Pre-operation Check List
1. Before filling the grain bin, check to ensure that all unload components are functioning properly.
2. Rotate drive unit and flight to ensure flight is free of obstruction and rotating smoothly.
3. Open and closed all unload gates to ensure that they are operating freely.
4. LEAVE GATES IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN FILLING THE BIN.
5. Operate gearbox shifter to ensure the clutch is functioning properly.
6. GEARBOX SHOULD BE DISENGAGED WHEN FILLING THE BIN.
7. Position the bin sweep above the intermediate gates or such that the intermediate gates are just in
front of the sweep.
8. After the bin is filled with product, keep moisture from entering the grain bin at the center and
draining down into the unload and sweep drive area.
9. Before beginning to unload grain, check the grain condition at the top of the bin. Remove any
clumps of grain as they may restrict flow into the gates.
