Adjusting the Lower Flighting and Hanger Bushing Assembly

WARNING

MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS SHUT OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE FLIGHTING ASSEMBLY.

If the drive-dog and hanger assembly are becoming excessively hot during unloading, the lower ighting and/or hanger may

need adjusting. The hanger bushing assembly has elongated holes where it attaches to the outer tube assembly. Loosen

the two 3/8” bolts on the hanger bushing assembly. Adjust the hanger either up or down and vertically center it between the

ighting and drive dog. Re-tighten the bolts. Make certain that the ighting center and drive-dogs do not rub the hanger

bushing assembly, causing them to become hot.

If the hanger can no longer be adjusted by moving it up or down on the elongated holes, both the hanger bushing assembly

and the lower ighting will have to be removed. See instructions on pg. 36 for ighting removal. After removing them from

the tube assembly, place a shim [between 1/8” (0,32cm) to 3/16” (0,48cm) thick] where the gearbox and the spline coupler

(welded to the lower ighting). Replace the lower ighting and reattach the hanger to the tube assembly. Readjust the

hanger assembly. NOTE: The bottom of the lower ighting is not attached to the gearbox with any bolts or set screws

but may be ‘frozen’ fast. Be careful when removing the lower ighting from the gearbox. For easier removal of the lower

ighting, keep the gearbox at the bottom intact, remove the 2 3/8” bolts from the hanger bushing assembly and pull the

lower ighting off of the gearbox.

After adjusting the lower ighting, move the upper auger to the unload position and check the upper ighting for readjustment.

If the upper and lower augers to do not properly separate during the unfolding sequence, the upper ighting may need

adjusting. Before making adjustment to the upper ighting, check to see if the lugs and drive dogs on the auger assemblies

are locking together. If they are not locked together, check to see if dirt is in the restrictor or if a faulty check valve on the

hydraulic cylinder used to raise and lower the upper auger assembly may be causing the problem. If dirt is in the restrictor,

see “Removing Dirt From Restrictors On Hydraulic Cylinders” below.

Fold the upper tube assembly into the upright position. Position the upper ighting in the engaged position with the lower

ighting. Locate the four-hole ange bearing on the top of the upper auger tube housing. With the upper ighting in the

engaged position, check the spacing between the upper bearing and the upper tube housing. There must be an 1/8”

(0,32cm) space between the base of the four-hole ange bearing and the upper tube housing. If there is NOT a space

between the bearing and the upper tube housing, or if there is more than 1/8” (0,32cm) space, the upper ighting will need

to be adjusted. To adjust the upper ighting, loosen the 1 1/4” hex nuts both above and below the four-hole ange bearing.

Move the 1 1/4” hex nuts up or down the threaded shaft on the top of the auger ighting shaft until the bearing moves to

approximately 1/8” (0,32cm) above the base of the upper tube housing. When the four-hole ange bearing is properly

located, tighten both 1 1/4” hex nuts together to secure the bearing position.

If the upper and lower ighting still does not separate properly during the folding sequence, a small bevel may need to be

removed from the inside of the lugs where they engage the drive dogs on the auger assemblies. Grind approximately 1/8”

(0,32cm) from the corner of the lugs where they touch against the drive dogs.
