Safety Guidelines for Portable Dryers
Safety guidelines are general-to-specific rules that promote safe practices in the grain drying environment
and which must be respected at all times. Save these safety guidelines for future reference.
CAUTION
Make sure to read these safety guidelines carefully prior to installing, operating, or
servicing your grain dryer.
Operation
• Read and fully understand this user guide before attempting to operate the grain dryer.
• Never operate the grain dryer with its safety guards removed.
• Never operate the grain dryer by bypassing any safety device.
• Never exceed the maximum recommended drying temperature.
• Do not operate the grain dryer in an area where combustible material might be drawn into the fan.
• The operating and safety recommendations in this guide pertain to common cereal grains, as indi-
cated. When drying other types of grain or products, contact the GSI Group, LLC for additional
recommendations.
Servicing
• The power supply must be disconnected when servicing electrical components. Always use extreme
caution when measuring voltage or performing procedures that require the dryer to be turned on.
• Before attempting to remove and reinstall a fan’s propeller, make sure to read the recommended pro-
cedure. If you are unsure about performing this procedure or cannot locate it, contact the GSI Group,
LLC before proceeding.
Pre-Season Mode
• When using a controller with Vision N2 software, the pre-season mode allows the fans and heaters to
operate under normal conditions, without the dryer being completely full of grain. In normal mode, the
dryer generates a Loss of Airflow shutdown if you operate the fans without having the dryer full of
grain.
• Following an extended period of inactivity—typically, at the beginning of the drying season, use pre-
season mode to fully test the dryer.
