17. ENGAGING THE CLUTCH FOR THE BIN SWEEP
A. All power should be disconnected and locked out
before starting.
B. Loosen the Clutch Control Pipe Position Lock
Bolt. Pull on the Clutch Handle away from the Bin
to engage the Clutch. Verify that the clutch is
fully engaged, observing the distinguishing mark
on the conrol rod, as done in Step 14E.
C. Once the Clutch has been engaged, tighten the
Clutch Control Pipe Position Lock Bolt to hold the
Clutch Control rod in the engaged position.
D. Restore power and start the Unload Auger motor.
The Sweep Arm Augers will start, being powered
by the Unload Auger. Each time the Auger is
stopped, it may be necessary to adjust the
Sweep Carrier Wheel Assembly up or down, so
that the Arm is allowed to feed into the grain pile,
but also not come into contact with the floor.
Follow proper safety procedures before entering
the bin to adjust the Carrier Wheel Assembly.
The Centerwell Gate must be
FULLY open during the Bin
Sweep operation
.
