8. The fuel has been turned ON at the tank.
9. The electric power has been turned ON.
10. The main disconnect switch on the dryer is ON.
11. There is wet grain in the wet holding bin.
12. Incoming grain moisture is known.
13. Dry grain take away equipment is in place.
14. Grain is going to the proper bin.
15. Switches other than fuel, electric power and main disconnect have been set to the OFF position.
16. The load mercury switch box is installed with the side stamped “UP”, in the up position.
Filling the Dryer
1. Turn the green CONTROL POWER knob to ON. It will light up and scroll through four (4) screens
and finish by displaying the time and date.
2. Turn the DRYING MODE switch to CONTINUOUS FLOW.
3. Push the RESET button on the computer keypad to activate the computer.
4. Make sure the UNLOAD switch is in the OFF position.
5. Push the DRYER POWER start switch; it will light up.
6. Turn the LOAD AUGER switch to the MANUAL position to fill the dryer. The load auger will start
and run until the dryer is full and then shut off automatically. (If the switch is set to the AUTO
position the dryer will shut down each time the Out of Grain timer times out and will have to
be restarted).
7. When the dryer has filled, turn the LOAD AUGER switch to the AUTO position.
Always disconnect and lock out power before working on or around dryer.

4. Start-Up Procedure
PNEG-523 Dryer Start-Up 11
Starting the Dryer
This is the start-up procedure for a cold start on wet grain and continuous flow operation.
1. Set the MAXON, or FAST ACTION HAND VALVE, on the incoming fuel line to the ON position.
2. Make sure the MOISTURE CONTROL switch is in the OFF position.
3. Turn the FAN switch (or switches if a multi-fan dryer) to the ON position. The light in the switch will
turn on when the fan reaches approximately half speed.
4. Adjust the AIR PRESSURE switch if necessary.
5. Turn the HEATER switch (or switches if a multi-fan dryer) to the ON position. The heater will purge
for approximately 10 seconds and then ignite. The light in the heater switch will come on during
ignition and will stay on if the heater ignites successfully. If the heater does not ignite, the light will
go OFF after the trial for ignition and the dryer will shut down. If this happens, check the gas supply
and all valves in the fuel line to make sure they are ON.
Adjusting the Temperature
1. Set the HIGH-LOW FIRE PLENUM THERMOSTAT on the left side of the dryer to the desired
drying temperature (180° to 200°). On multiple fan dryers set the heat chambers 30° to 60° apart:
hottest at the top and coolest at the bottom.
2. On LP gas models adjust the gas pressure using the PRESSURE REGULATOR, High Fire, on the
burner fuel line, so the burner will reach the thermostat setting and switch to Low Fire. Pressure up
to 25 lbs. may be required. Natural gas does not have a regulator but uses a LARGE BALL VALVE
close to the vertical supply line for adjustment. Pressure up to 18 lbs. may be required.
On LP gas models adjust the small RED HANDLED BALL VALVE, Low Fire, so the burner
maintains flame then switches back to High Fire. Natural gas has a BALL VALVE close to the
burner control box for Low Fire adjustment.
3. Adjust the burner pressure so that the burners cycle four (4) times per minute. Each cycle should
be approximately 10 seconds on High and approximately 5 seconds on Low. Four (4) of these
cycles should occur per minute. When on High Fire, increasing the pressure with the pressure
regulator DECREASES the time spent on High Fire. When on Low Fire, increasing the Low Fire
pressure with the RED BALL VALVE INCREASES the time spent on Low Fire.
4. On LP gas models adjust the vaporizor so the fuel pipes going to the burner from the regulator are
warm to the touch but are neither hot nor cold. The vaporizor can be adjusted two ways. First, by
loosening the bolt in the hinging mechanism and swinging it to a hotter or cooler position. Second,
by loosening the two bolts in the hinge pipe and sliding the vaporizor in or out to a cooler or hotter
position. Either one or both methods may need to be used to get the vaporizor to the proper
temperature. Natural gas does not use a vaporizor.

