Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
This dryer is designed and manufactured with operator safety in mind. However, the very nature
of a grain dryer having a gas burner, high voltage electrical equipment and high speed rotating parts,
presents hazards to personnel which cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with
the efficient operation of the dryer and reasonable access to its 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 Owner’s Manual
and make it a practice to regularly inspect the unit for any developing problems or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of the Operating Precautions on Page 6 before attempting to operate the dryer.
CAUTION
Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum
chamber or surrounding the outside of the dryer.
