8. Troubleshooting
78 PNEG-1156ETL Design III Series Grain Stir-Ator CSA
5. Unit stops after 45 minutes, Stir-Guard
turned the unit off.
1. Stir-Ator not advancing around the bin.
2. Stir-Guard microswitch acutator roller out of adjustment.
(See Stir-Guard Operation on Page 49.)
3. Excessive moisture on switch shorting out microswitch leads. (Dry and seal
with silicone caulk.)
4. Tilt switch bad. (Replace.)
5. Stir-Guard solid state module bad. (Replace.)
6. Refer also to Problems #3 on Page 77, 6 or 7 below.
6. Auger not advancing through grain.
1. Tilt switch not adjusted properly. (See Operational Adjustments on Page 75.)
2. Auger worn out. (Replace.)
3. Foreign object in grain. (Remove object.)
4. Stir-Ator hung too low in center and auger drags on floor. (Raise enter to
1" high for every 18' diameter.)
5. Excessive moisture and foreign material caused grain to form hard spots.
(Remove grain - See Drying Guide on Page 51.)
6. Frame pivot seized or is otherwise unable to rotate.
7. Track unit does not advance.
1. Gear motor fuses blown. (Replace.)
2. Track unit caught on bin bolt. (Cut off excessive bolt length.)
3. Gear motor tripped out on overload. (Allow to cool - it will automatically reset.)
4. Refer also to Problem #3 on Page 77.

3. Center drive arm bolt sheared. (Replace with 5/16" x 1-3/4" grade 5 hex bolt.)
(Trolley may be caught - locate source.)
10. Excessive machine vibration.
1. Auger bent. (Replace auger.)
2. Auger shaft not completely inserted up into stub shaft socket. (Insert and torque
clamp bolts to 140 ft. lbs)
11. Channelling in the grain.
1. High moisture grain put in the bin is dried with too much heat.
See Drying Guide on Page 51.
2. Excessive fines in the grain restricts air flow and forms hard spots.
(Clean grain.)
3. Uneven heat distribution under drying floor. (Contact burner manufacturer.)
4. Too large of bin and too much heat for the number of augers being used to stir
