Safety Precautions

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATION AND SERVICE

SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

1. Read and understand the operating manual before trying to operate the dryer.

2. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use CAUTION in checking voltage

or other procedures requiring power to be ON.

3. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected, DO NOT operate the dryer.

Shut down and repair before further operation.

4. NEVER attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing any safety devices

on the unit.

5. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to burner during ignition and when

burner is in operation. DO NOT exceed maximum recommended drying temperature.

6. Keep the dryer clean. DO NOT allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum or drying chamber.

7. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers and auxiliary conveyors

which can START AUTOMATICALLY.

8. DO NOT operate in any area where combustible material will be drawn into the fan.

9. BEFORE attempting to remove and re-install any propeller, make certain to read the recommended

procedure listed within the servicing section of the manual.

10. Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow and requires removal of

extra moisture.
