TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
CF26 AUGER MOTOR INSTALLATION
MagnuM 7500 Furnace – 2002 Models Only
It is very important that the CF26 gear motor assembly is installed properly so that the alignment is straight with the auger shaft.
Tools needed:
11/32 box end wrench to loosen the nuts on the (4) bolts holding the gear
motor to the auger tube, 1/8th inch Allan wrench to loosen the set screw on
the auger coupler
Procedure:
Unplug the power to the unit. Clean out the hopper, vacuum out all the corn
and take the auger out. Open the right panel of the furnace disconnect the
wire leads to the auger motor and take off the (4) nuts. (the bottom nut is
hard to get at), slide the auger motor off of the bolts (the bolt head is
welded onto the auger housing) Be careful not to damage the impeller located
on the end of the auger motor. The impeller can be slipped off the back of the
shaft by grasping the inner hub and pulling. Do not pull on the blades or they
will break. Take the auger coupler and the rubber gasket off of the old gear
motor and put it on the new auger motor. Install the new auger motor in the
reverse of the above procedure. Tighten the (4) bolts so that there is app.
1/6 inch compression on the rubber gasket. Then place the auger in the auger
tube so that the tang on the auger lines up horizontally as shown with the
auger coupler. The auger motor may have to be turned (you can spin the
impeller by hand) so that the auger coupler slot is horizontal also. The nuts
can be tightened side to side or top to bottom so that the auger coupler is
centered in the auger tube and the auger slides into the slop without binding.
You will want to make a complete turn of the auger coupler to see if the auger
lines up both ways. If it does not, then theauger motor is not centered. When
the auger motor installation is complete, run the auger to determine if the
auger motor is centered properly and there is not binding. If the auger binds
as it turns, the auger motor will have to be adjusted on the rubber gasket so
that it is aligned straight.
