1. Introduction

WARNING
DO NOT STORE SWEEPS IN THE BIN. Sweeps are NOT designed to remain in a bin during filling, storage or gravity unloading. A sweep left in a bin during these operations may be severely damaged. The GSI Group will not be responsible for such damages.
General Information
1. We reserve the right to improve our 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.
2. The commercial sweeps have been designed and manufactured to give years of dependable service. The care and maintenance of this machine will affect the satisfaction and service obtained. By observing the instructions and suggestions we have recommended, the owner should receive competent service for many years. If additional information or assistance should be required, please contact the local dealer.
Receiving Merchandise and Filing Claims
When receiving merchandise, it is important to check both the quantity of parts and their descriptions with the packing list enclosed within each package. All claims for freight damage or shortage must be made by the consignee within ten (10) days from the date of the occurrence of freight damage. The consignee should accept the shipment after noting the damage or loss.
NOTE: The only way to prevent damage to the bin sweep, bin floor and wells is to completely remove the
bin sweep from the bin.

Operate Unload Equipment Properly
• Untrained operators subject themselves and others to SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. NEVER allow untrained personnel to operate this equipment.
• NEVER work alone.
• Keep children and other unqualified personnel out of the working area at ALL times. Refer to the Start-Up section of this manual for diagrams of the work area.
• Make sure ALL equipment is locked in position before operating.
• NEVER start equipment until ALL persons are clear of the work area.
• Keep hands and feet away from the auger intake and other moving parts.
• NEVER attempt to assist machinery operation or to remove trash from equipment while in operation.
• Be sure all operators are adequately rested and prepared to perform all functions of operating this equipment.
• NEVER allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs to operate the equipment.
• Make sure someone is nearby who is aware of the proper shut down sequence in the event of an accident or emergency.
• ALWAYS think before acting. NEVER act impulsively around the equipment.
• NEVER allow anyone inside a bin, truck or wagon which is being unloaded by an auger or conveyor. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Keep area around intake free of obstacles such as electrical cords, blocks, etc., that might trip workers.
• NEVER drive, stand or walk under the equipment.
• Use caution not to hit the auger when positioning the load.

B. If the safety sign location suggested is not in full view because of equipment modifications, other
equipment in the area or any reason, then locate the safety sign in a more suitable location.
C. Be certain the surface is clean, dry and free of dirt and oil. Peel paper backing from decals and stick
into place. The adhesive backing will bond on contact.
NOTE: Please remember, safety signs provide important safety information for people working near bin
unloading equipment that is in operation.

1. Attach the pivot yoke to the drive assembly with two (2) 5/8" x 2" grade 8 hex bolts and nylock nuts.
(See Figure 4A.)
Figure 4A Pivot to Drive Assembly
2. Remove the two (2) 3/4" x 1-1/4" grade 8 hex bolts and nuts that attach the belt guard mounting strap to the motor mount frame assembly. These nuts will be reused in the Step 3 on Page 15.
(See Figure 4B.)

3. Thread one 3/4" hex nut onto each post of the bottom motor straps. Next, place the front bottom motor strap through the belt guard mounting strap and the front hole of the motor mount frame assembly. Place the back bottom motor strap thought the back hole of the motor mount frame assembly. Retain the straps by threading one 3/4" hex nut onto each post. DO NOT TIGHTEN the nuts at this time. They will need adjustment when the motor is installed. (See Figure 4C.)
Figure 4C Attach Bottom Motor Mount Strap
4. Place the motor rods into the indentations on the bottom motor straps. Secure the motor rods in place by bolting the top motor straps to the bottom motor straps using eight (8) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts, sixteen (16) flat washers and eight (8) nylock nuts. DO NOT TIGHTEN the nuts at this time. They will need adjustment when the motor is installed. (See Figure 4D.)

5. When installing the bin sweep in the bin, put two (2) 1" flat washers onto the post of the pivot yoke. Place the drive assembly onto the center well pivot tube. (See Figure 4E.)
Figure 4E Drive Assembly to Center Pivot
6. Attach the discharge flight to the connecting shaft on the drive assembly using two (2) 1/2" x 3-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts and stover nuts. The discharge flight is distinguished by the absence of flight ribbon at one end. This end gets attached to the drive assembly. (See Figure 4F.)

7. Attach the discharge back shield to the drive assembly using two (2) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts, four (4) flat washers and two (2) nylock nuts. The discharge back shield does not have the full continuous high back shield. It is cut away at the discharge to allow more grain flow around the drive assembly. This cut back end gets attached to the drive assembly. (See Figure 4G.)
Figure 4G Discharge Shield to Drive
NOTE: Bin sweeps containing more than two (2) sections of flight and back shield can have multiple
configurations. These configurations determine where the flight and back shield joints exist in relation to the center of the bin.
Consider all configurations for the bin diameter before continuing. On bin sweeps with three (3) or more sections of flight and back shield, a carrier wheel assembly is used every two (2) sections.
Choose the configuration for the bin diameter to ensure that the(se) carrier wheel asse mbly(s) do not interfere with the existing well positions.
Damage to the bin sweep and unload well or well grate could result from an incorrect configuration of flight and back shield sections.
See the configuration section for the specific bin diameter on Page 56.

8. Place the 2" O.D. x 11-1/2" connecting shaft into the free end of the flight. Once the holes are aligned properly, attach the shaft to the flight using two (2) 5/8" x 4" grade 8 hex bolts and stover nuts.
(See Figure 4H.)
Figure 4H Connecting Shaft to Flight
9. Place the bearing stand assembly onto the connecting shaft. (See Figure 4I.)

10. Align the next section of flight making sure that the Dura-Edge on both flights are as continuous as possible, the angle between both faces being greater than 90° and less than 180° and without overlapping.
NOTE: Overlapping the flights or having an angle between the ribbon faces be less than 90° or
greater than 180°, will result in reduced unload capacity.
11. Attach the next flight to the connecting shaft using two (2) 5/8" x 4" grade 8 hex bolts and stover nuts. (See Figure 4J.)
Figure 4J Flight to Flight Via Connecting Shaft
12. Attach the matching section of back shield to the bearing stand assembly and the previous section of back shield with two (2) 3/8" x 3" carriage bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts. (See Figure 4K.)

13. Bolt the shield splice plate to complete the connection of the two (2) back shields. Use four (4) 5/16" x 3/4" hex bolts, flat washers and serrated flange nuts. (See Figure 4L.)
Figure 4L Shield to Shield through Splice Plate
14. Repeat Step 8 on Page 18 through Step 11 on Page 19.
NOTE: Bin sweeps with three (3) or more flight and shield sections use a carrier wheel assembly
after every two (2) sections. The first carrier wheel assembly should be installed after the first two (2) sections of flight and shield.
15. Place the carrier wheel assembly over the bearing stand assembly. Attach the previous and next sections of back shield to the carrier and bearing stand assembly using two (2) 3/8" x 3-1/2" hex bolts, four (4) flat washers and two (2) nylock nuts. (See Figure 4M.)

17. Join the segmented wheel bracket to the reduction wheel drive with two (2) 1/2" x 4-1/2" grade 5 bolts, flat washers and nylock nuts. (See Figure 4N.)
Figure 4N Segmented Wheel Bracket to Reduction Wheel Drive
18. Join the mounting bracket and the segmented wheel bracket together with two (2) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts, two (2) flat washers and two (2) nylock nuts. (See Figure 4O.)
