100 SERIES ONE-MAN AUGER
FORM GOM08042002US, VERSION 1.0
English-EN 16
REPLACING WORN AUGER BIT BLADE
Application: All 1 inch diameter drive connection, 4 inch diameter auger bits or
larger.
Tools Required:
1 each, safety glasses
2 each, 7/16 inch (12 mm) wrenches
Parts Required:
1 each, PN BR10631, 4 inch (101.6 mm) diameter auger bit blade
1 each, PN BR10632, 6 inch (152.4 mm) diameter auger bit blade
1 each, PN BR10633, 8 inch (203.2 mm) diameter auger bit blade
Required Quantity: 15040600 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch bolt and 52040000 1/4-20 nut
All blades use 1/4 inch (7 mm) diameter capscrews and locknuts to retain blade
to auger bit boring head. Each blade incorporates a minimum of two
capscrews. Auger bits with only one capscrew visible and/or usable is worn
beyond useful service life and must be discarded.
NOTE: Replacement of auger bit blade will require level working platform of
appropriate size and height.
1. Using 7/16 inch (12 mm) wrenches, loosen capscrews and remove worn
blade from auger bit plate. Remove any accumulated dirt from auger bit
plate area. Install replacement blade with bevel of blade teeth and
capscrew threads facing up toward auger bit hub. Tighten firmly with
wrenches.
NOTE: Replacement blade will extend past outside diameter of auger bit plate
for added component wear protection.
2. Return auger bit back to service.
12 SERVICE/REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
The following information is intended for non-scheduled service/repair
situations when specific issues arise affecting Auger performance. Information
is for reference only and is not intended to be all inclusive.
1. Use factory approved replacement parts/accessories only for servicing/
repair purposes.
2. All service/repairs not described in this operator manual must be done by
a dedicated service center following a specific service/repair manual.
3. STOP Auger BEFORE performing service and repair per STOPPING
AUGER in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of Operator’s Manual.
4. All engine service/repairs should be done according to contents of engine
manufacturer material.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE SERVICING
Pressure relief valve is located on transmission cover top surface to relieve
excess pressure in transmission due to heat rise. If valve becomes plugged,
the following problems can occur:
a) Transmission grease can be forced out between bearings and
driveshaft.
b) Gasket separating transmission cover and case can push out,
causing loss of transmission grease.
1. To minimize issues, clean pressure relief valve with safety type solvent
when replacing centrifugal clutch rotor and shoe assembly or clutch drum
and pinion assembly.
CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH ROTOR/SHOE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION
The Auger utilizes an all metal centrifugal clutch rotor and shoe assembly that
expands with engine RPM to engage clutch drum and transfer torque. The
clutch rotor and shoe assembly is mounted to the engine crankshaft. Clutch
assembly replacement symptoms include the following:
a) Excessive clutch slippage and auger stalling at full, governed
engine speed.
b) Partial clutch engagement (and resulting auger bit rotation) at
specified engine idle speed.
To replace clutch assembly, proceed as follows:
Tools Required:
1 each, 7/16 inch (12 mm) wrench
1 each, 17 mm socket with impact wrench
1 each, torque wrench, 120 inch pounds (13.4 N.m.) capacity and 17 mm
socket
1 each. Container of Locktite 609 or equivalent
Parts Required:
1 each, PN 240-0100PAK2 transmission gasket (if required)
1 each, PN 242-0160 drum and pinion shaft assembly (if required)
1 each, PN 240-0170 rotor and shoe assembly
The transmission is designed for removal of the centrifugal clutch rotor and
shoe assembly without disturbing transmission cover and case assemblies.
Upon inspection, if centrifugal clutch drum and pinion shaft require
replacement, the transmission cover and case will require further disassembly.
NOTE: Centrifugal clutch rotor/shoe assembly removal and installation will
require a level working platform of sufficient size and appropriate height. As an
alternative, the transmission output driveshaft can be securely mounted in
suitable bench vise.
DANGER
• Wear safety eyewear and other safety apparel appropriate
for the job application and/or job site environment.
• Blade replacement process can create flying steel chips
and/or other debris.
• Caution all onlookers regarding the possibility of and/or
to remain clear of flying debris.
• Improper safety procedures can result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING
• Operating Auger utilizing components not meeting
minimum operational standards can result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING
• DO NOT perform service and/or repair related functions
with Auger mounted to 999 Series Display Stands.
• Stands are not designed and/or intended for these
functions.
• Such use can result in property damage and/or personal
injury.
DANGER
• Use safety type solvent.
• DO NOT use thinner, benzene, or other volatile solvents
that will attack rubber/plastic components when cleaning
Auger.
• Provide adequate ventilation.
• DO NOT smoke while using cleaning solvents.
• DO NOT use solvents with engine running or if it is hot.
• Allow ample time for engine to cool BEFORE using
solvents.
• An ignition source in close proximity to hot engine can be
the source of an explosion, resulting in property damage
and/or personal injury.
