FIGURE 4 OPTIONAL LABYRINTH SEAL
4) If your kit has the labyrinth seal (4159006) it must be bolted to the center hanger mounts prior to the augers
being installed.
FIGURE 5 LH END BEARING HANGER
5) Move the 2 pieces of 4” thick wood (pallets) to the right canvas. Lift the auger into place by inserting through
the hole at the left end, and bolt under the bearing plate at the right end.
6) Install the outer bearing over the shaft through the hole, do not install lock collar on at this time.

15
FIGURE 6 CENTER BEARING HANGER ASSEMBLY
7) Bolt LH center mount to header using M10 x 30 bolts.
8) Attach center hanger cover (4159001) to LH center mount using 5/8 x 1 ½” bolts.
FIGURE 7 MOUNTING RH DRIVE END TO HEADER
9) Mount the RH drive end to the header using the bolts through the spacer bushings as shown below, Place the
RH auger end mount onto the three M12 x 90mm bolts and nut –do not final tighten at this time.
10) Assemble and install RH center hanger (4159008), bearings, sprocket, keyway and paddle onto RH auger.
Similarly to Figure 3
11) Place the RH auger assembly onto the currently installed center bearing hanger plate and drive end to RH
auger as shown above in Figure 6

FIGURE 8 CENTER HANGER ASSEMBLY
12) Bolt together RH center bearing hanger and using 5/8 x 1 ½” bolts
13) Bolt RH center bearing hanger to the header mount using M10 x 30 bolts
14) Observe that the flighting of the auger is ¼ inch from the back board of the header at both ends. Rotate the
auger to check that there is ¼” at all degrees of rotation. Snug the bolts on both ends. Do NOT final tighten –
there is probable adjustment to come, and the center plastic cover will be put on later.
15) Adjust the left auger until there is about 5/16 to 3/8 inch of space between the 2 center sprockets, install the
chain coupler by wrapping and turning both augers. Do not grip the auger to rotate the auger so as to pinch
fingers between auger and mainframe.

4.2. HYDRAULICS
7) Hook up hydraulic hoses as follows: Remove the outer hose F from the corner of AGCO header at E. Place hose
F onto the rear fitting of the Ag Shield auger motor. Install the Ag Shield hose G supplied from the forward fitting
of the Ag Shield motor onto the E fitting at rear corner of header.
8) Close the motor speed adjust screw H by turning clockwise—do not over tighten, set the lock nut to hold the
closed setting. The oil flow available to the motor is the same flow that is going to the reel motor- If the reel is
running very slowly –then it is impossible for the auger motor to run fast with the present oil supply set up.
If this oil supply is not acceptable in your field conditions, a different (and more expensive) method of bring oil to
the motor can be purchased. Ag Shield Part# 408360 is a pressure compensated flow control kit to maintain
constant pressure to the Ag Shield hydraulic motor. This kit will only maintain the speed determined by the oil
flow to the reel motor.

4.3. STRIPPER BAR INSTALLATION
1) All Ag Shield augers now come with a stripper bar to help prevent crop from wrapping on the auger, as well
as to provide a cleaner transfer of crop to the center of the header.
2) Put the stripper bar on last after the auger has been installed and tested. This will ensure the height of the
auger does not change after the stripper bar height has been set.
3) Flex the header into the frown position before installing the stripper bar.
3) Hold stripper bar up to the back board and mark the holes in the middle of the slot (every second hole
will be fine)
4) A magnet will help hold one end if installing alone.
5) Make sure before drilling that the drill will not damage anything behind the back board (hyd fittings
hoses etc.)
6) Drill 3/8” holes in the middle of the slot in the back board.
7) Set the stripper bar to be ¼” below the flighting.
8) Tighten the stripper bar to the back board.
