions
should be made to prevent anyone from operating the auger when the operator
is absent from the work area.
