2. START THE AUGER
A. Plug the two (2) motors, foot switch, and thermal protection cords into the bottom of the control
panel while making sure they are locked into the recepticles. Each plug is different and can only
be plugged into one (1) receptacle to prevent accidental electric shock and/or overloads.
B. Step on the foot switch and press the "Start" button.
B. Run the auger through a “break-in” period, if it is being used for the first time or for the first time of
the season.
C. "Polish" the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting full
capacity.
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load.
Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during
the “break-in” period.
NEVER operate the auger empty. Operating augers empty for any length of
time will cause excessive wear. NEVER operate the auger at speeds higher
than recommended. Auger flight speed in excess of recommended speed
causes excessive wear.
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shutdown the
auger, and disconnect and lockout the power supply before servicing.
