Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA August 2021 40 Grow-FlexTM Feed System 4. Cut off auger approximately 6 inches past unloader. 5. Run system without anchor bearing or feed in the line for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, lock out power to drive unit. 6. Pull on the cut end of the auger at the unloader a couple of times until it begins to stretch and then release it slowly. This will relax the auger to its natural length. STEPS 5 & 6 ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW NEW AUGER TO FIND ITS NATURAL LENGTH PRIOR TO STRETCHING PROCESS. 7. While the auger is relaxed, mark the auger where it exits the unloader. For single bin system, stretch the auger 2 inches for every 50 feet of system length. If it is a tandem system, stretch the auger 4 inches for every 50 feet. Mark and cut the auger at that stretched length. Note: For ease of cutting, pull the auger an additional 6 to 8 inches from unloader and use locking pliers to secure the auger prior to cutting. 8. With locking pliers still attached, insert auger over the anchor and through the Auger Clamp until auger touches Anchor Bearing. Figure 18 shows the proper assembly of the Model 55 unloader components. Torque the set screw into Auger Clamp 10-12 ft.-lbs. Over tightening the set screw may cause damage to the Auger Clamp.
