Use Caution in the
Operation of this
Equipment
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature
of a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment and
high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel, which
can not be completely safeguarded
against, without interfering with ef-
ficient operation and reasonable ac-
cess to components.
Use extreme caution in working
around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary convey-
ors, which may start without warn-
ing when the dryer is operating on
automatic control.
7. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers
and auxiliary conveyors which START AUTOMATICALLY.
8. Do not operate in any area where combustible material will be drawn into
the fan.
9. Before attempting to remove and reinstall any propellor, make certain to
read the recommended procedure listed within the servicing section of
the manual.
10. Clean grain is easier to dry. Fine material increases resistance to airflow
and requires removal of extra moisture.
This product is intended for the use of grain handling only. Any other
use is considered a misuse of the product.
Some edges of the product components can be sharp. It is recom-
mended that each component of this product be examined to deter-
mine if there are any safety considerations to be taken. Any and all
necessary personal protective equipment should be worn at all tines
when handling, assembling, installing and operation of the product
and/or components.
Guards are removed for illustration purpose only. All guardsmust be
KEEP THE DRYER CLEAN
DO NOT ALLOW FINE

tion of automatic equipment de-
pends, to a great degree, upon the
owner. For a safe and dependable
drying system, follow the recommen-
dations within this manual, and make

operation of the unit for any devel-
oping problems or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of the safety pre-
cautions listed above before attempt-
ing to operate the dryer.
