General Information
InterSystems reserves the right to improve its product whenever possible and practical to do so. We
reserve the right to change, improve and modify products at any time without obligation to make changes,
improvements and modifications on equipment sold previously.
This manual covers the installation and operation for the Bucket Elevator. This manual provides
guidelines for installing the product. You must retain a qualified contractor to provide on-site expertise.
INTERSYSTEMS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT.
DO NOT exceed the elevator’s rating. A certified drawing or drawings furnished with the elevator gives
its capacity in BPH (Bushels Per Hour) plus the weight per cubic foot and the weight per bushel of the
commodity or material the elevator is designed to elevate. The drawing also specifies the operating
speed of the elevator belt and other pertinent data. Consult InterSystems. before making any changes to
the elevator or its operating environment; in particular, any change in the speed or power of the elevator
drive. Careless changes could result in death or serious injury to people, and/or reduce the performance
and service life of the equipment.
Never perform any service on this elevator or any other powered equipment until all power has been
shut off and locked out so that it cannot be restored without the consent and knowledge of the person who
interrupted power. Power includes electrical, fluid, mechanical (cable, belt, chain, shaft, etc.) or gravity
where the load or part of the equipment is suspended. Never add restraint to an explosion vent. If the
elevator structure is damaged to the extent the relief panels will not stay in position, make proper repairs.
Remember the vents are designed to blow out readily, limiting damage and injury, in case of explosion.
Failure to observe all safety precautions, including those dictated by ordinary common sense, can result
in death or serious injury to personnel, loss of product (elevated material), and damage or destruction of
the equipment.

2. Modifications to equipment may cause extremely dangerous situations that could result in damage
to the equipment as well as serious injury or death. Never modify the equipment.
3. InterSystems recommends that you contact the local power company to have a representative survey
