Installation
2. Continue attaching scraper sections on backboard until all are installed or until all visible slots in
backboard have been filled. Scraper closest to center sump may only be 18" long depending on
bin diameter. If an 18” section is used, it must be field-attached to inside end of backboard. All
scraper sections provided may not be used. NOTE: If an 18” section of scraper is needed, it will
be factory-attached to back of backboard. Remove and attach to front as directed.
3. Once all scrapers and all other equipment for bin have been installed, exit bin and engage sweep
auger. Start unload system and allow sweep to make one complete revolution in bin to make sure
there is nothing on floor that will catch on scrapers.
DANGER: KEEP AWAY when auger is running. Entanglement with rotating auger will
cause death or serious injury.
4. If scrapers catch on anything, stop unload system and remove obstacle. If it cannot be removed,
raise scraper section that was hitting obstacle until it clears. Back up sweep a couple feet, exit bin
and resume test.
5. Once scrapers are adjusted so sweep can make its revolution in bin freely, shut power off and
make sure scrapers sections are tight. Once bin has been filled, floor and sweep may flex due to
weight of grain. It may be necessary to adjust scrapers again. Make sure sweep auger is
positioned just behind intermediate sumps.
