All SAFETY devices, including wiring of electrical devices, shall be arranged to operate in a “FAIL-SAFE” manner. That is, if a power failure or failure of the device occurs, a HAZARDOUS CONDITION will not result. To prevent a hazardous condition, the machine and all associated equipment MUST be PREVENTED FROM RESTARTING on its own after a power failure when power returns or a jam is cleared. A MANUAL re-start is required.

A Lockout/Tagout device/lockable disconnect switch MUST be installed on Dryer Control enclosures containing hazardous voltage wiring to prevent the Dryer from restarting during a safety check, maintenance, etc.

To guard against electrical shock, all Dryers shall have a GROUND connection. Make sure electrical equipment and the Dryer are properly installed and GROUNDED by a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN according to the National Electrical Code and all applicable state and local codes.

DO NOT take shortcuts or bypasses in installation by using electrical tape instead of proper means. DO NOT remove any SAFETY devices installed on the Dryer. Do not install or use any method to start or restart the Dryer which bypasses factory-installed SAFETY features.

Electrical Installations

DANGER! Electricity can KILL! Use extreme CAUTION around electrical components. Disconnect electrical power BEFORE inspecting or servicing the Dryer. Your Installer should have your electric company check the transformer and lead wires before any installation or service work is performed on the Dryer. Be sure the wires are an adequate gauge to carry the load of your Dryer Motors, including starting and full-load operating conditions. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

All electrical wiring must be done by a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Brock Grain Systems neither assumes responsibility for the electrical wiring used with this Dryer; interlocking equipment EXTERNAL to the Dryer; nor will be liable for damage to the Dryer, or persons, or other property, because of improper electrical installation or use. Improper installation or use will void the Warranty.

The “Service Disconnect” is sometimes located away from the Dryer in a designated electrical room on the facility. Turns power ON/OFF from the outside power service provider. Depending on local codes, it is the responsibility of the Service Provider and/or Owner to clearly mark the Service Disconnect.
