Final Cleanout
11. FINAL CLEAN-OUT
The following procedure is recommended for cleaning the
floor of the bin after the sweep auger has removed as
much grain as possible.
1.
Lockout all power.
2. Clean (scoop and sweep by hand) the outer area of
the floor into a circular pile towards the center of the
bin. (See Fig. 28)
3. Get out of the bin.
4. After making sure everyone is outside the bin and
clear of the equipment, start the under floor unloader
and the sweep auger. In a short time, the circular pile
towards the center of the bin will have been removed.
DO NOT enter a grain bin unless all power driven equipment has been shut down and
locked out.
Keep out of bin while sweep is in operation! The sweep auger will move rapidly around
the bin when the bin is nearly empty.
