SQ08—SQ40 2015 Dryer — Owner/Operator Manual

DISCONNECT

POWER prior to maintaining or cleaning the Dryer! Electricity can kill! Inspections MUST be done with the main power disconnected, LOCKED OUT and TAGGED OUT.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death. The Dryer may start automatically causing serious injury or death.

Check the Automatic Cleanout Device / Cleanout Chute

Check and clean this area: As the Fan is running, this movable slide panel (just above the Lower Plenum) automatically discharges air and foreign material down toward a Cleanout Chute above the Unload Conveyor, thus keeping the Plenum Floor and Upper Plenum areas clean of most dust, fines and beeswings. There is an adjustment screw in a 2'' slot on the left side just below the Plenum Floor line (if one is facing the rear of the Dryer).

The Cleanout Chute ends in a dust-collecting hopper at the rear of the Dryer Plenum and re-directs the materials into the grain stream as they are discharged out of the Dryer. This greatly reduces the need for internal cleaning of the Dryer.
