1. Introduction Product Introduction Congratulations. Your selection of the GSI Series II Sweep is a wise investment. It will give you years of dependable service. The main function of the Series II Sweep is to clean out the remaining grain, from the bin, after all gravity unloading has finished. The GSI Series II Sweep is a single pass sweep only. The unit will only operate in a round grain bin equipped with a center sump in the bin floor.
1. Introduction Issues Recommendations Bin opening size required for installation. The tail section is the largest piece of a standard Series II Sweep. The dimensions for a 12" tail section are 21-1/4" x 51-1/2". If the bin wall is not too thick, this unit should fit through a 21-1/2" x 45" opening. Voltage specification. The Series II Sweep is designed to operate using 460 volt 3 phase 60 cycle power. The voltage must be within plus or minus 4% for proper operation.

11. Troubleshooting Problem 1. Sweep does not run. Possible Cause 1. Foot switch may not be actuated. 1. Make sure the foot switch is depressed and the switch is operating properly. 2. Overloads may be tripped. 2. Reset the overloads. 3. Adjustable overloads not set correctly. 3. Set overload to 10% over the value listed on motor nameplate for full load amps. 1. The auger may not be fully loaded. 1. Make sure the grain is flowing into the auger, making it fully loaded. 2.
11. Troubleshooting FAQs Who do I contact for parts or service? Contact your dealer. If your unit was purchased direct from GSI, contact your inside sales person. What is/where do I find the model number of my sweep? The model number of your sweep can be found on your quote or invoice. A space is provided at the front of your manual to record this number.
11. Troubleshooting Do I want to buy a pivot or a standard sweep? What is the difference? The following Figure 11A is of a 12" pivot sweep head end weldment and a 12" standard sweep head end weldment. There are very few differences between the two. The standard head weldment has the female pivot tube welded to the drive end of the unit. Two (2) plate braces and one pipe brace support this tube. The pivot head weldment has a lug welded to the underside of the motor mount plate.
11. Troubleshooting How large of an opening do I need for a standard flow (15000 BPH) center sump? If installing a GSI supplied sump shell with collector ring, the opening must be 42-1/2" x 42-1/2" x 30" deep for the 12" sweep. The sump hopper supplied by GSI was designed with sufficient clearance around the collector ring housing to allow grain to gravity flow through the hopper and be carried away by the material handling equipment below it.
11. Troubleshooting Where do I park the sweep before I fill the bin with grain? There is a section in the manual called “Storage Preparation on Page 62”. The section says to “Park the sweep behind the intermediate sumps, so that the sumps are on the auger side of the sweep”. The sweep should not completely cover the inside sump hole (the one closest to the center sump). You will have to clean out around the tractor drive and the jack wheels before operation.
11. Troubleshooting Can I just run my sweep in the manual mode? The Series II Sweep is designed to run in the automatic mode. If the sweep is run in the manual mode, either of the motors may overheat and/or become damaged. Also, excessive amounts of material may spill over the back board of the sweep. How do I set my overloads? The overloads for both motors are adjustable and are not set at the factory. The overload inside the control panel has a small, usually yellow, dial with numbers on it.
11. Troubleshooting The overload for the screw drive keeps tripping. What do I do? The overloads for both motors are adjustable. These are not set at the factory prior to delivery and installation. The overload inside the control panel has a small, usually yellow, dial with numbers on it. Record the full load running amp value listed on the nameplate attached to each motor. Increase the full load amp value by 10% and set this number on the overload dial.
11. Troubleshooting What should I visually inspect? Starting from the drive end of the sweep: Inspect the head jack, caster mounting channel and head casters. Look for any bent or damaged components. Inspect the motor covers. They should be in good shape and should be used properly. If the covers are not used, the material will work its way into the motor cooling slots and when the sweep is started, the motor fan and housing will be destroyed. Inspect the belt guard for damage.
