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 your 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

Series II auger inside the bin.
