CAUTION: Do not use torch to free frozen augers. Certain types of fertilizers may explode when heated.

Remove hopper shaft and auger assemblies.

Position new auger sections on the floor (as illustrated above) (larger flutes to the outside) so the flights on the auger sections will carry the fertilizer to the outside

Remove cotter pins holding old auger sections on shafts and slide old auger sections off the shafts.

Install new auger sections on shafts as shown. Secure with 15/16 x 1-3/8 x .105 in. washers as required and 1/4 x 1-1/2 in. cotter pins.

IMPORTANT: Install augers on shaft so augers move fertilizer to spouts at ends of the hopper when the planter is moving forward. Augers must be positioned with smaller end of taper toward center of hopper.

IMPORTANT: When replacing auger sections in fertilizer hoppers, be certain auger sections are centered in the hoppers.

Replace couplers on auger sections and secure using drilled pins and cotter pins.
