Fans pull more amperage when
empty than when full of grain,
and may trip overload. Over-
loads are adjustable up or down
15%.
8. The OUT OF GRAIN TIMER
should be set between 5 and 15
minutes.
9. The MOISTURE CONTROL
setting controls the temperature
of the grain, and therefore the
output moisture. The SPEED
control does not effect moisture
output unless speed is out of ad-
justment either too high, too low
or the MOISTURE CONTROL
switch is OFF. Use the SPEED
control to keep the MOISTURE
CONTROL hold light cycling ON
or OFF. If the light is cycling
properly it will be on 10 to 50%
of the time.
