situations such as cleanup.
6. The Grain Vac is a precision piece of equipment.
However it is relatively insensitive to dust and
debris. Common sense should be used to keep
dirt and debris to a minimum. Nothing big
enough to stop the internal auger should be put
through the vac. Material like cloth or plastic
should not be put through the vac as it will hang
up on the internal hanger bearings within the
auger.
7. Any dust and fine particles like chaff is passed
out of the Grain Vac through the exhaust pipe.
This feature will provide the operator with a
virtually dust free environment in the bin while
loading grain.
B. Full Bin Unload
To obtain the best capacity with your Grain Vac,
you MUST allow air in with the grain. The MaxFlo
Full Bin Nozzle has been designed to offer the
operator an easy way of adjusting the amount of air
that is allowed into the system. It has a series of
holes in the bottom which allow air into the hose.
The positioning of these holes allows the grain to
float on a cushion of air, thus making the grain easier
to move.
Six stainless spring clips are used to adjust the number
of holes that are exposed. See Fig. 7.
As hoses
are added to the nozzle, more holes in the nozzle
must be exposed. The amount of pulsing or
surging at the nozzle will dictate the number of
holes that must be exposed.
The clips must be
moved back towards the handle until the pulsing or
surging stops. See Fig. 7A. This will be slightly
different for every length of hose and every different
product being moved.
1. Insert the MaxFlo Nozzle into the chute of the
bin until the green ‘Grain Zone’ decal is just
covered. See Fig. 8. All six stainless steel clips
should be in position. The only holes exposed
should be the ten holes under the ‘Grain Zone’
decal.
2. Connect the Nozzle to the Vac using a 3 1/2’
steel flex hose.
