Chapter 6: Operation
Normal Start-Up
When the dryer is started with grain in the drying chamber that has already been partially dried, the dryer
can be started without making any adjustments to time or temperature; however, the moisture of the grain
should be checked after the fourth dump.
Drying Grain in Last Fill
When all the wet grain has been loaded into the drying chamber, you have reached the last fill for the
TopDry unit and will need to change setting for the last drying cycle.
1. When all the wet grain has been loaded into the drying chamber, push the STOP button on the
TopDry Terminal.
2. Set the time on the Dry Timer for twice the recommended amount using the charts TopDry Terminal
Drying Capacities, page 24 for the specific bin size, fan and heater size, drying temperature and
incoming grain moisture content.
3. Turn the Dry and Hold switch to the ON position.
4. Turn the Load Auger switch to the OFF position.
5. Press the Dryer Power Start button.
6. After the drying cycle is complete, let the aeration fans operate until the grain is cooled.
7. You can manually dump the grain into the storage chamber or let the grain stay in the drying cham-
ber for storage.
8. Refer to Shutting off the Dryer, page 60.
Shutting off the Dryer
A proper daily shutoff procedure prolongs the life of your equipment.

This will result in a Loss of Flame Error.
3. Press the Dryer Power Stop button to clear the error.
4. Turn the Control Power switch to the OFF position.
