Assembly - 480 Grain Cleaner
Assembly Instructions
The following instructions refer to the intake end of the cleaner as the front and the output end as
the rear.
1. Join the front and rear frame (#1 and #2) together using the frame sides (#3 and #4) and 1/2"
x 1-1/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. The right hand frame (#3) has two extra 5/16"
holes, which must be turned so they face up at the front of the cleaner. The frame ends and
sides must be squared before the bolts are tightened. See page 15 for drawing.
2. Mount the wheels on the axle assembly (#6). Torque wheel bolts to 80 (lb-ft), 110 N.m. The
easiest way to mount the axle under the cleaner is by lifting the frame assembly with a hoist
or front end loader and then bolting on the axle braces (#7 & 8) between the frame sides and
the axle. The front axle brace (#8) has an extra hole 5-1/2" from one end which must be turned
facing down. Two frame braces (#10) are bolted to the brace using this hole. The other end of
the brace bolts to the front frame. Use 1/2" x 1-1/4" hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts for all
the braces. See page 15 for drawing.
3. Bolt the hitch assembly (#5) to the front frame using 1/2" x 1-1/4" hex bolts. Mount the jack
(#13) to the round sleeve on the hitch brace. The jack is used when hooking up the cleaner for
towing and to adjust the slope of the cleaner. Insert the two front legs (#14) and lock in place
using a 1/2" x 4-1/2" pin (#15) and a spring clip. If the cleaner is purchased with a trash pan, the
next step should be the pan assembly (step #11). These instructions follow the instructions for
the basic cleaner. If there is no pan, continue with step #4. See page 15 for drawing.
4. Assemble the cone and drum on the drum shaft (#39) before mounting the assembly on the
grain cleaner frame. The cone assembly inside the drum is shown at the bottom of the drawing.
Check to see that all rings are turned as shown. The cone extension tube (#36) fits between the
rear center drum ring (#34) and the rear drum ring (#35). Do not forget to slide the cone flow
control (#43) and cone support ring (#42) onto the drum shaft before tightening any rings. Use
a 3/8" x 3/4" set screw and hex nut to tighten rings. Begin by positioning the front drum ring
(#32) on the drum shaft as shown in the drawing below. See page 17 for drawing.
Bolt on every other drum support bar (#37) using 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts, lock washers and
hex nuts. This will enable you to align the outside holes and leave plenty of room to work on
the cone inside the drum.
