PNEG-751-G2 12" Series II Sweep 131' and 135' Diameter

Capacities and Specifications

A. Use the

Chart below

to determine the horsepower required.

NOTE: Sweep is not designed to start under full load.

NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain

(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity.

NOTE: Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports

not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact the installer or flooring provider for possible sources
and details.

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
overload. 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 lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.

E. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.

F. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.

G. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.

H. Make sure electric motors are grounded.

Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The
motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National
Electrical Code and any local codes. Locate reset and motor starting stations so
the operator can see that all personnel are clear of the equipment.

There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.

A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. It should be locked in the OFF position whenever work is being
done on the Series II Sweep.
