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 de-
tected, 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.

during ignition and when burner is in operation. Do not exceed maxi-
mum recommended drying temperature.

Use Caution in the
Operation of this
Equipment
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature of
a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment
and high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel, which
can not be completely safeguarded
against, without interfering with ef-
ficient operation and reasonable ac-
cess to components.
Use extreme caution in working
around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary con-
veyors, which may start without
warning when the dryer is operat-
ing on automatic control.
