Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA August 2018 Grow-Flex TM Feed System Auger Installation & Pre-Tensioning Procedure Severe personal injury will result, if the electrical power is not disconnected, prior to installation or servicing. Always wear protective clothing and protective glasses when working with auger. Use extreme caution when working with GROW-FLEX auger. The auger is under tension and may spring back causing severe injury. Keep your hands away from the end of the auger tube to avoid injury when pushing the auger into the auger tubes Handle the auger very carefully. Dropping the rolls of auger may cause the auger to kink. Do not install an auger that has a kink in it. The kink will cause the auger to wear the tube at that spot. If the kink cannot be straightened with pliers, the kink must be cut out and the auger brazed back together. Two (2) people are recommended to install the GROW-FLEX auger. One person will feed the auger into the tubing while the other person verifies the auger is not damaged. Make sure no foreign objects enter into the tubing. 1. Beginning at the unloader, push the auger into the auger tube through the rear of the unloader until the auger reaches the control unit at end of the line. 2.
