General Safety Statement
Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with tower dryer. This manual is
to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems that may be encountered by the
operator and other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, you are responsible to know what requirements, hazards and precautions exist
and inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area. Safety precautions may be required
from the personnel. Avoid any alterations to the equipment, which may produce a very dangerous
situation, where SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH may occur.
You should consider the location of the tower dryer site relative to power line locations or electrical
transmission equipment. Contact your local power company to review your installation plan or for
information concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of portable equipment that may be taken
to the tower dryer site should also be reviewed and considered. Any electrical control equipment in contact
with the tower dryer should be properly grounded and installed in accordance with National Electric Code
provisions and other local or national codes.
This product is intended for the use of grain drying. Any other use is a misuse of the product.
Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing sidewall
bundles is laying horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward, like a dome. Sidewall sheets stored on
edge must be secured so that they cannot fall over and cause injury. Use care when handling and moving
sidewall bundles.
Personnel operating or working around equipment should read this manual. This manual must be
delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse
of the equipment.

dryer installation. Be sure the wiring is compatible with the power company’s system and that adequate
power is supplied to the dryer.
