Safety Precautions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read and understand the operating manual before attempting 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 the power to be ON.
4. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected, DO NOT operate dryer.
Shutdown and repair before further 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 being applied to the burner during ignition
and when the burner is in operation. DO NOT exceed maximum recommended drying temperature.
7. Keep the dryer clean. DO NOT allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum chamber.
Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow and requires removal
of extra moisture.
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 can START AUTOMATICALLY.
10. Keep area around air inlet to the fan clear of any obstacles and combustible materials.
11. BEFORE attempting to remove and reinstall any propeller, make sure to read the
recommended procedure.
12. Make sure that capacities of auxiliary conveyors are matched to dryer auger capacities.
13. DO NOT operate in an area where combustible material will be drawn into the fan.
14. The operating and safety recommendations in this manual pertain to the common cereal
grains as indicated. When drying any other grain or products, consult the factory for
additional recommendations.
15. Routinely check for any developing gas plumbing leaks. Check LP vaporizer for contact with
burner vanes.
