load system. Close all intermediate sump gates.
You are now ready to proceed with unloading grain with the bin sweep.
Unload Grain with the Bin Sweep
To prevent damage, do not operate the bin sweep until it is fully exposed.
1. Shut down and lockout all power to the bin unload system.
To prevent damage to the unload system, do not engage the binsweep while underfloor auger
iis operating.
2. Release the locking lever and engage the bin sweep (by shifting the lever away from bin wall). Lock the shift
lever into place.
3. Start the bin unload system.
4. Make sure the center sump is fully open, and maintain a constant grain flow.
5. When grain flow stops and the bin is clean, raise the sweep stop for the bin sweep to complete a second
pass. Park the bin sweep so it lines up next to the intermediate sumps.
Failure to park the bin sweep in the “start/park position” could result in damage to the bin
sweep, underfloor auger, and/or aeration floor.
4.5. Emergency Shutdown
In an emergency situation:
1.
Stop or shut down the power source immediately and lockout power.
2.
Ensure the bin unload components come to a stop before inspecting.
3.
Correct the emergency situation before resuming work.
