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. (See Page 15.) Do not operate in an area where combustible materials can be drawn into the fans or where load and unload augers can come in contact with power lines.

Foundation

A reinforced concrete pad or similar permanent foundation is recommended for dryer stability. See Pages 16 and 17 for details.

Supporting the Dryer

The wheels are to be used for transporting the dryer only when empty. Before loading any grain into the dryer, the frame of the unit on each side must be supported. Place concrete blocks on each side, every six feet of the frame, as well as at the hitch mount location with the hitch removed. The blocks must be able to support the dryer as well as the additional weight of the grain when full. Use shims to provide uniform, level support for all blocks. The dryer should be at least 16'' off the pad to allow for clean-out and the use of auxiliary grain handling equipment. The hitch tongue should be removed, but the hitch assembly and the fan support must be left on during operation; they are not part of the transport tie down assembly.

NOTE: Use a minimum of one (1) support per each six feet of basket length on each side.

Supporting the Dryer with the Optional Steel Support Legs

Anchor points may be cast into the concrete slab or the dryer may be tied down by cables and turnbuckles to anchors installed at the edge of the slab. This helps prevent overturn or lateral movement by wind or other forces.

Wet Grain Supply

A wet grain holding bin provides gravity flow to the dryer or loading conveyor. This conveyor may be electrically connected to the power circuit provided in the main control box. Initially, the dryer will fill completely. During drying, the top auger will start and stop as required depending upon the dry grain discharge rate and grain shrinkage to maintain the dryer fill. If the dryer does not fill within the pre-set time on the Out of Grain Timer (see owner’s manual for instructions on setting this timer), the dryer will shut down.

Dry Grain Removal

The dry grain is normally discharged out of the rear end of the dryer. Front discharge is an optional feature. A take away system needs to be provided to remove grain from the drying system. This conveyor may be electrically connected to the power circuit provided in the main control box.
