11. Operate dryer clean out levers and check the clean out hatch mechanism for proper operation. With

the hatch open, inspect and remove any accumulation of dirt, fines and foreign material from the
bottom auger trough area.

NOTE: Do not allow high moisture material to collect within the trough area. It may adversely affect

metal parts.

Dryers with 7" meter rolls will need the meter roll pans dumped or cleared. Remove the hair pin and
push the lever upward to tilt the pans as shown. This allows any grain on the pans to dump into the
unload auger.

12. Inspect the entire dryer for loose, worn or damaged parts. Include check of auger flighting, metering

rolls and other internal parts. Check that temperature sensors within the air plenum chamber are
secured within insulated clamps and do not chafe on other metal parts.

13. Make sure all dryer guards and warning decals are securely installed. Ensure that guards do

not interfere with moving parts. If guards or warning decals are missing, contact the dealer for a free
replacement.

14. Test fire the dryer several weeks ahead of the drying season. Check for possible gas leaks.

NOTE: If on site bearing lubrication is to be performed, see lubrication instructions for ball bearing

motors. To keep motor bearings properly lubricated and dispel any accumulation of moisture
within the windings, the fan and auger motors should be operated for 15 to 30 minutes
each month.
