Pre-Season Inspections
Before the dryer is started or filled, fully inspect the TopDry system to ensure all components are in good
working order.
DANGER
Make sure all power sources are locked out and tagged out. If entering the bin,
follow confined space entry procedures.
Drying Chamber
• Inspect dump hoppers for obstructions.
• Make sure that the gaps between the dump chutes and the floor sheets are a minimum of 1-1/2 in.
• Make sure leveling bands are installed correctly and are not damaged.
Rotary Switches
• Make sure all rotary switches are spinning freely.
• Make sure the seals around the rotary switches are water tight.
Dump Chutes
• Make sure the dump chutes are level and parallel to the storage floor.
• Make sure the center plate is no more than 12 in. from the pulley when the chutes are closed (level).
If the center plate is further than 12 in. from the pulley when the chutes are closed, the chains must
be lengthened.
Fuel Supply
• Make sure an adequate gas supply is available.
• Inspect all gas lines and connections for leaks.
• Fix any gas leaks immediately.
