6. Start-Up
PNEG-720-G2 12" and 16" Series II Sweep 63
Start the Auger
A. If equipped, 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 receptacle to prevent accidental electric shock and/or overloads.
B. Step on the foot switch and press the “Start” button.
C. 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.
D. “Polish” the flighting by running the auger at partial capacity until it is smooth, before attempting
full capacity.
CAUTION
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load.
CAUTION
Failures may occur if the auger is run full before it has been “polished” during
the “break-in” period.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up and
“break-in” period. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger and disconnect and lock out the power supply before servicing.
