18. Attach suitable electric wiring to the motor in a manner that will permit the bin sweep to rotate several

times around the bin. The motor starting controls must be located outside of the bin. They must
NEVER be installed on the bin sweep itself. Locate the motor starting controls outside the bin, but
near the bin door so the operator has full view of the operation inside the bin.

(See Figure 6G.)

19. Restore power and start the unload auger motor. Activate the bin sweep. Each time the bin sweep is

stopped, it may be necessary to adjust the sweep carrier wheel assembly up or down, so that the arm
is allowed to feed into the grain pile, but also not come into contact with the floor. Follow proper safety
procedures before entering the bin to adjust the carrier wheel assembly.

DANGER

DO NOT enter a grain bin unless all power driven equipment has been shut down
and locked out.
