  • Page 10: Settling Chamber Assembly

    INSTALLATION Settling Chamber Assembly The Settling Chamber Assembly reduces the suction force being generated at the discharge box to prevent any kernels from being pulled into the system. A "fresh air" vent is provided to also control the suction force. The Settling Chamber Assembly can be modified with the Vacuum Hose Kit.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION C A U T I O N The discharge box lid is part of the safety features of the dryer. The rear discharge safety switch mounted on the lid is an emergency shutdown switch if the unloading equipment operates incorrectly. Check that the discharge box lid will open and close freely on its hinge.
