5. Operation
PNEG-1421 Direct Gear Drive Bin Sweep Auger (with Roller Wells) 37
Before Filling the Bin
1. Read the instructional decal located on the upper bin flange to learn how to control the direct gear
drive power sweep well gates.
2. Push the center well and the intermediate well control rods towards the bin to close well gates.
3. With the power shut OFF and locked out, enter the bin and position the sweep auger along side of
the intermediate wells.
4. Open the center well cover plate and set it aside. While observing the clutch components in the center
well, pull the clutch control pipe from the outside of the bin, until the two (2) clutch jaws are fully
engaged. Make a distinguishing mark on the clutch control rod, outside the bin, to designate the fully
engaged position.
5. Next, push the clutch control pipe toward the bin to disengage the two (2) clutch jaws. Verify that the
clutch is fully disengaged in the center well. Make a distinguishing mark on the clutch control rod,
outside the bin, to designate the fully disengaged position.
6. Tighten the clutch control pipe position lock out bolt.
7. Reinstall the center well cover plate.
DANGER
1. Electric motors and controls must be installed by a qualified electrician and
must meet the standards set by the National Electrical Code and all local and
state codes.
2. A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF
position shall be provided. This shall be locked whenever work is being done on
the auger.
3. 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. Then the motor must be
restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this
type motor is used, use only those with a manual reset.
4. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. 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.
5. Disconnect power before resetting motor overloads.
6. Reset and motor starting controls must be located so that the operator has full
view of the entire operation.
7. Make certain electric motors are grounded.
8. Shut OFF power to adjust, service or clean.
