Always wear gloves when checking the tension of cables. Frays on cables can cause minor cuts and are susceptible to infection from dirt and grease. Periodically check all wiring, cables, and plastic components for wear. When installing any wiring, disconnect power supply. If equipment has been altered in any way from the original design, Maurer Mfg. does not accept any liability for injury or warranty. PRODUCT DISCLAIMER Installing a Maurer Revolver on any combine is at the discretion of the owner. Although Maurer Mfg. has included all the necessary mounting components and has included or recommended various electrical components, it does not assume liabilities, or make any warranties pertaining to the structural aspects of the combines unloading auger or the combines electrical system. See the combines owner s/operator s manual for additional combine specifications and safety information not listed in this manual. Page 4
SAFETY SIGN LOCATIONS Types of safety signs and locations on equipment are shown in the illustration below. Good safety requires that you familiarize yourself with various safety signs, type of warning, and area or particular function related to that area, that requires your SAFETY AWARENESS. AQAR00000 SAFETY SIGN CARE Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times. Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible. Be sure that replacment parts contain safety signs, if the original part was provided with a safety sign. Safety signs are available from Maurer Mfg. Page 5
ASSEMBLY SAFETY: Assemble in an area with sufficient space to handle the largest of components related to this product. When necessary, have someone assist you during the assembly of this product. REVOLVER GENERAL ASSEMBLY There are many aspects to take into consideration before mounting your Revolver on the combine s unloading auger. First decide the angle of the chute relative to the ground that will benefit you the most once the unloading auger is fully extended. Due to the clearance slots on the sleeve the angle of the chute can vary 5 to 0 degrees. The Revolver should be located as close to the end of the unloading auger as possible, and ideally, the back of the sleeve ring will be flush with the end of the auger tube, however, due to production tolerances (welding, bending, etc.) the Revolver may not be exactly at the end of the auger tube but there will not be an adverse effect on the operation of the Revolver. The Revolver rotates the chute 30 degrees from its downward position. If possible, mount chute perpendicular with the ground. This will allow you to get full rotation from your Revolver. Do not over-tighten cables or bolts. Over-tightening will add unwanted friction to moving parts and may prevent chute from rotating. GENERAL ELECTRICAL INFORMATION The Revolver uses 6 ga. wire for the power harness. The actuator harness uses 0 ga. wire The foot switch and foot switch harness use 6 ga. wire. The relay is connected to the battery, foot switch, and linear actuator. See electrical schematic on page 8 for proper power supply. Cables are driven by a v DC 0 linear actuator located inside the actuator cover assembly. Use care and keep all wiring clear of sharp edges and moving parts. Maurer Mfg. recommends using grommets in any holes that are drilled to run wire. This will prevent the wiring from making contact with sharp edges. Page 6

REVOLVER ASSEMBLY STEP ONE Remove nine bolts using a 3mm wrench to remove factory chute and two bolts to remove factory grain saver door. Remove two top bearing hanger bolts using a 5mm wrench. Use 3mm wrench to loosen auger light band and slide back if needed. This will allow the sleeve to slide on with ease. SLEEVE STEP TWO Make sure all four / bolts are removed from legs of sleeve. Next, slide sleeve onto auger tube until the bearing hanger bolts fit into the clearance slots on the sleeve. Adjust the sleeve as desired and refasten the two 5mm bolts that were removed from the bearing hanger. Once 5mm bolts are refastened, center bearing hanger bolts between clearance slots on sleeve. Fasten four / bolts to legs on sleeve. See Figure. / NUTS & BOLTS Figure NOTE: The 3mm bolts used to mount the chute and grain saver door have retaining washers on them. The washers will need to be removed in order to remove the bolts. Save all 3mm bolts. They will be used to mount the factory chute to the Revolver. Factory grain saver door does not get reused. STEP THREE With the sleeve secured, place the face of drive ring and drive ring spacer against face of sleeve ring and fasten the drive ring retainers, spacers, and bushings to the drive ring using the 3/8 x hex bolts and 3/8 nylock nuts provided. DO NOT over-tighten bolts. Again, this could cause added friction. There should be a /6 gap between the drive ring and sleeve ring. This will allow the drive ring to rotate smoothly. If there is no gap, back-off nuts until the drive ring rotates with ease. See Figure 3. SLEEVE STEP FOUR Place the actuator cover assembly on sleeve where cover mounts are located. With the cable pulley end of the actuator cover over the drive ring assembly, secure actuator cover using 3/8 x 3/4 hex head bolts and 3/8 lock nuts provided. See Figure 4. DRIVE RING & SPACER Figure 3 Page 8
STEP FIVE With actuator cover assembly secured, place threaded end of cables through bushings on drive ring and fasten with 3/8 nylock nut. See Figure 7. Avoid over-tightening cables or tightening one cable more than the other. This will cause the cable trolley to prop up on one end. The cable trolley should be sitting parallel with the actuator cover. Use Figures 5A and 5B as a reference. COVER ASSEMBLY STEP SIX Install factory plastic chute on drive ring assembly using the nine bolts that were removed in step one. Figure 4 Incorrect Figure 5A Correct Figure 5B Page 9

