1. Read and understand the operating manual before trying to operate the
dryer.
2. Never operate the dryer while the guards are removed.
3. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components.
Use CAUTION in checking voltage or other procedures requiring power
to be ON.
4. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are
detected, do not operate dryer. Shut down and repair before fur-
ther operation.
5. Never attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing
any safety devices on the unit.
6. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to
burner during ignition and when burner is in operation. See chart for
operating procedures. Do not exceed maximum recommended dry-
ing temperature.
7. Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in
the plenum chamber.
8. Keep auger drive belts tight enough to prevent slippage.
9. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners,
augers and auxiliary conveyors which START AUTOMATICALLY.
10. Do not operate in any area where combustible material will be drawn into
the fan.
11. Before attempting to remove and reinstall any propellor, make certain
to read the recommended procedure listed within the servicing section
of the manual.
12. Be certain that capacities of auxiliary conveyors are matched to dryer
auger capacities.
13. Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow
and requires removal of extra moisture.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
USE CAUTION
IN THE OPERATION
OF THIS EQUIPMENT
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature of
a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment
and high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel,
which can not be completely safe-
guarded against, without interfering
with efficient operation and reason-
able access to components.
Use extreme caution in working
around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary con-
veyors, which may start without
warning when the dryer is operating
on automatic control.
