SERVICE
SEASONAL INSPECTION AND SERVICE
The dryer is made of weather resis-
tant material, and is designed to re-
quire a minimum of service. How-
ever, each season we recommend
the following items be checked be-
fore the unit is used, and any dam-
aged or questionable parts replaced.
These checks will help eliminate pos-
sible failures, and assure dependable
operation of the equipment.
1. Shut off electrical power. Open
power box and control box, and
inspect for moisture, rodent
damage or accumulated foreign
material. Remove any foreign
material present. Inspect and
tighten any loose terminal con
nections. Replace any damaged
or deteriorated wiring.
2. Check propellor for freedom of
rotation and uniform tip clear
ance. It should also be in
spected for dirt and grain dust,
especially inside the hub. Any
additional weight can seriously
effect the balance, and result in-
harmful vibrations and a short
bearing life.
3. Check propellor for free play. Any
side play is an indication of defec-
tive motor bearings, which should
be replaced to prevent a complete
motor failure. Make sure motor
mount bolts are tight.
4. Motor bearings should be lubri-
cated periodically, depending on
operating conditions. Under nor-
mal usage it is desirable to have
the motor cleaned, checked and
bearings repacked by an autho-
rized service station every two
to three seasons. If the unit is
operated continuously through
most of the year, this service
should be performed each year.
Note: If on site bearing relubrication
is to be performed, see lubrication
instructions for ball bearing motors.
To keep motor bearings properly
lubricated, and dispel any accumu-
lation of moisture within the wind-
ings, the fan and auger motors should
be operated for 15 to 30 minutes each
month.
If the motor is equipped with an
alemite fitting, clean the tip of the fit-
ting and apply grease gun. Use 1 or
2 full strokes on motors in NEMA
215 frame and smaller. Use 2 to 3
strokes on NEMA 254 through
NEMA 365 frame. Use 3 to 4 strokes
on NEMA 404 frames and larger. On
motors having drain plugs, remove
drain plug and operate motor for 20
minutes before replacing drain plug.
On motors equipped with slotted
head grease screw, remove screw
and apply grease tube to hole. In-
sert 2 to 3 inch length of grease
string into each hole on motors in
NEMA frame and smaller. Insert 3
to 5 inch length on larger motors. On
motors having grease drain plugs,
remove plug and operate motor for 20
minutes before replacing drain plug.
LUBE PROCEDURES
* The bearings have been lubricated at the factory, thus no lubrication should be added before start up.
