TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY2.4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY• Transport auger in full down position with slight ten-sion on cable.• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow auger to separate from towing vehicle.• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the necessary lights for transportation where required by law. Always use hazard warning flashers on the tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless prohibited by law.• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15 mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces and be cautious when turning corners or meeting traffic.• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make sure the area around the auger is clear of obstruc-tions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow any-one to stand on or beneath auger while transporting or placing auger.• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.• Wheels must be free to move when raising or low-ering auger.• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so will result in serious injury. • Before moving auger, check for overhead obstructions and/or electrical wires. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens, do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will dis-engage the brake mechanism and will create an unsafe condition. Too much slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly. • The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully, and repair winch.• After lowering auger, turn handle clockwise two clicks to lock winch brake.• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.ELECTRO-30252 R1 112.

Apply decals to both sides of auger tube.Lower Tubes: Place decals just below the angle flange, centered on the tube. Decals must be easily seen from the ground when auger assembly is complete. (For 36' augers, the model decal can be located in the center of the lower tube.) Upper Tubes: Place Westfield decals in the center of the upper tube, where they are easily seen from the ground when auger assembly is complete. 28 30252 R1WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER 4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENTWR60 & WR80 4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE4. Transport & Placement4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDUREFollow all safety precautions when transporting the auger and use a proper towing vehicle.1. If auger is raised, place in full down position. The roller track shoe should be seated against the upper track stop with slight tension on the lift cable. Refer to “Lowering & Completion” on page 36.2. Lock winch: turn handle clockwise until 2 clicks are heard.3. Hitch the auger to the towing vehicle with clevis-to-tongue connection. If there is a mismatch, convert one of the clevises to a tongue.Figure 4.1 Warning: Before continuing, ensure you have read and understand the relevant information in the safety section. Safety information is provided to help prevent serious injury, death, or property damage.WARNINGFor proper and safe transport, DO NOT hitch towing vehicle and auger with clevis-to-clevis connection since this type of connection will limit angular movement and will put extremely high load on the pin which can lead to mechanical failure.NOTE: IF SIZE OF THE PIN HOLES OF THE TOWING VEHICLE AND AUGER HITCH ARE DIFFERENT, INSERT A WASHER ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE PIN.13/16” DIAMETER SLIDE SAFETY CHAIN IN BETWEEN THE CLEVIS30252 R1 294. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE WR60 & WR804. Place and secure hitch pin. If the towing vehicle has larger pin hole, use the largest pin diameter that will fit through the holes of towing vehicle and auger hitch. Ensure the pin will not slip through the larger holes by inserting a heavy-duty large diameter washer on the top and bottom of the pin.Important: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) with a load rating that at least matches the carrying capacity of the towing vehicle (class 3 trailer hitch).5. Thread the safety chain through the handle on the lower tube, wrapped around the auger and slipped through the clevis (see Figure 4.1) before securely attaching to the towing vehicle. Leave chain slack enough for angular movement.6. If the distance from the hitch pin to the front or rear chain attachment point is more than 9”, attach an intermediate chain support.Important: Choose a safety chain rated with minimum strength at least equal to the gross weight of the auger being towed (545 - 1000 lbs). Ensure the safety chain are not worn out, stretched or kinked. . 7. Beware of overhead obstructions and electrical wires and devices. The MD augers have minimum clearances from 7'6" (2.29 m) to 13' (3.96 m) in normal transport position.8. Refer to “Transport & Placement Safety” on page 11 for important safety information before towing.4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE1. Ensure towing hitch is in place and secureImportant: Use a type of hitch pin (see Figure 4.1) that will not allow auger to separate from towing vehicle.2. Before raising or positioning auger, make sure that entire area in line of travel, both on the ground and overhead, is clear of any obstructions or electrical wires.WARNINGTo prevent accidental break away of the auger that could result to death and serious injury or implement damage, DO NOT tow the auger without securing the hitch pin and without a properly sized and undamaged safety chain.WARNINGIf auger wheels are partially or fully buried in snow or grain, failure to clear area around the wheels before moving may cause damage to the auger or result in serious injury.30 30252 R1WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER 4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENTWR60 & WR80 4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE3. Place auger on reasonably level ground when raising, lowering, or positioning.Note: Make certain cable is properly seated in cable groove before raising auger. Refer to Figure 1.12.4. To raise auger, turn winch handle clockwise. Use a firm grip on winch handle; do not release unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged. 5. Move the auger into working position slowly. Do not unhitch and attempt to move auger by hand.6. Once auger is in position, chock wheels on both sides to prevent movement during operation.Important: When releasing auger from the towing vehicle, test the intake end for downward weight. Do not raise the intake end above drawbar height. When the intake end is elevated too high with auger in raised position, the balance of weight quickly transfers to the discharge end, causing it to upend. Ensure proper anchoring / support to intake end of auger.7. When operating auger in the raised position, tie to bin to prevent wind from toppling auger. When operating the auger in a freestanding position, anchor the intake end.8. Anchor and/or support auger during operation.