Introduction
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! Your selection of the GSI Series 2 Sweep was a wise investment. It will give you years of
dependable service. The main function of the Series 2 Sweep is to clean out the remaining grain, from the
bin, after all gravity unloading has finished. The GSI Series 2 Sweep is a single pass sweep only. The unit will
only operate in a round grain bin equipped with a center sump in the bin floor. NOTE: The bin manufacturer
should be contacted for their recommendations on your bin’s structural integrity. The following are sweep
criteria recommendations.
ISSUES RECOMMENDATIONS
Flooring
Center Sump Size
The flooring type of choice is concrete. However, the sweep can be
used on a full aeration floor. When installing a sweep on a full aeration floor, the floor manufacturer should be cont acted for proper
recommendations concerning supporting of the floor. It is required to
lay a track, 10 Ga. minimum with slip resistant finish, under the sweep
at the points of contact of the tractor drive tires, and 10 Ga minimum,
under the points of contact of the intermediate jacks over any type of
aeration flooring, both full floor or flush floor aeration. A chart is
included that shows radius dimensions locating the points of contact
between the sweep and the bin floor. The dimensions may be used to
figure the material quantities of track to support the sweep across the
aeration flooring. The track material is not supplied with the sweep
and must be supplied by the installer or purchased from GSI. The
dimensions are approximate and the assembled sweep should be
checked for exact points of contact.
When installing a 12" standard sweep, the minimum recommended
opening is 36" x 36". With a 16" standard sweep, it is 42" x 42". If
installing a sump with collector ring, the opening will be 42" x 42" for
both sweep sizes.
The sump hopper supplied by GSI was designed with sufficient clearance around the collector ring housing to allow grain to gravity flow
thru the hopper and be carried away by the material handling equipment below. 42 3/4" is the maximum opening size to allow rolling
clearance for the casters assembled to the head end jack. If made
smaller, grain flow may be decreased to an unacceptable level.
Number of Intermediate
Sumps.
PNEG-720-G2 12" & 16" Series II Sweep
**Flow of grain is limited to 15,000 BPH when using this sump and
collector ring housing assembly . The collector ring housing extends
22 1/2" down from the floor surface and is approximately 14 1/4" x 14
1/4" in size.
It is recommended to install the intermediate sumps on a maximum of
10’ centers where the sweep will be parked during storage. The extra
sumps will help clean out the grain in front of the sweep reducing the
start-up load. Doing this will save labor dollars and hours of work to
uncover the sweep and can help the sweep during start-up. The
sweep should be parked behind the intermediate sumps with the
sumps on the auger side of the sweep.

Introduction
Routing the Power Supply
to the Sweep.
Floor Level Tolerance
Bin Roundness Tolerance
Bin Opening Size
Required for Installation
There are three (3) options for routing the power. The most used option is
to run the cords out the door in the sidewall. Another option is to use the
hopper sump with collector ring. This allows the power to be transferred
through a mechanical device in the center sump and does not twist any
cords. This method is popular overseas. Last, is by using the pivot kit,
which routes the power cord through the center sump. Using this kit
requires the sweep to be backed up to the start point after sweeping. The
pivot kit is not the preferred choice due to the cord twisting repeatedly.
The top edge of the sump hopper and the top edge of the "X" brace
support must be level with the floor. The floor must be level within 3/4"
plus or minus, preferably less. Any high or low points must be gradually
sloped. The change in elevation should be no more than 3/4" over 60".
Diameter tolerances are limited by foundation limits and sweep operation as well as structural issues. For 72’ diameter and larger the overall
tolerance would be plus or minus 1 1/4” on the radius, plus or minus 1”
on 42’-66’ diameter bins and plus or minus ¾” on 30’ – 39’ bins.
The tail section is the largest piece of a standard Series 2 Sweep. The
dimensions for a 16" tail section are 23 1/2" x 55 1/4". If the bin wall is
not too thick, this unit should fit thru a 23 1/2" x 47" opening. The dimensions for a 12" tail section are 21 1/4" x 51 1/2" Again, if the bin wall is
not too thick the section should fit thru an opening 21 1/2 x 45"
Electrical Requirements
GSI offers a special Knock Down Sweep, uniquely designed for storage
units with small doors. This sweep is broken into 10 main pieces that can
fit through a door as small as 30 1/2" in diameter for 16", 27 1/2" in diameter for 12", or a 20" x 24" rectangular door. The components are then
assembled inside the storage unit.
Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply
with the National Electrical and any local codes which may apply.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the
OFF position should be used. Disconnect and lock out the power
before servicing the equipment, entering the bin, or resetting the
motor overloads.
The control panel MUST be mounted OUTSIDE the bin near the door. It
must be located so the operator has a full view of the equipment and can
see that all personnel are clear. It must NEVER be installed inside the
bin. The foot switch has to be plugged into the control panel and depressed before the sweep is operational. It has a 10' cord so the sweep
can only be monitored from OUTSIDE the bin. The thermal protection
cord must also be plugged in before the sweep will operate.

Bushel/MT Per Hour H orsepower Bushel/MT Per H our Horsepower
The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture
grain (greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity. The maximum
capacity will be less with high moisture grain than with dry grain.
ALSO NOTE: Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or
flooring provider for possible source and details.

General Product Information
3. CAPACITIES AND SPECIFICATIONS (CONT.)
B. A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop
the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor
over load. The motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload
protection. If this is the type of motor being used, use only those with a manual reset.
C. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
Series II auger inside the bin.
D. Disconnect and lockout the power before resetting motor overloads.
E. Disconnect and lockout the power before entering the bin.
F. Disconnect and lockout the power before servicing the equipment.
G. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
H. Make sure electric motors are grounded.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position should
be used. It should be locked whenever work is being done on the Series II Sweep.
