Manager registration, see the instructions included with the SureTrack gateway or call 855-835-5231.
1.2. Intended Use
The grain dryer is intended for use as listed below and described throughout this manual. Use in any other way
is considered contrary to the intended use and is not covered by the warranty.
Intended use for the grain dryer:
• Designed to dry free-flowing grains, field crops and oil seeds.
1.2.1 Misuse
Do not install/use the grain dryer for/with:
• drying grains at temperatures higher than recommended.
• applications other than drying farm crops.
• excessive chaff, seed pods, half cobs, leafy materials, and other foreign material.
• finely milled grain dust.
• bypassed safety sensors.

2. Safety
2.1. Safety Alert Symbol and Signal Words
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see
this symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury or death, carefully read the message that
follows, and inform others.
Signal Words: Note the use of the signal words DANGER,WARNING,CAUTION, and NOTICE with the safety
messages. The appropriate signal word for each message has been selected using the definitions below as a
guideline.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or
death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
2.2. General Safety Information
Read and understand all safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow them.
• Owners must give instructions and review the information initially and annually with
all personnel. Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death.
• Use for intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the grain dryer in any way without written permission from the manufacturer. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety. Any unauthorized modification will void the warranty.
• Follow a health and safety program for your worksite. Contact your local occupational health and safety
organization for information.
• Always follow applicable local codes and regulations.
2.3. Overhead Power Lines
• Keep grain dryers a horizontal distance of at least 100 ft (30.5
m) from power lines.
• Do not use the grain dryer if there is a chance of any loading
or unloading equipment contacting power lines.
• Do not locate grain dryers on both sides of a power line.
• Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
2. SAFETY CONTINUOUS MIXED-FLOW GRAIN DRYER WITH COMMANDER CONTROL SYSTEM

7713395 R2 9
2.4. Grain Dryer Safety
• Do not overheat grain or operate the dryer temperature too high. Keep the maximum
plenum temperature not more than the maximum set point temperature.
• Be cautious of spontaneous combustion when working with oil seeds.
• Grain dust is a fire hazard. Keep all areas (including areas under the perforated floors) free
from dust and fines.
• Clean out the dryer after using to remove grain dust, husks, and other materials.
• Screen grain before it goes into a bin to help prevent dust and trash buildup. Using a grain
spreader will help distribute dust/fines.
• Ventilate, purge all contaminates, and allow burner, and drying areas to cool inside the
heater, in the heater area and the dryer area before any persons enter these areas.
• Do not remove covers, touch, or service internal components during operation.
• Do not install or combine with products from other manufacturers. The design and safety
features may not be compatible.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of dryer.
• Do not use the dryer where a high concentration of grain dust or flammable liquids or
vapors exist, such as milled grain dust.
• Use the dryer only with the gas types intended, connecting alternate fuel sources to the
dryer can result in fires.
• Shut off and lock out or disconnect power and close valve at gas source before inspecting or
servicing the heater, or when not in use.
• Keep away from fan impeller/blade; high suction can pull a person toward the inlet. Contact
with an unguarded impeller/blade will cause severe injury.
• Keep the fan inlet screen in place at all times.
• Remove foreign material from the fan inlet before operating.
• Do not operate the fan if there is excessive vibration or noise.
• When the power is locked out, fans can still be dangerous because of potential
“windmilling.” Always block the impeller/blade before working on any moving parts.
In case of a dryer fire:
• Turn off gas at the heater and supply tank.
• Shut off and lock electrical power.
• Seal the aeration fan inlet and any other opening to smother
the fire.
• Evacuate all personnel from the area.
• Call the fire department.

2.5. Gas Leak Hazards
If You Smell Gas:
• Turn off gas at the source if possible.
• Do not try to light or relight any appliance.
• Extinguish any flames and remove any sources of ignition from the vicinity of the bin.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Evacuate all personnel from the vicinity of the source of the smell.
• Immediately call your gas supplier. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
2.6. Guards Safety
• Keep guards in place. Do not operate with guard removed.
• Do not walk on, step on, or damage guards.
• Lock out power before removing a guard.
• Ensure all guards are replaced after performing maintenance.
2.7. Work Area Safety
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the grain dryer in case of accident.
• The work area should be kept clear of bystanders, including children.
• Keep the work area clean and free of debris.
2.8. Drives and Lockout/Tagout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down your power
source and gas supply and follow lockout and tagout procedures to prevent inadvertent
start-up and hazardous energy release. Know the procedure(s) that applies to your
equipment from the following power sources.
For example:
WARNING
• De-energize, block, and dissipate all sources of hazardous energy.
• Lock out and tag out all forms of hazardous energy.
• Ensure that only 1 key exists for each assigned lock, and that you are the only one that holds that key.
• After verifying all energy sources are de-energized, service or maintenance may be performed.
• Ensure that all personnel are clear before turning on power to equipment.
For more information on occupational safety practices, contact your local health and safety organization.