• When lower half of auger empties of grain, the weight balance transfers to upper end of auger, which can cause upending.NOTICEDo not turn winch handle counter-clockwise except when lowering auger or severe damage to winch will occur.WARNINGIf auger wheels are partially or fully buried in snow or grain, failure to clear the area around the wheels before moving may cause damage to the auger or result in serious injury.WARNINGNever attempt to increase height of auger by positioning wheels on lumber, blocks, or by any other means. To do so will result in damage to equipment and/or personal injury.30252 R1 314. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER4.2. PLACEMENT PROCEDURE WR60 & WR809. For correct lowering procedure, refer to “Operation” on page 33. Note: Refuel and check oil in engine before raising auger (where applicable). With auger fully raised, it may be necessary to use secure means such as a step ladder to service the engine.CAUTIONDo not use auger as a hoist to raise any object regardless of weight. This will create an unsafe condition and will void warranty.32 30252 R1WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER 5. OPERATIONWR60 & WR80 5.1. PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST5. Operation5.1.

Correctly position portable grain hopper and secure it to the auger with both straps (where applicable).Important: Anchor and/or support auger during operation. When lower half of auger empties of grain, the weight balance transfers to the upper end of auger, which can cause upending.3. Start gas engine or electric motor and engage belt release, then feed grain to auger. If auger functions normally, check at varying speeds for a period of 30 minutes (gas engine).Important: When starting auger for the first time, be prepared for an emergency shutdown in case of excessive vibration or noise. Note that auger may run rough until tube is polished.Gas Engine Before starting engine, ensure• gas tank is properly closed• belt release lever is disengaged so that the belt(s) are released from lower motor pulley• area surrounding auger is prop-erly ventilated• pulley guards are in place and secureShut down and lock out power source.a. For engines with a rope or crank start, remove the spark plug wire or the spark plug.b. For engines with an electric start, remove the ignition key, the spark plug wire, or the spark plug.WARNINGShut down engine and allow to cool before refuelling. Hot engine could cause a fire and serious injury.CAUTIONDo not start auger until area is clear of all unauthorized personnel.34 30252 R1WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER 5. OPERATIONWR60 & WR80 5.3. OPERATING PROCEDURE4. Upon completion of initial run, shut down auger (see section below for more information on shutting down your auger).5. Lock out motor and conduct a complete inspection of auger following the checklist at the beginning of this chapter.After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and inspected at least three times during the first 10 hours of operation.Keep operation of empty auger to a minimum, as this results in excessive wear.Once auger is broken in, the checklist should be a part of the daily routine before operating auger.5.3.2. OPERATING WITH A FULL LOAD1. When operating the auger, always work with a second person in a position to monitor the operation and initiate a shutdown in case of emergency.2. Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.3. Shut off all power before making adjustments, servicing, or clearing the machine. 5.3.3. SHUTDOWNNORMAL SHUTDOWN:1. Near the end of a load, decrease auger speed until all grain is clear.2. Once auger is clear, stop motor and lock out power.Important: The flighting rpm on augers equipped with electric motors is not adjustable. To clear auger of grain, decrease the grain flow until auger is clear and stop motor.EMERGENCY / FULL-TUBE RESTART:1. If auger is full of grain, do not restart at full speed. Engage the belt release DANGERRotating Flighting HazardTo prevent death or serious injury:• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.• Do not remove or modify auger flighting guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good working order. Have replaced if damaged.• Do not operate the auger without all guards, doors, and covers in place.• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a stick or other tool to remove an obstruc-tion or clean out.• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, ser-vice, or clean.30252 R1 35gradually until normal operating speed is reached.5. OPERATION WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER5.3. OPERATING PROCEDURE WR60 & WR802. If the auger is shut down for an emergency, lock out motor before correcting the problem. • If the problem is plugging, clear as much of the grain as possible using a piece of wood, wet/dry vac, or other tool before restarting auger. Do not reach in and use your hands (see “Auger Drive & Lockout” above for lockout procedure.)5.3.4. LOWERING & COMPLETIONAfter operation: 1. Clean entire work area.2. Remove all supports and chocks.3. Move auger out of working position and lower fully (see shaded box that follows for lowering procedure).4. Move auger to the next work area or to a storage area. 5. Clean out auger.a. Shut off gas engine or electric motor and lock out power.b. Manually clean out grain with a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other tool. Do not use hands.6. Prepare for transport and placement or storage (see appropriate chapters for more information).NOTICEStarting the auger under load may result in damage to unit. Be sure there is no blockage.LOWERING1. Ensure area beneath auger is clear.2. Turn winch counterclockwise to lower (there will be no clicking sound when lowering).3. After lowering, turn handle clockwise until you hear 2 clicks to lock brake.• Use a firm grip on handle. Do not release unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged.• The winch is designed for manual operation only.• When lowering, never continue to turn handle counterclockwise if the cable does not keep moving out under load. This will disengage the brake mechanism and create an unsafe condition. If this happens, winch in slack cable and correct problem.Do not leave auger in raised position when not in use. Auger could drop rapidly due to a cable break. High winds may also upset auger.36 30252 R1WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER 6. MAINTENANCE & STORAGEWR60 & WR80 6.1.

