INSTALLATION
MECHANICAL FITMENT
These instructions refer to the diagram attached titled Mechanical Fitment Diagram, use for
reference upon installation.
Refer to the attached drawing UCA-MCD-ASM as support to the detailed instructions for
further information.
Note:
•Installation process is minimum a two-person task.
•Ensure the header front is detached from the header and resting on
a flat stable surface for accessibility and safety during installation.
•Place boards over draper belt in locations requiring access for
installation, to protect the belts from damage and provide a stable
surface.
MOUNT BRACKETRY
STEP
INSTRUCTION
REFERENCE IMAGE
1
Mark locations of fixture points on
the header front for Parts 1B, 2B, 8
and 9, as per attached drawing UCA-
MCD-ASM.
Bracket mounts, Parts 1B and 2B may
be preexisting on header front. If
preexisting, conduct a dimensional
check, to ensure the bracketry
spacing is correct as per the attached
drawing.
2
Align base plates of Parts 8 and 9 to
the flat plate profile of the header
front, on the marked locations
(centered to the ‘fore and aft’,
forwards and rearwards linear
motion actuators), as depicted in
drawing UCA-MCD-ASM.
Mark out plate profiles.

11
3
Prepare immediate surfaces of the
header front in the proposed fixture
locations, by grinding away surface
finish and rust until the bare metal
surface is visible.
4
Prepare the bracketry of the
FeedStorm kit, Parts 8 and 9, by
grinding off any protective coatings
on the underside of the brackets, and
10mm around the edges, where
foreseeably welding.
Isolate the header battery if the
header front is currently attached to
the header.
5
Tack weld the base plates of Parts 8
& 9 to the header front as a short-
term fixture. Ensure to do so without
disassembling the base plates from
the assemblies.
Tack weld enough to support the self-
weight of the assembled FeedStorm;
approximately 50kg per auger barrel
section.

12
6
IF the end plate bracket mounts,
Parts 1B and 2B are not preexisting in
the marked locations on the header
front, align the supplied brackets as
depicted in drawing UCA-MCD-ASM.
7
IF REQUIRED: Tack weld Parts 1B and
2B mounting brackets to the header
front as a short-term fixture. Enough
to support the self-weight of the
assembled FeedStorm; approximately
50kg per auger barrel section.
8
Ensure the entire subassembly of
Parts 1, 2, 8 and 9, are in their correct
position and aligned relative to each
other on the header front.
Insert the 4 actuators, 11A, as shown
to the bracketry, 8 and 9.
Ensure the actuators labelled “LH/RH
Fore & Aft”, are inserted correctly.
If a 40ft header front use the short
braces, 1C and 2C.
If a 45ft header front use the longer
braces, 1D and 2D. The longer brace
fastens to two preexisting tapped
holes on the header front.

13
9
For 40ft, the left and right end
bracket braces, Parts 1C and 2C, are
supplied overlength. For each brace,
drill the bolt hole in the required
location for fastening to the header
front and cut off excess length.
Touch up end of brace with black
paint.
Fasten to the header front with the
fasteners supplied loose once the
paint has dried.
AUGER BARREL ASSEMBLY
10
Fasten the Hydraulic Motor
Subassembly, Part 4, to the outer
face of Part 1A.
If the locking rod of Part 1A is too
long and extends over the hydraulic
motor inlet, a shorter version has
been supplied loose for replacement.

14
11
Mount a universal joint assembly,
Part 7, onto the inside facing end of
the left-hand side auger barrel, Part
3. Align the grease nipple with the
access hole in the shroud.
For longevity of the adjustable
fitment, coat the spline with an anti-
seize product prior to inserting.
12
Place Part 8 and 9 bearing locking
collars over either end of center
barrel, Part 5, shaft ends in correct
orientation for fastening.

15
13
Insert Part 5, the Auger Barrel
Assembly Center piece, into the arms
and bearing units of Parts 8 and 9.
Lift into location and fasten to the
‘fore and aft’ actuators.
Ensure the auger flighting is the
correct orientation, to feed inwards
and downwards from the front
orientation, towards the center
barrel of the header front when in
operation.
14
Remove the left-hand side bracketry
from the mount, comprising of the
hydraulic motor.
Insert the key and shaft of the Left-
Hand Side Auger Assembly, Parts 3
and 7, from Steps 8 and 9, into the
keyed housing of the hydraulic
Motor, Part 4.
Once fitted, fasten the bracket to the
fixed mount once again.
Insert the opposite end of the
assembly, the Universal Joint Keyed
Clamp Collar, Part 7 onto the key and
shaft of Part 5.
Ensure to align the auger barrels for
continuous flighting across the
sections.

16
15
Mount a universal joint assembly,
Part 7, into the inside facing end of
the Right-Hand Side Auger Barrel,
Part 6. Align the grease nipple with
the access hole in the shroud.
For longevity of the adjustable
fitment, coat the spline with an anti-
seize product prior to inserting.
16
Remove the right-hand side
bracketry, Part 2A, from the mount.
Insert the shaft of the Right-Hand
Side Auger Assembly, Parts 6 and 7,
from Steps 12 and 13, into the
bearing housing of the Right-hand
Side bracketry, Part 2A.
Once fitted, fasten the bracket to the
fixed mount once again.
Insert the opposite end of the
assembly, the Universal Joint Keyed
Clamp Collar, Part 7, onto the Right-
Hand Side of the auger barrel key and
shaft, Part 5.
Ensure to align the auger barrels for
continuous flighting across the
sections.
17
Starting with the fore/aft actuators
fully retract to ensure auger sections
are relatively in-line.
Ensure 3mm gap from yoke clamp to
bearing.
Centralise all three Auger Barrels
relative to the bracketry.

17
18
Once positioned appropriately,
tighten the clamp of both Universal
Joints, Part 7.
Fasten the two grub screws of the
Mount bracket Assemblies, Parts 1A
and 2A, to the shaft of the Left- and
Right-Hand Side Auger Barrel shafts,
Part 3 and 6.
Fasten the two grub screws on the
hydraulic motor shaft housing, Part 4,
to the shaft.
Fasten the shaft of the Center Auger
Barrel, Part 5, to the bearings of Parts
8 and 9, using the locking collars and
grub screws. Firmly position the
locking collar against the bearing
prior to tightening the grub screws.
