UNI-SWIVEL HYDRAULIC AUGER INSTALLATION

Measure the distance between the angle irons to
the left and right of the door on your gravity box.
Adjust the dimensions of your hopper to best fit
between the angle irons. Use (6) - 3/8” x 3/4” hex
bolts and lock nuts and 12 washers to fasten the
adjusting ends of the hopper to the center base. Use
the 3/8” x 1/2” stove bolts and nuts to “plug” holes
not used in the adjustment. Attach the Flat Attaching
Brackets to the existing hole in the door angle iron
using the bottom hole in the Flat Attaching Bracket.
Drill 13/32” hole into the door angle iron and secure
the top of the Flat Attaching Bracket using (2) - 3/8”
hex bolts and lock nuts. (Some adjustment may be
required on some makes of gravity boxes). Place
newly assembled Quick-Attach hopper on the gravity
box by guiding the 1-3/4” pins of the hopper wings
down the slots in the Flat Attaching Brackets.
Secure 3/4” Flat Washers on the outside of the Flat
Attaching Bracket by inserting 3/16” hair pins into
the 1-3/4” pins on the hopper wings. Clip 3/8” x 1”
Tab Bolt with Wing Nut to bottom flange of hopper
and attach to angle iron of box under door.

Place the 1/2” curved rod weldment to the top lip of the
gravity box by centrally locating it above the door. Drill (4)
- 13/32” holes through the top lip of the box (also through
sideboard lip if so equipped) using the end tap holes as
guides. Attach using (4) - 3/8” x 1” hex bolts, lock nuts
and washers. Secure (1) - 5/16” Shackle to the center
hole in the curved rod weldment. Loop the 3/16” safety
cable through the shackle and securely clamp together
using a 3/16” cable clamp. Position the auger on the
ground below the hopper. (Place on blocks to raise the
auger up.) Lay the safety cable under the 1/2” curved rod
and attach the safety cable to the auger using the top
hole of the auger cable mounting tab by looping the end
of the 3/16” cable through the hole and securing using a
3/16” cable clamp. Lift the base of the auger up to the
bottom of the 3-Piece Adjustable Hopper, align holes, and
attach using (6) - 3/8” x 1” hex bolts and lock nuts. (Note:
Place the front two bolts and lock nuts in first, then vise-
grip both sides of the hopper to the flange on the auger,
then complete bolting together.)
