Shutdown
PNEG-1391 8",10", & 12" BE-SAW Augers
1. NORMAL SHUTDOWN
A. Make sure that the hopper and auger are
empty before shutting down the unit.
B. Before the operator leaves the work area, the
power source should be locked out, as
described on below.
2. INTERMITTENT OPERATION SHUTDOWN
A. During intermittent operations such as batch
drying, give careful consideration to the size
of auger to use. Using a larger diameter auger
and reducing its load level is far better than
subjecting a smaller diameter auger to high
loads. An auger that is kept from absolute filling
will start-up easier and convey more efficiently.
3. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
A. If you have to immediately shutdown the auger
under load, be sure to disconnect and
lockout the power source.
B. Remove as much grain from the hoppers and
auger that you can before restarting.
C. Never attempt to restart the auger when it is
full.
D. When as much grain as possible has been
cleared from the hoppers and the auger,
reconnect the power source and clear the
remaining grain gradually.
4. LOCKOUT
A. To lockout the auger, stop the auger and turn
off the power supply.
B. The operator should lockout the SAW auger
in the following situations:
•
Anytime the operator leaves the work
area, such as after shutdown.
• Anytime the operator services or adjusts
the auger.
IMPORTANT: Starting the auger
under load may result in damage to
the auger. Such damage is consid-
ered abuse of the equipment.
IMPORTANT: Do not stop and
restart the auger when it is fully
loaded. This may damage the
auger.
WARNING: Precaution should be
made to prevent anyone from
operating the auger when the opera-
tor is absent from the work area.
The operator must stop the auger
and turn off the power source any
time he/she must leave the work
area, or service/adjust the auger.
