7B. Starting Machine with an Electric Motor
a. Start the motor.
b. Preliminary airlock setting:
i. Engage the airlock hydraulics.
ii. Check the arrow on the indicator to be sure the airlock is turning in the right direction.
iii. Use the flow divider to set the airlock speed to approximately 60 RPM.
iv. Operate the machine for 10 minutes to warm the system before putting under full load.
v. Open the air-slide and insert into grain. Operate at this setting until machine is warm
(10 minutes).
vi. After the warm up period, bring the machine to capacity.
c. Close the air-slide until the intake line starts to pulsate. Open the air-slide slightly to stop it
from pulsing.
d. Watch the glass door in the receiver tank to determine how the product is moving through
the machine. The glass can be covered but should not be stationary. If more product is
being drawn than discharged, the product will lay stationary against the window.
It is important to warm the hydraulic system and the blower reservoirs before going to
the rated speed. The blower will not "warm up" unless the product is being conveyed.
Ensure that the suction nozzle is not in grain before startup. Startup under heavy
suction may overload the motor, drive belts, and blower.
Check the condition of the electrical cord and the plug
to ensure that they are in good condition.
DO NOT OPERATE IF DAMAGED!