TroubleshootingProblem Possible Cause RemedyExcessive noise or vibra-tion.*Remember to follow proper break-in proce-dures—auger may run rough until tube is pol-ished. If noise is extreme from outset or con-tinuous after several loads of grain are fed, continue with troubleshoot-ing belowChatter from wooden bearings.Spray penetrating lubricant between shaft and bearing surface. Bearings will break in over time.*If replacement of a bearing becomes neces-sary, split bearings are available to avoid having to slide all bearings off driveshaft.Truss cables incorrectly adjusted.Support end of auger and adjust cables so auger is flat or curves slightly upwards.Flighting peeled back due to plugging.Inspect spout end of auger for flight condition. Remove and replace flight sections as neces-sary.Top drive inadequately lubri-cated.Fill to appropriate level with grease.Top drive is not designed to be filled with oil.Bent flighting sections.Support auger and remove all flight sections. Check for straightness of flighting and flight stubs by rolling across flat concrete section. Straighten stub or replace as necessary. Take care not to bend flighting when reinstalling.Obstruction in tube.Visually inspect for cloth or trash wrapped around flighting, or buildup of gum from oily crops such as flax or canola.Drive belts jumping off pul-leys.Motor misaligned. Ensure drive and driven pulleys are correctly aligned.Belts mismatched. Check assembly section for correct belt sizes and only replace in pairs.Belt tension inadequate. Maintain correct tension as per assembly sec-tion.Using a lower horsepower motor than recommended. Contact dealer for recommended motor sizes.Shear bolts fail repeatedly.Incorrect shear bolt type.Replace with correct part number. Westfield shear bolts are specifically designed to provide correct driveline protection.Shear bolt hole worn out-of-round.Frequent use of the incorrect shear bolt size can wear the mounting hole creating a “scissor effect,” which will require replacement of the affected parts.Corn spreaders in bin unable to keep up with auger output. Slow down auger or remove corn spreaders.Flighting peeled back as a result of plugging.Occurs when bin has overfilled, or corn spread-ers restrict end of discharge. Inspect flighting at discharge end of auger. If necessary, replace flighting.Driveline failure (bearing, gear-box, etc.). See Maintenance Section.30252 R1 417. TROUBLESHOOTING WESTFIELD INDUSTRIES - WR MD GRAIN AUGER WR60 & WR80 Premature wear on auger tubes.Auger being run at low capacity or empty for extended period of time.Frequently occurs on farms using grain wagons. Auger should not be left unattended when filling bins. Depending on application, a belt conveyor may be more appropriate.Bent flighting.Flighting allowed to wear beyond normal point of replace-ment.When flighting becomes razor-thin at intake, replacement is critical. Since flight material is double thickness at welded lap joints, high spots on flight occur and can accelerate spot tube wear.Problem Possible Cause Remedy42 30252 R1WARRANTYWestfield Industries Ltd. warrants products of its manufacture against defects in materials or workmanship under normal and reasonable use for a period of one year after date of delivery to the original purchaser.Our obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing, replacing, or refunding defective part or parts which shall be returned to a distributor or a dealer of our Company, or to our factory, with transportation charges prepaid.
