WARNING
It is essential that the Stir-Ator is supplied via a safety isolator located at the
eaves hatch of the bin. This must be rated to IP 65 minimum and have a current
rating no less than 32 amps. The switch must also be lockable.
DANGER
Once the auger is installed into a grain bin, the bin becomes a hazardous
environment. No-one must ever be in the bin when the auger is operating.
WARNING
GSI recommends the installation of safety switches on the personnel door so
that whenever the door is opened all equipment stops automatically and cannot
be restarted without the door first being closed and the operator restarting at
the main control panel.
WARNING
GSI recommends the installation of suitable emergency stops to stop all
equipment within the bin in the event of an emergency.
DANGER
This is the responsibility of the installer and a requirement under the CE
directives to which this installation must comply. Failure to do so can endanger
life and will invalidate any warranties and guarantees.