4. Start-Up Procedure
Full Heat Continuous Flow Operation
1. Refer to the DRYER START-UP section of the Operator’s Manual. (CONTINUOUS FLOW METER
ROLL SETTINGS - FULL HEAT on Page 13.) There are settings for Initial Moisture, Moisture
Removed, Approximate Dry Time, 1 Speed, 2 Speed Low and 2 Speed High. Select the line that
indicates the initial moisture. These are the settings referred to throughout this start-up procedure.
2. Make sure the UNLOAD switch is OFF.
3. Make sure the MOISTURE CONTROL switch is OFF.
4. If the dryer is stopped press the dryer start switch to lock in the control circuit.
5. Turn the fan and burner switches to the “ON” position to run fans and burners. Be sure to adjust the
plenum temperature to 180°F for all burners. Run the fans and burners for about 10% longer than
the approximate dry time (from chart on Page 13) for the incoming moisture. Example: 10 pt.
removal from the chart is 54 minutes, plus 5.4 minutes (10%) equals 59.4 minutes (round up to 60).
6. Increase the drying temperature to a maximum of 210°F (corn) for single fan dryers. For multiple
fan dryers adjust the top burner to a maximum of 230°F (corn) and stage the temperature of the
lower burners down 30° per burner. Example: 3 fan dryer Top burner: 230°, Middle burner: 200°,
Bottom burner: 170°.
7. After this initial fan and burner run time set the unload switch to “1 SPEED” and set the HIGH
SPEED meter roll potentiometer to the setting for 1 SPEED (from chart on Page 13). Meter rolls
should start and grain will begin to flow from discharge of dryer. Run time for this step should be
the same as for the fan and burner time from Step 5 above. IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO ADJUST
THE DRYER DURING THIS PERIOD. The grain discharging towards the end of this period will be
over dried, but it is necessary so that the corn moisture is staged properly and evenly in the dryer.
8. Turn the Moisture control switch to “ON”. Set the moisture control (grain) temperature to 100°F.
9. Turn the Unload switch to “2 SPEED”. Find the “2 SPEED HIGH” and “2 SPEED LOW” meter roll
settings on chart and set meter roll potentiometers accordingly. Allow the dryer to run for the time
established in step 5 and then sample the grain. If the dryer has been cycling regularly from high
to low and the grain is not coming out to moisture desired, then adjust the moisture control (grain)
temperature up or down 5° per point of moisture. Example: Moisture control is set to 100°, desired
moisture is 15%, sampled moisture is 17%. Adjust moisture control to 110°. EVERY TIME AN
ADJUSTMENTISMADEITISIMPERATIVETHATTHEDRYERIS ALLOWED TO RUNFORTHE
ESTABLISHED TIME IN ORDER FOR CHANGES TO TAKE AFFECT. Repeat this process as
necessary until desired moisture content is being discharged from dryer.
10. After the run time in Step 9, the moisture control and the meter roll speeds can be adjusted if
required. Each time an adjustment to the moisture control is made, it will take approximately the
time as shown in the example in Step 5 to see the results of this adjustment.

