In the stalled position, damage to the auger or damage to the auger hydraulic system can occur if the auger is operated for more than 10 seconds. Do not operate the auger continuously for more than 10 seconds when the auger is locked in the stalled position.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Machine Preparation for Troubleshooting".Some of the adjustments on the piston pump and the piston motor require the auger to be stalled. The following procedure provides a safe method for stalling the auger.Procure the following materials:
Procure one square tubing that is at least 10.2 cm (4.00 inch) wide, 10.2 cm (4.00 inch) tall and 9.4 mm (.37 inch).
Procure one plate that is 12.7 cm (5.00 inch) wide, 12.7 cm (5.00 inch) tall and 1.3 cm (.50 inch) thick.
Make sure that the scraper bowl has a slight downward pressure on the ground. Raise the apron.

Typical Example (2) Location of weld (3) Location of weld (4) Leading edge of the auger (5) Square tubing (6) Left wall of the scraper bowl
Align leading edge (4) of the auger parallel with the left side of scraper bowl (6) .
Cut square tubing (5) to an approximate length. The tubing must fit between the leading edge of the auger (4) and left side of the scraper bowl (6) .
Weld the plate to one end of square tubing (5) .
Lay square tubing (5) in the scraper bowl between leading edge (4) and left wall (6). Place the end of square tubing (5) with the plate end against leading edge (4) .
Lay down a 8 cm (3 inch) weld at location (2). Lay down the same weld on the other side of square tubing (5). Lay down a 8 cm (3 inch) weld at location (3). Lay down the same weld on the other side of square tubing (5) .
Close the apron.
After you complete the adjustment procedures, cut square tubing (5) from the scraper bowl. Grind the welds smooth.
