REM - GRAINVAC VR12 4. OPERATION
4.8. GRAIN VACUUM OPERATION PROCEDURE

12. Do not allow water, snow or other forms of moisture to enter the machine. They can
damage the inner working parts and cause plugging by caking up the material. If
these do enter the machine, slow the feed rate by increasing the airflow for a time to
allow the machine to clear itself.
13. By being able to adjust the air throttle, it gives the operator complete control on how
much grain can enter into the tank.
a. In light grains such as sunflowers, oats, or barley, you will be able to vacuum
more grain into the machine than the auger can physically take away. In cases
like this, you will want to keep your auger speed going as fast as possible by
keeping the GrainVac at 1000 rpm, but limit the suction by adjusting the air throttle
to a more closed position (see Figure 4.10). To achieve maximum capacity in light
grains, start by locking your air throttle so the lock pin is in the 4th hole from the
bottom. If you don't see grain rising up in the inspection door window, continue
adjusting the air throttle down one hole at a time until you see it rising up in the
window. If you see it rising up in the window, raise the air throttle by one hole. By
doing this, you will find the maximum capacity where you will not plug the
machine, but the auger is completely full.

b. For regular grains, fully open the air throttle (it is floating; see Figure 4.11).
