SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

Thank you for choosing a GSI/Air-

stream product. It is designed to give

excellent performance and service for

many years.

This manual describes the instal-

lation and operation of the Grain

Spreader. It is designed to spread

grain and fines evenly throughout the

bin.

The principal concern of the GSI

Group, Inc. ("GSI") is your safety and

the safety of others associated with

grain handling equipment. This

manual is written to help you under-

stand safe operating procedures, and

some of the problems that may be

encountered by the operator or other

personnel.

As owner and/or operator, it is

your responsibility to know what re-

quirements, hazards and precautions

exist, and to inform all personnel

associated with the equipment, or

who are in the area.  Avoid any alter-

ations to the equipment. Such alter-

ations may produce a very danger-

ous situation, where serious injury or

death may occur.

GSI DOES NOT WARRANT ANY ROOF DAMAGE CAUSED

BY EXCESSIVE VACUUM OR INTERNAL PRESSURE FROM

FANS OR OTHER AIR MOVING SYSTEMS. ADEQUATE

VENTILATION AND/OR "MAKEUP AIR" DEVICES SHOULD

BE PROVIDED FOR ALL POWERED AIR HANDLING SYS-

TEMS. GSI DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF DOWN-

WARD FLOW SYSTEMS (SUCTION). SEVERE ROOF DAM-

AGE CAN RESULT FROM ANY BLOCKAGE OF AIR PAS-

SAGES. RUNNING FANS DURING HIGH HUMIDITY/COLD

WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE AIR EXHAUST OR

INTAKE PORTS TO FREEZE.
