1. Introduction READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to properly use and install equipment. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. INSPECT the shipment immediately upon arrival. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all quantities are correct. The customer should report and note any damage or shortage on the bill of lading to justify their claim to the transport company.
2. Safety Safety Guidelines This manual contains information that is important for you, the owner/operator, to know and understand. This information relates to protecting personal safety and preventing equipment problems. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to inform anyone operating or working in the area of this equipment of these safety guidelines. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols that are defined below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.
2. Safety Emergency Stop Switch The emergency stop switch is located on the upper control box door. Pushing the emergency stop switch will interrupt the control power and stop all dryer functions. Pushing the emergency stop switch does not interrupt the main power to the upper control box panel. Figure 2A Safety Instructions Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with this equipment. We want to keep you as a customer.
2. Safety Safety Precautions READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE 1. Read and understand the operating manual before trying to operate the dryer. 2. NEVER operate the dryer while the guards are removed. 3. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use CAUTION in checking voltage or other procedures that require the power to be ON. 4. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are detected, DO NOT operate dryer.
2. Safety Safety Sign-Off Sheet As a requirement of O.S.H.A., it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the safe operating and safety procedures for this auger. This sign-off sheet is provided for your convenience and personal record keeping. All unqualified persons are to stay out of the work area at all times. It is strongly recommended that another qualified person who knows the shut down procedure be in the area in the event of an emergency.
3. Safety Alert Decals The GSI Group recommends contacting your local power company and having a representative survey your installation so the wiring is compatible with their system and adequate power is supplied to your unit. Safety decals should be read and understood by all people in the grain handling area. If a decal is damaged or is missing, contact: GSI Decals 1004 E. Illinois St. Assumption, IL. 62510 Phone: 217-226-4421 A free replacement will be sent to you.
3. Safety Alert Decals WARNING! Decal: DC-972 Decal DC-972 is located on the bottom auger belt guard and the front bearing plate (which is visible when the bottom auger belt guard is removed). An alternate location would be at the rear of the dryer for portable dryers equipped with the Front Discharge Option. Moving parts can crush and cut. Keep hands clear. Do not operate without guards in place. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
3. Safety Alert Decals WARNING Flame and pressure beyond door can cause serious injury. Do not operate with service door removed. Keep head and hands clear. Decal: DC-1227 Decal DC-1227 is located on the fan/heater access door. DC-1227 Decal: DC-1225 WARNING Stay clear of rotating blade. Blade could start automatically. Can cause serious injury. Disconnect power before servicing. Decal DC-1225 is located on the fan/heater access door. DC-1225 WARNING Rotating metering roll.
3. Safety Alert Decals Decal: DC-973 Decal DC-973 is located on the rear plenum access door (inside and outside). Automatic equipment can start at anytime. Do not enter until fuel is shut off and electrical power is locked in off position. Failure to do so will result in serious injury or death. DC-973 Decal: DC-388 16-17" 3/4" MINIMUM BOLT DIAMETER Hitch pin must be securely fastened and no less than 3/4" in diameter. Failure to follow installation instructions may result in property damage.
4. Transporting the Dryer The dryer is available with an optional transport kit for transporting the unit by truck or tractor. Make certain to observe the following safety precautions. 1. Recommended towing hitch height is 14"-17''. (See Figure 4A.) Figure 4A Use a 14"-17'' Towing Hitch Height and a Safety Chain 2. Hitch bolt must be at least 3/4" in diameter and securely fastened with a locking nut, so it will not come out during travel and the hitch will not bend. (See Figure 4B.) 3.
5. Installation Location of the Dryer When considering the exact location of the dryer, also consider the wet grain supply and dry grain discharge, as well as the location of storage bins and other grain handling equipment. Do not install the dryer inside a building or in any other area where not allowed by electrical codes, fuel installation regulations and/or insurance requirements. Maintain a minimum distance of at least three feet from other structures, otherwise air flow problems may occur.

8. Fuel Connection Liquid Propane (LP) Liquid Draw The dryers have internal vaporizers and are designed to operate on liquid draw from the supply tank. The tank should be 1000 gallons or larger and should not have a regulator mounted to it. The connection to the dryer should be with a flexible hose designed for LP gas, See chart on Page 20 for proper size.

9. Electrical Power Supply Power Supply An adequate power supply and proper wiring are important factors for maximum performance and long life of the dryer. Electrical service must be adequate to prevent low voltage damage to motors and control circuits. (See Electrical Load Information on Pages 23-30). Power supply for single phase models must include a neutral wire.
9. Electrical Power Supply Proper Installation of Ground Rod The rod should not be driven into dry ground. Follow these instructions for proper installation. 1. Dig a hole large enough to hold one (1) to two (2) gallons of water. 2. Fill hole with water. 3. Insert rod through water and “jab” it into the ground. 4. Continue “jabbing” the rod up and down. This allows the water to work its way into the ground, allowing it to be completely inserted into the ground.
10. Electrical Load Information The following charts provide information for the electrician wiring the grain dryer and are a reference guide for parts. You should contact the local power company and have a representative survey the installation to see that the wiring is compatible with their system and that adequate power is supplied to the unit. Remember that the only thing connected to the recommended service amps should be the grain dryer. Adhere to all electrical safety practices and codes.
