7. Operation
Utility Augers Only
Utility augers are primarily designed as portable units. These augers are not designed for permanent
installations. A utility auger has many different uses. Since it is not sold with an undercarriage or other
method of support, it must be supported by the user satisfactorily for the specific job. Always be sure to
fasten the discharge and intake end in place so the auger will stay in place throughout operation.
Bulk Tank Augers
Bulk tank augers are primarily designed for use in bulk tank unloading augers only. These units are not
furnished with intake guards. THEY ARE TO BE USED ONLY IN A BULK TANK. If removed with the
intention of using as a utility auger, an intake guard is required, order from parts page, and install prior
to use.
Since it is not sold with an undercarriage or other method of support, it must be supported by the user
satisfactorily for the specific job. Always be sure to fasten the discharge and intake end in place so the
auger will stay in place throughout operation.
Full Load Operating Procedures
It is good practice to visually inspect the auger periodically during the actual operation. You should be alert
for unusual vibrations, noises and the loosening of any fasteners.
Before operating augers be sure all personnel are clear.
Observe work area restrictions. Make certain everyone is clear before operating
the machine.
