You are responsible for the safe operation of this device, and 

maintaining this equipment in compliance with these instruc-

tions. You must read and completely understand these operating 

and safety instructions before using this machine.

DANGER!:

 This machine operates on electric current. 

Improper operation could result in electric shock, elec-

trocution, or an explosion.

1.  The GA-6 AutoSiever is configured to operate on 115V/60Hz 

or 230V/50Hz power supplies, as noted in the assembly 

instructions. Make sure that the Voltage Selector Switch 

on the back of the unit is set to operate with the proper 

voltage supply. This unit is NOT explosion-proof.

2.  ALWAYS check electrical wiring for loose connections and 

for pinched or frayed wiring.

3.  ALWAYS use a properly configured three-pronged plug, as 

supplied with the unit. Connect the machine to a properly-

wired, three-pronged receptacle. Make sure the cord is 

routed safely.

4.  ALWAYS disconnect and lock-out power supply before 

performing maintenance and repairs.

5.  NEVER operate this device without having all covers and 

case in place.

6.  ALWAYS unplug or disconnect machine from the power 

source when the unit is not in operation.

2.0  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.0  UNCRATING & SETUP

After inspecting the shipment for external damage, immediately 

unpack the Gilsonic AutoSiever and inspect for concealed 

shipping damage. Report damage immediately to the shipping 

company. Retain all shipping records and packing materials 

until proper operation is confirmed. 

Place the GilSonic AutoSiever on a stable, level surface at a 

convenient working height.

 

To access the Sieving Chamber (see Figure 3.0), lift the sliding 

door and lock the Sieve Stack Assembly (see Figure 5.1) by pulling 

down on the Sieve Stack Locking Bars until they snap onto the 

top ring of the Fines Collector Holder. Pull the Assembly out to 

remove it from the AutoSiever. The Diaphragm and Fines Col-

lector are part of the Sieve Stack Assembly, but are packaged 

separately for shipping. 

On the back of the AutoSiever, find the Voltage Selector and 

insure it is set to match the voltage of your power supply as 

shown in Figure 3.1. The 110V and 220V settings will work with 

either 50Hz or 60Hz electrical supplies. Connect the supplied 

3-wire grounded power cord to the back of the AutoSiever and 

plug into a grounded electrical outlet.
