6. Operation
32 PNEG-1049 10"-12" Commercial Bin Sweep Augers
14. Gradually open the center well, inside intermediate wells and outside intermediate wells until the
desired flow has been established. DO NOT excessively open the gates, as the flow of grain into the
inside intermediate wells and occasional grain flow into the center well will be at a higher rate than
what the unload system can remove. This will cause the auger to plug or “jam”.
15. Always close the well gates and allow the unload auger to clean out before stopping the unload auger.
16. When the grain flow stops from the center well, inside intermediate wells and the outside intermediate
wells, close the center well and intermediate well gates. The remaining grain should look like Figure 6E.

Step 5 on Page 16 .
All power should be disconnected and locked out before entering the bin.
DO NOT enter a grain bin unless all power driven equipment has been shut down
and locked out.
The center well gate must be FULLY open during the bin sweep operation.
