DANGER
Electric motors and controls must be installed by a qualified electrician and must
meet the standards set by the National Electrical Code and all local and state codes.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
shall be provided. This shall be locked whenever work is being done on the auger.
DANGER
A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping.
It should stop the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage,
circuit interruption or motor overload. Then the motor must be restarted manually.
Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this type motor is used, use only
those with a manual reset.
The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. Locate the motor starting controls
outside the bin but near the bin door so the operator has full view of the operation inside the
bin.
Disconnect power before resetting motor overloads.
Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the operator has full view of the entire
operation.
Make certain electric motors are grounded.
Shut OFF power to adjust, service or clean.
Before Filling the Bin
1. Read the instructional decal located on the upper bin flange to learn how to control the direct gear
drive power sweep well gates.
2. Close the center well and the intermediate well gates.
3. Position the sweep auger alongside of the intermediate wells.
4. Make sure the clutch is disengaged and locked out with pin.
1. DO NOT enter the grain bin unless all power driven equipment has been shut
down and locked out. Never enter the grain bin unless monitored by another
person.
2. DO NOT enter the bin if the grain has bridged or has flowed abnormally out of
the bin as shown. Suffocation can occur if grain suddenly breaks loose,
burying persons who are inside the bin.