4. Start-Up Procedure
Dry and Cool Continuous Flow Operation for Dryers with Two or
More Fans
1. Refer to the DRYER START-UP section in the Operator’s Manual (CONTINUOUS FLOW METER
ROLL SETTINGS - DRY and COOL on Page 15.) There are settings for Initial Moisture, Moisture
Removed, Approximate Dry Time, 1 Speed, 2 Speed Low, and 2 Speed High. Select the line that
has your initial starting moisture. These are the settings we will be referring to during this
start-up procedure.
2. Make sure the UNLOAD switch is OFF.
3. Make sure the MOISTURE CONTROL switch is OFF.
4. If the dryer is stopped press the dryer start switch to lock in the control circuit.
5. Run the bottom fan(s) and heater(s), which will be used for cooling later, for approximately 20
minutes. This will start drying and cool the bottom before beginning to discharge grain.
6. Run the remaining fans and burners at equal intervals for approximately 10% longer than the dry
time (refer chart on Page 15) required for the target moisture. Example: 10 pt. removal from chart
is 60 minutes, plus 6.0 minutes (10%) equals 66.0 minutes.
7. After the bottom fan(s) and heater(s) have run the required drying time, turn the bottom heater(s)
off. Cool this section for about 20 minutes. Increase the drying temperature to a maximum of 210°F
(corn) for single fan dryers. For multiple fan dryers adjust the top burner to a maximum of 230°F
(corn) and stage the temperature of the lower burners down 30° per burner. Example: 3 fan dryer
Top burner: 230°, Middle burner: 200°, Bottom burner: 170°.
8. Turn the UNLOAD switch to 1 SPEED and set the METER ROLL SPEED (HIGH SPEED)
potentiometer to the setting for 1 SPEED operation. Run time for this is about 10% longer than
the APPROXIMATE DRYING TIME required for the target moisture, as shown in the example in
Step 6. This allows the dryer to reach an even gradient moisture from top to bottom, without having
any highs or lows. It will, however, over-dry some of the corn.
9. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE DRYER FOR MOISTURE DURING THIS PROCESS.
DOING SO WILL ESTABLISH HIGH AND LOW SWINGS IN THE MOISTURE CONTROL AND
WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO RESOLVE.
10. After the run time in Step 8 turn the MOISTURE CONTROL switch to the ON position. Set the
temperature to about 130°
11. Turnthe UNLOAD switch to 2SPEED. Set the METERING ROLL SPEED, LOW SPEED and HIGH
SPEED potentiometer to the settings listed in the chart on Page 15 for them. Let the dryer run on
these settings as shown in the example in Step 6 before trying to adjust moisture or meter roll
settings. These settings will not adjust moisture exactly as desired but will serve as a good starting
point for further adjustments. Slightly different moisture at the bottom of the storage bin is not
usually a problem if there is full floor aeration.
12. After the run time in Step 11, adjustments to the moisture control and the meter roll speeds can be
made if required. Each time an adjustment to the moisture control is made, it will take about the
time as shown in the example in Step 6 to see the results of this adjustment.

4. Start-Up Procedure
PNEG-523 Dryer Start-Up 15
1100 and 1200 Series Continuous Flow Metering Roll Settings -
Dry and Cool
Adjusting the Moisture Control
1. Each 5° on the MOISTURE CONTROL will change the output moisture by about 1%.
Example: 100° is set, and the result is 16% corn, but 17% is desired. Reduce the MOISTURE
CONTROL temperature by 5° to 95°. This should change the resulting corn to 17%. If drier corn is
desired, it is necessary to raise the temperature on the MOISTURE CONTROL.
2. There are four (4) sensors that are averaged together for detecting MOISTURE CONTROL
temperature: one on each side of the dryer in the front and one on each side of the dryer in the
back. These are located about 1/3 of the way up the grain column from the bottom and about four
(4) inches in from the side.
3. The small lights behind the temperatures on the MOISTURE CONTROL indicate the temperature
of the grain at the sample point.
4. The two (2) lights in the center are green, the lights to the right or to the left of these are red.
5. When the grain temperature is cycling the dryer between HIGH and LOW SPEED and the green
lights on the moisture control are illuminated, the moisture setting is being maintained correctly.

4. Start-Up Procedure
6. Set the METER ROLL SPEED in relation to the small red lights behind the temperatures on the
MOISTURE CONTROL.
7. RED lights to the left indicate that the grain at the sample point is too cool or wetter than desired.
To correct this, turn the (LOW SPEED) left potentiometer to a lower number. This will slow down
the meter rolls and dry the grain longer, warming it up.
8. RED lights to the right indicate that the grain at the sample point is too hot or dryer than desired.
To correct this, turn the (HIGH SPEED) right potentiometer to a higher number. This will speed up
the meter rolls and remove the grain quicker, cooling it down.
9. If the MOISTURE CONTROL switches to LOW and only stays on low for a minute or two and
switches back to HIGH, speed up the (LOW SPEED) left potentiometer. It is set too slow.
10. If the MOISTURE CONTROL switches to HIGH and only stays on low for a minute or two before it
switches back to LOW, slow down the (HIGH SPEED) right potentiometer. It is set too fast.
11. The MOISTURE CONTROL should stay on HIGH about 50% of the time and on LOW about 50%,
give or take 25%. There is a wide range of settings that will work. However, it should switch low to
high and back to maintain the desired moisture. A control that does not switch, will not maintain
evenly dried grain moisture when the incoming wet grain moisture varies.
12. When adjusting the meter roll speeds, do not change the speed more than 20 points at a time.
