DRYER START UP

CONTINUOUS FLOW AND CONTINUOUS BATCH START UP PROCEDURE

At the beginning of each harvest and before filling the dryer with grain make sure to inspect the dryer for rodent damage, proper belt and chain tension and missing or dam- aged safety shields. Test operate the dryer using the prestart check procedures located on pages 14-17.

1.Before attempting to operate the dryer make sure that all safety shields are in place, all plenum bottom closure panel doors are closed, all rear access doors are closed and all per- sonnel are clear of the grain dryer and grain handling ma- chinery.

2.Turn all SELECTOR switches on the control panel to the OFF position.

3.Turn ON the electric POWER supply to the dryer, and move the safety disconnect handle mounted on the dryer's upper power box to ON.

4.Turn the CONTROL POWER switch to ON. The switch will light up. A copyright message, model number, total running time in hours and minutes, cur- rent date and time will appear. At this point the controller will lock out all other dryer functions. Once the date and time appear, press RESET, and the dryer will perform its safety circuit checks. If a fault is found the cause will

be displayed on the LCD. If all are found safe the controller will allow the electronic FUEL SHUT OFF valve to be manually OPENED (if so equipped), and the DRYING MODE switch will light up, indicating that the dryer is ready to be started.

5.Move the LOAD AUGER switch to MANUAL, and push the dryer POWER START switch. The top auger will immediately start, and the LOAD AUGER switch will light up. If additional grain handling equipment is wired to the dryer it will also start imme- diately.

6.When the dryer is full of grain the top auger will stop auto- matically, and any grain han- dling equipment wired to the dryer will also stop.

CONTINUOUS FLOW

OPERATION

1.Turn the CONTROL POWER switch to ON.

2.After the date and time appear on screen, press the RESET button.

3.Push the dryer POWER START switch.

4.OPEN the main FUEL SUPPLY VALVE on the tank if using LP gas, or OPEN the FUEL SUP PLY LINE if using natural gas.

Turn ON the electric SHUTOFF, Maxon valve (if so equipped), or OPEN the manual SHUTOFF valve to allow fuel flow to the dryer.

5.Turn the DRYING MODE switch to CONTINUOUS FLOW.

6.The dryer should already be filled with grain. Turn the LOAD AUGER switch to the AUTO position. In both the auto and manual positions the dryer grain level switch will automati- cally keep the dryer full of grain. In the auto position the dryer will shut down after a preset time period on the out of grain timer.

7.Turn the FAN switch to ON. The fan will start, and the switch will light up when airflow is detected.

8.Start the burner by turning the HEATER switch to ON. After purging for approximately 10 seconds the burner will fire, and the heater switch will light up. This indicates that the flame sensing circuit is sensing burner flame. For information concern- ing burner adjustment see the pre start section of this manual.

9.Operate the heaters to dry grain for 6-7 minutes per point of moisture to be removed with the plenum temperature set at

180°F. Example: Shelled corn starts with 25% moisture and
