Start-Up

Start-Up Procedure

At the beginning of each harvest and before filling the dryer with grain make sure to inspect the dryer for
rodent damage, proper belt tension and missing or damaged safety shields. Test operate the dryer using
the pre-start check procedures.

1. Before attempting to operate the dryer make sure that all safety shields and access doors are in place

and closed and all personnel are clear of the grain dryer and grain handling machinery.

2. Turn all selector switches on the control panel to the OFF position.

3. Turn ON the electrical power supply to the dryer and move the safety disconnect handle mounted on

the dryer’s power box to ON.

4. Turn the Control Power switch to ON. The switch will illuminate. The vision control computer will boot

up. At this point the controller will lock out all other dryer functions. Once the Boot screen appears,
touch the Start Dryer button and the dryer will perform its safety circuit checks. If a fault is found the
cause will be displayed on the Display screen (Touch screen). If all safeties do not detect a problem.
The dryer is ready to be started.

5. Move the Load Auger switch to MANUAL and push the Dryer Start switch. The fill conveyor will

immediately start and the Load Auger switch will illuminate. If additional loading equipment is wired
to the dryer it will also start immediately.

6. When the dryer is full of grain the fill conveyor will stop automatically and any auxiliary loading

equipment wired to the dryer will also stop.

The dryer is now ready to begin drying grain.
