(Cont.)
E. Insert the Unload Flight into the Unload Tube with
the Square bushing end facing the Centerwell,
and the Round bushing end facing the Discharge
End of the T ube.
F.When the Unload Flight is approaching the
Centerwell Square Shaft, it will be necessary to
rotate the Flight counter-clockwise to get it to seat
properly on the Square Shaft. When the Flight is
properly seated, the Flight should be entirely
inside the Unload Tube. It may be necessary to
pull the Flight out a small amount and attempt this
step multiple times in order to seat the Flight
properly.
G. On an initial install with an empty bin, the installer
should open the Centerwell Gate and enter the bin
to check and see that the Flight is seated. Once
they have seen that it has seated, they will know
the proper position the Flight is in on the
Discharge End, when seated properly.

13. MOTOR SELECTION
OPERATION
A. The following horsepower recommendations are for
conveyance of reasonably dry grain. Grain with moisture
content above 15% will require a greater horsepower to obtain
the designed capacity. The maximum possible capacity will be
less with high moisture grain than it will be with dry grain. Use
an electric motor of the correct size that operates at 1750
RPM. DO NOT use a motor size that is greater than what is
shown for the largest bin size in your column.
B. Consideration should be given to the proper size auger for a
batch drying or any intermittent type of operation. When augers
are stopped and restarted under full load, damage to the auger
may result. St arting the auger at a reduced grain load will be
better than starting it at full load. S tartup will be easier and
convey more efficiently if the auger is kept from absolute filling.
The auger capacity can fluctuate greatly under a variety of different
conditions. Moisture content, different commodities, the amount of foreign
matter, and auger speeds affect the performance of the auger and its
efficiency. Moisture content of 25% can reduce auger capacity by as much as
40% under some conditions.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the off
position should be used. The Switch should be locked out whenever work is
being done on the Direct Gear Drive Bin Sweep.
1. Electric motors and the controls should be installed by a qualified
electrician and must meet the standards set by the National Electric Code
and all state and local codes.
2. A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF
position shall be provided. This disconnect shall be locked whenever work
is being done on the auger.
3. A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor when starting and
stopping the Unload system. The magnetic starter should stop the motor
in case of a power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit
interruption, or a motor overload. The motor must then be restarted
manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this
type of a motor is being used, use only those motors with a manual reset.
4. The motor starting controls must be located outside of the bin. Locate the
motor starting controls outside of the bin, but near the bin door so the
operator has full view of the operation inside the bin.
5. Disconnect the power before resetting the motor overloads.
6. Reset controls and the motor staring controls must be located so that the
operator has full view of the entire operation.
7. Make certain that all electric motors are grounded.
8. Shut off and lockout the power to adjust, service, or clean the Unload
system.
35PNEG-1521 Commercial Direct Gear Drive Bin Sweep Auger

14. BEFORE FILLING THE BIN
A. Read the Instructional Decal located on the Upper Bin Flange to learn how to control the Direct Gear
Drive Power Sweep Well Gates.
B. Push the Centerwell and the Intermediate Well Control Rods towards the Bin to close Well Gates.
DO NOT enter a Grain Bin unless all power driven equipment has been
shut down and locked out.
NEVER enter the Bin while the sweep auger is in operation.
DO NOT enter the bin if the grain has bridged, or has flown abnormally
out of the bin. Consult Figures 14-A and 14-B for a visual. Suffocation can
occur if the grain suddenly breaks loose and buries the persons inside
the bin.
C. With the power shut off and locked out, enter the Bin and position the Sweep Auger along side of the
Intermediate Wells.
D. Where a Carrier Wheel Assembly is used, adjust the height so that the Sweep Arm Assembly is
close to the floor, but WILL NOT contact the floor, Intermediate Well Top Flanges, or floor screws.
E. Open the Centerwell Cover Plate, and set it aside. While observing the Clutch Components in the
Centerwell, pull the Clutch Control Pipe from the outside of the bin, until the two (2) Clutch Jaws are
fully engaged. Make a distinguishing mark on the Clutch Control Rod to designate the fully engaged
position.
F. Next, push the Clutch Control Pipe toward the bin to disengage the two (2) Clutch Jaws. Verify that
the Clutch is fully disengaged in the Centerwell. Make a distinguishing mark on the Clutch Control
Rod to designate the fully disengaged position.
G. Tighten the Clutch Control Pipe Position Lock Out Bolt.
I. Reinstall the Centerwell Cover Plate.

OPERATION
16. NORMAL OPERATION
DO NOT start or stop the auger while it is under load, this may cause the
auger to “jam”.
Failures may occur in the auger is run full before it has been polished by
the grain, during the break-in period. The auger should run at a partial
capacity until it becomes polished and smooth. Several hundred bushels
of grain should be run before operating at full capacity.
Be aware of any unusual vibration or noises during the initial start-up
and break-in. If anything unusual is detected, immediately shut down the
auger, disconnect and lockout the power supply before servicing.
Visually inspect the auger periodically during the operation.
A. Start the unloading auger . The motor is located on the powerhead out side the bin, attached to the
unload tube. To find the motor horsepower recommended for your bin size, consult the Chart on page
35, step 13A.
B. Make sure that the Centerwell Bolt and Nut is inserted through the Rack and Pinion Tube and the
Centerwell Control Rod. NOTE: NO bolt should be in the Inside Intermediate Well Control Rod.

C. Use the ¾” Wrench on the Rack and Pinion and open the Centerwell Control Gate until the desired
flow has been established. It should not be necessary to open the Gate more than 3" to 6". DO NOT
open the Gate more than 3" to 6", as the flow of grain into the Centerwell will be at a higher rate than
what the unload system can remove. This will cause the auger to plug or “jam.”
D. Always close the Centerwell Control Gate and allow the Unload Auger to clean out before stopping the
Unload Auger.
E. When the grain flow stops from the Centerwell, close the Centerwell Gate. Insert the Inside
Intermediate Well Bolt and Nut through the Inside Intermediate Well Control Rod and the Centerwell
Control Rod. The remaining grain should look like Figure 16-B.
F.Gradually open the Centerwell and Inside Intermediate Wells until the desired flow has been
established. You should not have to open the gate more than 2" to 4". DO NOT open the Gates more
than 2" to 4", as the flow of grain into the Inside Intermediate Wells and occasional grain flow into the
Centerwell will be at a higher rate than what the unload system can remove. This will cause the
auger to plug or “jam.”
G. Always close the Well Gates and allow the Unload Auger to clean out before stopping the Unload
Auger.
NEVER Unload the Bin from the Outside Intermediate Wells before
unloading the grain from the Centerwell and Inside Intermediate Wells
FIRST. This situation could result in structural damage to the Grain Bin.
H. When the grain flow stops from the Centerwell and Inside Intermediate Wells, insert the Outside
Intermediate Well Bolt and Nut through the Outside Intermediate Well Control Rod and the Outside
Intermediate Well Adapter . The remaining grain should look like Figure 16-C.
I .Gradually open the Outside Intermediate Wells until the desired flow has been est ablished. You should
not have to open the gate more than 2" to 4". DO NOT open the Gates more than 2" to 4", as the flow
of grain into the Outside Intermediate Wells and occasional grain flow into the Centerwell and Inside
Intermediate Wells will be at a higher rate than what the unload system can remove. This will cause
the auger to plug or “jam.”
J. Always close all of the Well Gates and allow the Unload Auger to clean out before stopping the Unload
Auger.
