    4. Assembly and Installation Track Installation NOTE: The wall track has two (2) different hole spacings: 18-15/16" on the single and double auger units and 12-5/8" on the triple auger units. (See Figure 4A.) Figure 4A 1. The track is installed 10-1/4" distance from the eave of the bin to the center line of the track. Bins with steeply pitched or domed roofs may allow the 10-1/4"...
  • Page 21 4. Assembly and Installation 2. The Stir-Ator wall track is installed as follows: a. Fasten the 3 hole connector to track using a 5/16" x 1" bolt through the first hole and a 5/16" split locking washer and hex nut. (This bolt does not go through the bin.) Tighten with socket head on impact wrench.
  • Page 22 The closer the augers run to the bin wall, the less chance of grain spoilage. Drying in cold weather can require the use of wall liners (not sold by GSI) or air tubes (sold separately) to minimize bin wall spoilage.

  • Page 23: Suspension Chains

    (See Figure 4F and Figure 4G.) A hole in the suspension hooks is provided if bolting the hooks in position is desired. NOTE: For GSI bins larger than 33' diameter an alternate method of mounting is to attach suspension chain to intermediate center collar.

For Double and Triple Auger Units: Bolt outboard frame end and track unit assembly to the frame rails using six (6) 3/8"...

  • Page 27: Trolley

    4. Assembly and Installation Trolley NOTE: 36' and larger double auger trolleys require the hold-down rods to be moved to the bottom hole position. This is done by removing the spring clip and pulling the rod out and reinserting it in the bottom holes from the side away from the down auger motors.
  • Page 28 4. Assembly and Installation 2. For Double and Triple Auger Units: Bolt inboard frame end to frame rails using six (6) 3/8" and 1" carriage bolts, 3/8" lock washers and hex nuts. The rounded side should be to the inside. Use the two (2) bottom holes.
  • Page 29 4. Assembly and Installation NOTE: Two (2) hole locations are provided. The upper hole is used on single auger units only, as indicated on the decal. For double and triple auger units, use the lower hole. (See Figure 4R.) Figure 4R Double and Triple Auger Position 4.

  • Page 37: Track Gear Motor

    4. Assembly and Installation Track Gear Motor 1. Cut lead-in wire loose from yoke pipe by cutting the zip tie. Be careful not to damage the wire. 2. Unwrap gear motor wire from the yoke tube and strip the end. Remove the fuse cover from the junction box using a phillips screwdriver.

  • Page 38: Lifting Stir-Ator

    4. Assembly and Installation Lifting Stir-Ator 1. The Stir-Ator is now ready to be lifted into position. Use a chain hoist, winch or block and tackle. At the center, use the center lift hook on top of the suspension tee. (See Figure 4AI.) Figure 4AI 2.
  • Page 39 4. Assembly and Installation 3. Always fasten the trolley securely with vise grips or another suitable tool so that it cannot roll back and forth on the frame rails. Keeping the trolley toward the center of the bin will make lifting the Stir-Ator track unit into place easier.
  • Page 40 4. Assembly and Installation 4. When the suspension bar is about 16" above the eave height, the ends of the suspension chains should be placed through loops and around the tube ends and hooked back on the main strand with the “S”...

  • Page 41: Suspension Chain

    4. Assembly and Installation 6. The unit should be hung slightly higher at the center than at the bin wall. Stand at a right angle to the frame rails and sight along them and across to the wall track. When the center height is properly positioned, the frame should be 1"...
  • Page 42 4. Assembly and Installation 3. Use the shut off support chain(s) to hold the shut off chain so that there is adequate clearance between the shut off chain and the Stir-Ator as it travels underneath. (See Figure 4AQ.) Design III Stir-Ator Figure 4AQ 4.
  • Page 43 4. Assembly and Installation Figure 4AS The lead-in wire from the Stir-Ator to the switch box must be longer and looser than the shut off chain itself. Should the Stir-Ator malfunction and engage the shut off, this prevents the lead-in wire from being torn from the switch box which could WARNING result in serious electrical shock.

  • Page 44: Installing Stir-Ator Augers

    The Stir-Ator augers should clear the drying floor by 3" for bins up to 30' and 4" for bins 33' and over. If a grain flow system or bin sweep is installed or to be installed, refer to the owner’s manual for those products or contact your dealer or The GSI Group for auger floor clearance specifications. (See Figure 4AU on Page 45.)
  • Page 45 4. Assembly and Installation The overall size and dimension chart can be useful for cutting the Stir-Ator auger to the proper length. (See Figure 4AU.) Figure 4AU Design III Stir-Ator - Overall Size and Dimensions NOTE: DMC has a one-season warranty on its down augers up to 22' long. DMC offers no warranty on 24' long down augers.
  • Page 46 4. Assembly and Installation Cutting Augers NOTE: When shortening a down auger, cut from the bottom and be sure the flighting is re-welded properly before cutting the auger. Cutting the auger from the top will void the warranty. 1. Stir-Ator down augers are manufactured to allow them to be cut to the required length by cutting them from the bottom end instead of the top.
  • Page 47 4. Assembly and Installation Slide the auger into the stub and align the holes in the stub shaft and the auger shaft. Place the auger clamp with the spring pin over the holes so the spring pin is inserted into the auger. Evenly torque the clamp bolts to 140 ft.-lbs.

  • Page 48: Chapter 5 Operation

    5. Operation Start-Up Procedure (Full Bin) 1. First, with the power turned “OFF” at the switch box under the bin roof, turn power “ON” at the panel on the ground. Start the unit with the switch box under the bin roof. If the augers are not set too tightly in the grain, the Stir-Ator will run.

    5. Operation Track Unit Drive Sprocket The Design III Stir-Ator has the versatility to adapt to the changes in the physical characteristics of the grain. The roller chain sprocket on the gear motor is connected to the track drive wheel by means of the roller chain.

  • Page 50: Storage

    5. Operation Stir-Guard Option Installation Instructions 1. Disconnect power to the unit. 2. Remove the two (2) long swivel covers on the Stir-Ator yoke swivel housing. 3. For 230 volt units, remove the two (2) self-tapping screws on the top of the swivel yoke enclosure. Position the solid state module #2EL1207 inside the top of the yoke swivel housing with the five (5) terminals on the module pointing toward the Stir-Ator swivel.

  • Page 51: Drying Guide

    5. Operation Drying Guide NOTE: Drying in grain depths of over 18' is not advised. The recommendations below are for drying bins without wall-liners or air tubes. If such equipment is used, higher temperatures can be used without worry of bin wall moisture. Consequently, a faster fill rate also can be utilized.
