Safety Econo-Mizer 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 guidlines.To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols that are defined below.
Econo-Mizer 1. Disconnect all power before servicing or adjusting. Have bin properly grounded. 2. Do not enter a bin while the unit is operating without proper eye protection. 3. Do not attempt to service or adjust the unit from a ladder unless the ladder is secured to another piece of equipment or to the bin. The grain spreader can swing and will not support a ladder. Be sure electrical power is disconnected. 4. Power cords, plug and receptacles should be the grounded type to prevent injury. 5.
Installation and Operation Econo-Mizer Installation Figure 1: Hanger Brackets and Chains The hanger brackets should be positioned equally spaced around the outer fill hole lip of the bin. Do not tighten the bracket hardware until the spreader has been installed and leveled. Hang the spreader from these brackets by hooking the two chains that are attached to each of the spreader support arms to two adjacent hanger brackets.
Installation and Operation Econo-Mizer INSTALLATION Use Tables A & B to determine the proper size of fuse protection and the length and size of wiring required. Portable extension cords, if used, should be as short as possible to minimize voltage drop. Cords that are too long, or cords that are made of inadequate wire gauge, can cause the motor to fail.
Installation and Operation Econo-Mizer ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION OF CONE HOPPER BAFFLE The cone hopper baffle is used to restrict the entering grain and slow it down enough to ensure that the cone will always be full and overflowing with grain. The cone baffle should be adjusted high enough above the spreading pan to allow the overflowing grain to flow between the hopper and the cone baffle and to not flow over the sides of the main hopper.
