PNEG-1391 8",10", & 12" BE-SAW Augers
4. OPTIONAL 10" & 12" LOW PROFILE HOPPER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (See Figure 4-A)
Install bolt heads to the
inside and DO NOT tighten
completely. The coupler
box must be able to pivot.
Do NOT tighten the nuts
down. The lid straps must
be allowed to slide when
the incline tube is tilted at
different angles.
There are two installation
heights for the hopper wheels.
For the shortest hopper
profile, use the upper set of
holes. Also use the holes to
angel the wheels by using
opposite holes.
B. Fasten the U- Joint to the incline tail stub us-
ing one 3/8" x 3" long (grade 5) HHCS and
stover nut.
C. Connect the U-Joint to the power shaft in the
swing-out hopper using one (1) 3/8" x 3" long
(grade 5) HHCS and stover nut.
D. Fasten the lower end of the incline tube to the
front of the swing away hopper. Use two 1/2"
x 1-1/2" long (grade 5) HHCS, flat washers,
and nylon locknuts.
E. Bolt hopper lid to the front of the swing out
hopper using three (3) 5/16" x 3/4" long (grade
5) HHCS flat washers, and nylon locknuts.
F. Install lid strap onto 3/8" stubs welded onto
lower end of incline tube. Hold the straps on
the stud with 3/8" nylon locknuts.
G. Low Profile Swing-Out Hopper Rubber
Belting Assembly (See Figure 4-A)
1. Install the rubber belting into the inside of
the swing out hopper. Use ten (10) long
and four (4) short attachment clips to install
the belting. Two (2) 1/4" x 1" long hex head
capscrews and nylon locknuts are used
for each clip. Loosely attach each clip with
grip teeth of clips up and with bolt heads
inside the hopper. Use bolt holes
positioned around upper edge of hopper.
2. Set the belting inside the clips with the
belting edge resting on the bolts. (See
Figure 4-C) The belting does not go
completely across the output end of the
hopper. The belting is notched to
accommodate the center guard support
at the rear of the hopper. Begin installing
the belting at this point and work each way
toward the hopper discharge. Keep the
belting end within one inch of the clip end.
Position the belting evenly around the
hopper and through the corners.
3. Tighten the bolts and nuts to where the
clip points draw into the belting and the
smooth edge of the clips is in contact with
the belting.
A. Install the hopper wheels to the hopper using
four (4) 5/8" x 9-3/4" long clevis pins, four (4)
wheel spacer bushings and four (4) 1-1/4"
cotter pins. Install the hopper wheels so the
front wheels are tilted in towards the incline
tube and the rear wheels are tilted away from
the hopper chain guard. Basically, you want
to tilt your wheels so they follow the arc made
when you move the hopper. (See detail 4-B)
