4 OPERATION TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER The Walinga Ultra-Vac® is specifically Many features incorporated into this machine designed to vacuum up grain and move it in a are the result of suggestions made by stream of pressurized air. A high capacity air customers like you.
MACHINE COMPONENTS The air pump or blower is the key component in the On the discharge side of the blower, the Ultra-Vac® and is driven by the diesel engine pressurized air flows through the airlock where it through a belt drive system. The blower moves air picks up a metered quantity of grain and moves it through the machine.
Although there are no operational restrictions on the Ultra-Vac® when used for the first time, it is recommended that the following mechanical items Efficient and safe operation of the Walinga Ultra- be checked: Vac® requires that each operator reads and understands the operating procedures and all A.
CONTROLS All controls on the Ultra-Vac® are located on the rear of the machine. Review this section carefully to familiarize yourself with the function and movement of each control before starting. 1. Airlock Control: The right valve controls the operation of the airlock.
4.6 ATTACHING/UNHOOKING The Ultra-Vac® should always be parked on a level, dry area that is free of debris and foreign objects. Follow this procedure when attaching. 1. Clear the area of bystanders and remove foreign objects from the machine and working area.
4.7 MACHINE PREPARATION Before the Ultra-Vac® can be used it must be set up and prepared for operation. When setting-up, follow this procedure: 1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children. 2. Be sure you select a spot that has sufficient space to locate the machine and enough clearance to allow trucks to drive under the discharge cyclone.

OPERATING (cont'd) 10. Stopping Machine Cont’d: Disengage hydraulic circuit and slowly disengage PTO clutch. Stop engine by turning ignition key to OFF and REMOVE. 11. Pre-Cleaner: The machine is designed with a cleaner between the blower and the receiver tank to remove dust and dirt from the air stream.
OPERATING (cont'd) i. If the airlock becomes jammed, use the hydraulics to reverse the direction of airlock rotation and clear the obstruction. j. When on top of grain, do not push the nozzle into the pile next to the feet. The suction will pull the nozzle and the operator into the pile.

5.2.4 AIR SYSTEM RELIEF VALVES The air in this system is moved by the blower. It draws air into the intake side and creates a vacuum that can pick up and draw material into the system. As the air moves through the blower, it becomes pressurized and flows through the airlock to move material out of the system and to its destination.
TROUBLE SHOOTING The Walinga Ultra-Vac® is a high capacity air pump that creates a vacuum for picking up grain and supplies pressurized air for moving the grain. It is a simple and reliable system that requires minimum maintenance. In the following section, we have listed many of the problems, causes and solutions to the problems that you may encounter.
Page 50
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Slow discharge of grain (cont'd). Defective blower. Check clearance between lobes and case. Excessive clearance will decrease air flow. Consult your dealer. Defective airlock. Check that tip clearance is 0.004 inches. Adjust or replace tips as required. Improper setting of flow control Reset flow control.
