NOTE: Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports not supplied with the sweep unit.
  • Page 20 4. General Product Information Torque values to be used when tightening the bolts on the Series II Sweep It takes more force to tighten a 3/4-10 bolt than to tighten a 1/2-13 bolt because of its larger diameter. It also takes more force to tighten a Grade 8 bolt than it does to tighten a Grade 5 bolt because of the greater material strength.

  • Page 77: Faqs

    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.
  • Page 78 11. Troubleshooting Do I want to buy a pivot or a standard sweep? What is the difference? The following drawing (Figure 11B) is of a 16" pivot sweep head end weldment and a 16" 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.
  • Page 79 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 either the 12" or 16" sweep.
  • Page 80 This switch must be sized for the screw and tractor drive motors. The power must be locked out before servicing the equipment, entering the bin, or resetting the motor overloads. The disconnect and the wiring to the GSI supplied control box is the owner’s responsibility and is not included with the sweep.
  • Page 81 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.
  • Page 82 11. Troubleshooting What do I do if I encounter any operational problems? Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment, entering the bin, or resetting the motor overloads. Look through the troubleshooting section to identify any problems. There does not seem to be any power to my sweep. What do I do? Check to be sure the foot switch is plugged into the control panel and depressed.
  • Page 83 11. Troubleshooting Is there any maintenance I need to perform on the electrical system? None of the electrical components require maintenance. Be sure to disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment, entering the bin, or resetting the motor overloads. Does any part of the Series II Sweep need lubrication? The fluid level of each of the gear reducers must be checked before operation.
