Safety Precautions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATION AND SERVICE
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1. Read and understand the operating manual before attempting to operate the dryer.
2. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use CAUTION in checking
voltage or other procedures requiring the power to be ON.
3. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected, DO NOT operate the
dryer. Shut down and repair before further operation.
4. NEVER attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing any safety devices on the unit.
5. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to the burner during ignition and
when the burner is in operation. DO NOT exceed maximum recommended drying temperature.
6. Keep the dryer clean. DO NOT allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum or drying chamber.
Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow and requires removal of
extra moisture.
7. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers and auxiliary conveyors
which START AUTOMATICALLY.
8. DO NOT operate in any area where combustible material will be drawn into the fan.
9. BEFORE attempting to remove or reinstall any propeller, make sure to read the recommended
procedure listed within the servicing chapter of the fan manual.
