NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain
(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will
be less with high moisture grain than with dry grain.
Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports
not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or flooring provider for possible source
and details.
2. A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop
the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor
overload. The motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload
protection. If this is the type of motor being used, use only those with a manual reset.
3. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
Series II auger inside the bin.
4. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.
5. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.
6. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.
7. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.
8. Make sure electric motors are grounded.
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. The disconnect must be locked in the off position before
unplugging either end of the cord. It should also be locked whenever work is
being done on the Series II Sweep. This has been integrated into the control panel
after June of 2010.
