FAQs
Who do I contact for parts or service?
Contact your dealer. If your unit was purchased direct from GSI, contact your inside sales person.
What is/where do I find the model number of my sweep?
The model number of your sweep can be found on your quote or invoice.
How complete is the “X” Series Sweep?
With the exception of a few electrical connectors, all components required to assemble your sweep
are included.
How level does my floor need to be for the sweep to operate properly?
The top edge of the sump hopper and the top edge of the “X” brace support must be level with the
floor. The floor must be level within 3/4" plus or minus, preferably less. Any high or low points must be
gradually sloped. The change in elevation should be no more than 3/4" over 60".
Where should the center pivot pipe be located?
The center pivot pipe must be in the center of the bin. If it is not, the sweep could hit the bin wall. There
should be between 2" and 14" of clearance between the end of the sweep and the closest obstruction
(bin wall, stiffeners, etc.).
How round must my bin be for the sweep to operate properly?
Diameter tolerances are limited by foundation limits and sweep operation as well as structural issues.
For 72' diameter and larger bins, the overall tolerance would be plus or minus 1-1/4" on the radius, plus
or minus 1" on 42'-66' diameter bins and plus or minus 3/4" on 30'-39' bins.