OPERATION The Maurer Revolver is designed to mount on the end of the combines unloading auger. The Revolver is also designed to replace the factory grain saver door. Power is provided by the combine s battery. OPERATING SAFETY Read and follow this Owner s/operator s Manual before operation. Install and secure all guards and shields before operation. Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts. Before applying power to any equipment, clear the area of all bystanders Be sure all electrical components and connections are tight before and during operation. Disconnect power supply before connecting any wiring. INITIAL OPERATION STEP ONE Once the Revolver has been properly installed to the combine s unloading auger, connect power harness to battery. This will apply power to the Revolver. STEP TWO Extend unloading auger so that it is away from combine body and in position where you can best see the Revolver from inside the cab. STEP THREE Use the foot switch to rotate the chute up and down. Check for inconsistantcies in the rotating motion. If chute does not transition smoothly you may need to adjust nuts on the drive ring retainers and/or cables. If the chute is operating as desired, your new Maurer Revolver is ready for use in the field. OPERATING THE REVOLVER STEP ONE With the combine s unloading auger folded in the chute should be in the up position. STEP TWO When you are ready to unload grain tank, extend the combine s unloading auger and use the foot switch to rotate chute to the down position once unloading auger is fully extended. STEP THREE When finished unloading, use foot switch to rotate chute back to the up postion and fold unloading auger in. Page 4

TROUBLESHOOTING Revolver is not rotating all the way up or down:.) You may need to adjust the cables or retainers on the drive ring. If the cables or retainers are too tight or too loose it will put added strain on the drive ring and prevent it from rotating..) Remove the plastic spacer from between the drive ring and sleeve ring. After a few uses residue can accumulate between the spacer and cause the drive ring to tighten up. Revolver is not rotating at all:.) Check all wiring connections and fuses. Loose connections can prevent power flow to components..) Check all wiring for cuts or wear. If not routed correctly or cautiously the wiring can get caught in moving parts or worn on sharp edges. Fuses keep blowing:.) Replace the 5 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse. We do not recommend using a fuse stronger than 30 amps. How do I make adjustments to the drive ring? Step. Make sure the spout is in the down position so that it is perpendicular to the ground. With all drive ring retainer bolts snug, back them off /4 turn. Step. Rotate the spout 90 degrees so that it is now parallel to the ground. Check tension on the retainers by wiggling the drive ring up & down and side to side. If any retainers feel stiff, back them off /4 turn. Step 3. With the combine running, rotate the spout up and down to observe if there are any positions where the motor seems to pull hard. If so, you will need to stop the spout in that position, locate the retainer that is causing the pull, and back the nuts off on that retainer an additional /4 turn. NOTE: Loosening the retainers too much can have a negative impact on how the spout will rotate. It may take some time loosening and tightening bolts before you find an adjustment that allows the Revolver to function properly. 5/6/09 Page 6
