20. The bin sweep will clear most of the remaining grain in one pass. A second pass will clean out
additional grain, before final clean out.
21. After the bin sweep has made two (2) passes removing most of the grain, it will be necessary to clean
the floor. (See Figure 6H, Figure 6I below and Figure 6J on Page 35.)
NOTE: The bin sweep is composed of several sections of flight and back shields. The bin can be
emptied using just the discharge section of flight and back shield and attaching the wheel
assembly to the free end. After the center of the bin has been swept, the next section of light
and back shield can be attached to the discharge section, with the wheel assembly at the end
of the second section. After the bin has been swept with two (2) sections more the process
can be repeated until the bin is completely empty.
