PNEG-1181 Portable Dryer Troubleshooting
1. Safety
Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
The design and manufacture of this dryer is targeted to maximize operator safety. However, grain
dryers have inherently hazardous components: a gas burner, high voltage electrical equipment, high
speed rotating parts, etc. It is not possible to fully safeguard against all hazards without impeding
efficient operation and reasonable access to components. Therefore, a careful and knowledgeable
owner/operator is the best insurance against an accident.
Use extreme caution when 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 operation of the unit for any developing problems
or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of all safety precautions before attempting to operate the dryer.
Keep the dryer clean. Not allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum cham-
ber or surrounding the outside of the dryer.
