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.

The Sweep Arm Augers will start, being powered
by the Unload Auger. Each time the Auger is

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 .
