4.8     OPERATING (cont'd)

 

 

 
5.  Starting Machine (cont’d) 

 

e.   Slowly engage the PTO/Clutch control to 

the drive system. (Fig. 4-8 )  

 
 

f. 

Increase engine speed until it is at  

 

 

3/4 throttle. 

 
 

g.  Engage airlock hydraulics.  Be sure airlock 

is turning in the forward direction. 

 

h.  Operate machine at 3/4 speed for 10 

minutes to warm system before putting 
under full load. 

 
 

IMPORTANT 

             It is important to warm the hydraulic 

system and blower reservoirs before going 
to rated speed.  The blower will not "warm 
up" unless product is being conveyed. 

 
        i.   Open airslide approximately 2 inches and 

insert into the grain.  Operate at this 
setting until the machine is warm (10 
minutes).  

 
 
         j.    After warm up period, bring machine to   

capacity. 

 
 

 

 i.  Increase engine speed to rated RPM. 

 

 

 ii.  Close airslide until the intake line 

starts to pulsate.  Open slightly to stop 
pulsing. 

 

 

 iii.  Watch glass door in receiver tank to 

determine how the product is moving 
through the machine.  The glass can 
be covered but it should not be 
stationary.  If more product is being 
drawn in than discharged, the product 
will lay stationary against the window. 

 
          6.    Airlock Speed: 
 

      

                 Refer to the Table 2 as a guide  
                 for setting the airlock speed.  Use the 
                 flow control to adjust the speed and  
                 count the revolutions using the arrow on  
                 the wheel.  It may be necessary to  
                 experiment to determine the best  
                 speed.
