Shutting Off the Dryer at the End of the Drying Season
You can shut off the dryer at the end of the drying season to ensure that your equipment can safely remain
inactive until the start of the next drying season.
Before You Begin
Make sure that there is no grain in the dryer and in the wet grain storage bin.
The ensuing procedure assumes that you will not dry grain in the days that follow, and that the dryer will be
off for an extended period. To shut off the dryer at the end of the day, see
Shutting Off the Dryer at the End
of the Day, page 36 .
CAUTION
To properly shut off the dryer at the end of the drying season you must be present at
the control panel. Stopping the dryer via GSI’s remote web application only stops
dryer functions—the dryer’s main power is still on.
To shut off the dryer at the end of the drying season:
1. Turn off the following, in sequence:
a. The Load Auger switch
b. All Heater switches, from top to bottom
c. All Fan switches, from top to bottom
d. The Unload Auger switch
2. If using liquid propane, close the tank’s fuel supply valve; if using natural gas, close the fuel line
valve.
3. If the burner is on, let the dryer run out of fuel.
Once it is out of fuel, the burner automatically shuts off because it no longer detects a flame.
4. Close the dryer’s fuel valve, and then press Stop on the control panel.
All dryer functions stop.
5. Turn the Power switch to Off.
The control power turns off and the controller shuts down.
6. Place the main electrical disconnect switch in the Off position, and then turn off the dryer’s main
power.
The main power that is present at the electrical cabinets turns off.
CAUTION
The Power switch controls dryer functions but does not control the power that is
present at the various electrical cabinets. Turn off the main electrical disconnect
switch to shut off power to the dryer and all electrical cabinets.
