Before continuing, ensure you have completely read and understood this manual’s
Safety section, in addition to the safety information in the section(s) below.
5.1. Operation Safety
• Unload the bin only as described in this manual.
• Always try to solve problems without entering a bin from the inspection hatch or filler cap.
• Never enter a bin when loading or unloading.
• Never enter a bin if you don’t know its unloading history. Bridged material may form above
a void space below, causing potential for entrapment.
• Lock the bin access points (where equipped) and close all other access doors when not in
use.
• When filling, use top filler cap and direct product to the center of the bin. Do not fill from
the inspection hatch; this will cause uneven loading and could cause the bin to collapse.
• Never overfill a bin. Material should never come into contact with or place pressure on the
roof.
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the equipment in case of accident.
• Keep the work area clean and free of debris.
5.2. Filling Bin
1. Bins can be loaded by a portable auger or conveyor, or other handling system (where design permits)
through the filler cap, directed toward the center of the bin. Refer to
Section 7. – Specifications on page 31
.
2. Close and secure all access points.
3. Make sure hopper door and roof access point are closed.
4. Any temperature cables must be fastened to the hopper using breakable string (fishing line). Do not attach
weights to the bottom of the temperature cables.
Attaching weights to temperature cables can damage the bin roof and is not covered by
warranty.
5. Confirm maximum uneven settlement is not more than 1.5” from level after initial fill. Contact your dealer
for assistance if required.
6. Use of a spout or chute will help prevent overfilling of the bin and obtain the most amount of storage from
the bin, see
.
Important
The grain bin is full when filled to no more than 1” below the eave.
Opening the inspection hatch on an overfilled bin can cause grain to spill out, creating a
potential falling hazard.
