Can I just run my sweep in the manual mode?

The Series II Sweep is designed to run in the automatic mode. If the sweep is run in the manual mode,
either of the motors may overheat and/or become damaged. Also, excessive amounts of material may
spill over the back board of the sweep.

How do I set my overloads?

The overloads for both motors are adjustable and are not set at the factory. The overload inside the
control panel has a small, usually yellow, dial with numbers on it. Record the full load running amp
value listed on the nameplate attached to each motor. Increase the full load amp value by 10% and set
this number on the overload dial. If the adjustable overloads are set too low, the motors will shut down
as soon as a load is put on them. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting the motor
overloads.

When do I program my controller?

Initially the sweep should be tested in the manual mode. If it operates properly, then move on to try the
automatic mode.

How do I program my controller for automatic mode?

The Owner’s Manual has a detailed set of instructions describing the setup of automatic mode. The
final programming must be performed with material in the tank.

What are the four receptacles in the bottom of the control panel for?

The four receptacles in the bottom of the control box are for the screw drive power, the tractor drive
power, the motor overloads and the foot switch. Each receptacle is keyed differently to prevent mixing
the cables.

Why doesn’t the auger run while tractor drive is in reverse?

This is a safety feature of the Series II Sweep.

Can I get the unit to reverse while in automatic?

No. This is another safety feature of the Series II Sweep.
