S7: Speed – the Rem GrainVac has been designed to run with optimum suction when
your power unit PTO is at a maximum speed of 1000 rpm.
S8: Sweep – don’t work so hard. Once you are in the bin, use the light aluminum
standing floor sweep. First draw down the large piles, then in a pattern of semicircular
“sweeps” across the floor, adding hose & tube lengths, as required, to increase your
sweeping diameter. With the Rem GrainVac, you will make every job a clean sweep.
S9: Sparkle – to ensure good airflow, keep the rotor blades, inlet and exhaust piping,
and drum screen, clean and free of buildup. Remove debris and make the interior
components sparkle.
4.9. Shutdown Procedures
4.9.1. Normal Shutdown
When the job is complete, use the following steps for proper shutdown of the GrainVac:
1. Retract the intake hose from the grain and allow the machine to run for 1 to 2
minutes to completely clean out.
2. Shut down the PTO, wait for all the moving parts to stop, and lock out all power,
before doing anything to the GrainVac.
3. Remove PTO and its safety chain from tractor and place it in its holder.
4. Remove and store hoses, tubes, and nozzles in their original locations (see Figures
4.16 & 4.17).
