13. Refer to PNEG-1650/PNEG-1651 for the full heat chart settings that correspond to the model of
dryer. Note the settings for initial moisture, moisture removed, approximate dry time, 1 Speed,

settings that will be referred to during this start-up procedure.
14. Run the fans and burners for approximately 10% longer than the estimated dry time for the incoming
moisture. Example: Ten points removal is approximately 54 minutes. -10% of 54 minutes is
5.4 minutes, so run the fan/heaters approximately 59-60 minutes.
turn the Unload Auger switch to MANUAL and set the meter roll speed,
(manual speed). Remember that Manual is a true manual operation, with no moisture control. The

meter roll adjustment knob until the speed indicator is set to the speed suggested for 1 Speed, then
touch the Accept/Exit button to set this value into the computer. Grain should begin to run at this time.
Run time for this is about 10% longer than the (approximate drying time) required for the moisture you
are trying to dry. This allows the moisture in the dryer to reach an even gradient top to bottom without
having any highs or lows in it. It will however, over dry some of the grain.
