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 cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with efficient operation
and reasonable access to components. Use extreme caution in working around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary conveyors which may start without warning when the dryer is operating on
automatic control.
Continued safe dependable operation of automatic equipment depends, to a great degree, upon the owner.
For a safe and dependable drying system, follow the recommendations within the manual and make it a practice
to regularly inspect the operation of the unit for any developing problems or unsafe conditions. Take special note
of the Operating Precautions listed below before attempting to operate the dryer.
Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum chamber.
