Info

The augers are manufactured to allow them to be shortened by cutting off from the bottom end instead of the top. All augers have flighting to within 8" of the top, and hard surfaced augers will have all but the top pitch of flighting hard surfaced. Lay the auger down and mark where the auger will be cut off. Weld the flighting to the shaft in three places within the first pitch just above this mark before cutting off the bottom part of the auger. See Photo 36 and Auger Cut-off Drawing. File a notch on each side of the shaft, 3/4" down from the top end of the auger. Install the augers to the gear box output shafts with the 2 piece auger couplers. Tighten the clamping bolts uniformly on each side of the clamp to insure that the auger is aligned to the output shaft. See Drawing N on page 57. Photo 33 Weld last pitch in three places with 3/4" long welds. DO NOT WELD THE FLIGHTING TO THE SHAFT AT THE TOP OF THE AU- GER. TO DO SO VOIDS THE WAR- RANTY. THE FLIGHTING AND SHAFT MUST REMAIN UNWELDED TO MINI- MIZE DISTORTION AND WEAKENING OF THE SHAFT. STEP 34 A professional electrician should be employed to bring power line to the Red Giant Stir-Ator. IF EQUIPPED WITH THREE PHASE, THE CUSTOMER MUST PROVIDE MOTOR PROTECTION, EITHER MANUAL OR MAGNETIC. THE BIN MUST BE GROUNDED. STEP 35 To test Stir-Ator operation in an empty bin, be sure no one is inside the bin, then turn “on” and “off” immediately. DO NOT OPERATE THE RED GIANT STIR-ATOR IN AN EMPTY BIN. Install the “Danger” decals on the bin. One on the inside of the walk-in door and one on the inside of the manhole door. Place the “DMC - Red Giant” decal on the outside of the walk-in door.

READ THE FOLLOWING DATA FOR BIN WALL STRESSES There are two important facts to be considered concerning the extra stress that is placed on the drying bin wall. You will find two charts, Chart 1 and Chart 2. One is the shipping weights of the Model 176 Red Giant Stir-Ator, and Chart 2 sets out the amount of weight each auger can place on the bin wall during operation. Most grain bins do not have any problem supporting the weight of the four-auger Red Giant, plus the downpull of the augers. Six-auger Red Giant Stir-Ators may require additional wall support. Check the charts closely to see whether or not your particular bin can withstand the extra stress. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOUR BIN CAN WITHSTAND THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS, CONTACT YOUR BIN DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. CHART 1 Red Giant shipping weight equipped as follows: GE.
