1. Turn the electric motor on.
2. Run until the auger is empty.
3. Turn off motor and lock out power source.

When Equipped with a Gas Engine:
1. If the drive belts are tight, disengage the belts.
2. Start the gas engine. Follow instructions provided with the gas engine for specific starting instructions.

The drive belt should be just tight enough to not slip on the drive pulley. If the belt is too loose, it
will slip, lowering power transfer from the engine and possibly causing a squealing sound. If the belt
is too tight, it will cause excess wear.
4. Adjust gas engine to provide maximum engine RPM.
5. Run until all grain has been emptied from the equipment.
6. Reduce engine speed to low idle.
7. Shut off engine and lock out power source.
8. Shut off fuel supply.

1. Stop or shut down the power source immediately and lock out all power.
2. Stop the flow of material (if applicable).
