10. Start-Up Procedure
At the beginning of each harvest and before filling the dryer with grain make sure to inspect the dryer for
rodent damage and system integrity. Enter the drying chamber and check each dump hopper. Remove
any obstructions. Test operate the dryer using the pre-season checklist.
There are two (2) fundamental things to control with the Autoflow TopDry (or any dryer). The drying rate
and the grain flow rate. Drying rate is determined by the dryer size and shape, the grain to be dried, the
airflow rate and the drying air temperature. We consider the best temperature to be the highest one where
the desired grain quality is maintained. Corn used for livestock consumption is dried at a maximum
recommended temperature of 200° Fahrenheit. Corn used for different applications and other grains may
require lower drying temperatures. By selecting a drying air temperature a drying rate is established. To
achieve a desired final grain moisture content, the grain flow rate is adjusted to match the drying rate.
Initial Dryer Start-Up
1. Be sure the Control Power switch is OFF. Turn ON the main power supply disconnect for the Autoflow
control box, fan and heaters and all fill systems.
2. Pull out the Emergency Stop switches on the Autoflow control box, fill systems control box and the
actuator control box.
3. Set the switches on the Autoflow control box as follows:
• Moisture Control Switch - “ON”
• Aeration Fan Switch - “AUTO”
• Load Auger Switch - “OFF”
• Fan Switch - “AUTO”
• Heater Switch - “AUTO”
• Dump Switch - “AUTO”
• Dry and Hold Switch - “OFF”
4. Make sure there is wet grain in the wet supply tank.
5. Turn the Control Power switch to the “ON” position.
6. The screen will display a copyright message and software version number.
7. The screen should read “STOPPED”. The chamber high level and the chamber low level should both
read “NO”.
8. Set the dry timer using the following charts for the specific bin size, fan and heater size, drying
temperature and grain input moisture content. Start fans with high option must be made active in
extended setup.
(See Page 17.)
9. Set the dump timer as follows:
• 24' diameter bin = 28 seconds
• 30' diameter bin = 34 seconds
• 36' diameter bin = 31 seconds
10. Set all other delays and timers as prescribed in the Electronic Monitoring Control Section
on Page 15 .
