Start-up and Break-in Guidelines
It is essential to inspect the VersaLoop™ and drive components before adding power and to know how to
shut down in an emergency. During the operation of the VersaLoop™, one person should be in a position
to monitor the operation.
Any conveying equipment, when it is new or after it sits idle for a season, should go through a “break-in”
period. It should be run at partial capacity at full speed until the inside of the housing becomes polished,
before attempting full capacity. Failure will most likely occur when it is run at full capacity before it has a
chance to get shined up.
During the initial start-up and break-in period, the operator should be aware of any unusual vibrations or
noises.
VersaLoop™ – Standard Operation
During the regular operation of the VersaLoop™, one person shall be in position to monitor the operation.
It is a good practice to inspect the unit periodically during the operation and be alert for unusual vibration,
noise and loosening of any fasteners.
Check to make sure the gates are either open or closed to have grain delivered to desired location.
Start the VersaLoop™ motor before adding the grain to the VersaLoop™.
Begin adding grain to the unit slowly, and gradually increase the flow until the VersaLoop™ reaches the
full capacity.
Monitor the grain entering and exiting the VersaLoop™ during operation until shutting down the unit.
Before shutting down, make sure to shut off the grain flow, and then allow the VersaLoop™ to empty.
Make sure to lock out the power source before leaving the work area.
