INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You made a very wise decision in purchasing a Model 54 Hi-Cap Grain Cleaner. With its counter-rotating drums, it will remove more trash and “fines” per bushel than other cleaner in its class. The Hi-Cap offers a wide range of screen sizes to take care of all your screening needs.
SCREENS A variety of screens can be obtained to fit your needs. See Page 50. If screens are not properly placed on the cleaner, grain can get behind the lap and cause problems. The lap should also be over the tumbling bars. See Photo 39. TIRE PRESSURE 20 PSI will give your tires maximum tire life and yet provide flotation for your Hi-Cap while being towed at highway speeds.
