6. Operation
Pre-Operation Check List
IMPORTANT: Lock out power source prior to performing pre-operation checks. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury or death.
1. Before filling the grain bin, check to ensure that all unloader components are functioning properly.
2. Rotate driven pulley to ensure U-Trough flight is free of obstructions and rotating smoothly.
3. Open and close all unloader gates to ensure that they are operating freely.
4. ENSURE ALL GATES ARE IN THE CLOSED POSITION PRIOR TO FILLING THE BIN.
5. Verify that the sweep shifts from the OFF to the ON position correctly.
6. ENSURE SWEEP IS IN THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO FILLING THE BIN.
7. Check to make sure there is clearance between the sweep backplate and the floor. (See Page 32 for
sweep adjustments.)
8. Position the bin sweep above the intermediate gates or such that the intermediate gates are just in
the front of the sweep. (See Figure 6A.)

9. After the bin is filled with product, keep moisture from entering the grain bin at the center and draining
down into the unloader and sweep drive area.
NOTE: Poor grain conditions will affect performance of unload/sweep operation.
