Air System Installation Instructions 1. Determine the most convenient location for the airlock and blower. Take into consideration the direction of the prevailing winds. It is important to locate the blower in as clean an environment as possible. This greatly reduces the maintenance requirements on the air filter system.
5. INSTALLATION 9. Measure the distance between the airlock and blower. Use flex hose or a combination of flex hose and galvanized tubing to connect the units together. Note that the grain discharge chute on the airlock is tapered and that grain can discharge in either direction. 10.

Air System Set-Up Procedures 1. The air filter extension tube and housing are connected to the blower inlet by a compression coupler. For extended filter life, if the pneumatic system is being operated in extremely dirty conditions, a longer extension tube can be used between the blower inlet and the air filter. BE SURE the air filter is positioned so that routine inspection and service can be performed.

7. ASSEMBLY See Figure 7D Place the matching set of V-belts on the pulleys. Tighten the belts by evenly turning the cap screws clockwise. Belts should have 3/8" deflection at ten pounds pressure per belt. (See Figure 7E). Figure 7E Figure 7D CAUTION Too much tension on belts will cause blower damage.

Control Box Operational Procedures Automatic operation using the Automatic Controller Unit tied to terminals one (1) and two (2). 1. Switch all circuit breakers to the “ON” position. 2. Place the Blower, Airlock and Auxiliary Control Switches in the “OFF” position. 3.
10. OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT Air System Operation Guidelines 1.Be aware of the quality of grain that is entering and leaving the air system. Grain damage can occur with any pneumatic system unless care is taken to adjust the velocity of the grain. This can be done by opening or closing the outlet gate valve on the blower outlet of the air system.
Page 29
10. OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT 5. The airlock is provided with a housing that incorporates grain shear protection to prevent grain damage. 6. GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION OF AIR SYSTEMS a. Grain in a pneumatic air system running at full capacity will move at about 60% of the air speed.
11. HOOK-UP DIAGRAMS WIRING FOR A SURGE TANK HOOKED TO AN AIR SYSTEM The Air System will start when both P1 and P2 are closed. As it empties, P1 will open but will not stop the unit due to Auxiliary Contacts being closed. When P2 opens, the unit will stop. Note: Be sure the auxiliary switch is in the “AUTO”...

13. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Solution 4. Unit will not start, “ready light” is not 1. Check AC power supply. 2. Check control box fuses. 3. Thermal overload tripped (overload indicator is on). 4. Air pressure limit switch may be misadjusted (less than 5 PSI). If pressure switch is not reset, turn pressure adjustment clockwise until switch resets.
14. COUPLINGS How to Handle Handling Couplings 1. Couplings are shipped ready-to-install... do not disassemble. To prevent gasket from slipping out of proper position, always grasp coupling as shown in Figure 14A. This will save time by maintaining proper position of gasket and sleeve in relation to shell and flange. Installing Couplings 1.
