Operate Unload Equipment Properly
• Untrained operators subject themselves and others to SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH. NEVER allow untrained personnel to operate this equipment.
• NEVER work alone.
• Keep children and other unqualified personnel out of the working
area at ALL times. Refer to the Start-Up section of this manual for
diagrams of the work area.
• Make sure ALL equipment is locked in position before operating.
• NEVER start equipment until ALL persons are clear of the work area.
• Keep hands and feet away from the auger intake and other moving parts.
• NEVER attempt to assist machinery operation or to remove trash from equipment while
in operation.
• Be sure all operators are adequately rested and prepared to perform all functions of operating
this equipment.
• NEVER allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs to operate
the equipment.
• Make sure someone is nearby who is aware of the proper shut down sequence in the event of an
accident or emergency.
• ALWAYS think before acting. NEVER act impulsively around the equipment.
• NEVER allow anyone inside a bin, truck or wagon which is being unloaded by an auger or
conveyor. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Keep area around intake free of obstacles such as electrical cords, blocks, etc., that might
trip workers.
• NEVER drive, stand or walk under the equipment.
• Use caution not to hit the auger when positioning the load.
• ALWAYS lock out ALL power to the equipment when finished unloading a bin.
• Be aware of pinch points. A pinch point is a narrow area between two surfaces that is likely to trap
or catch objects and so is a potential safety hazard.

3. Product Overview
Sweep Criteria Recommendations
Congratulations! Your selection of the GSI “X” Series Sweep is a wise investment. It will give you years of
dependable service. The main function of the “X” Series Sweep is to clean out the remaining grain, from
the bin, after all gravity unloading has finished. The GSI “X” Series Sweep is a single pass sweep only.
The unit will only operate in a round grain bin equipped with a center sump in the bin floor.
NOTE: The bin manufacturer should be contacted for their recommendations on the bin’s structural
integrity. The following are sweep criteria recommendations.
Issues Recommendations
Flooring
A track is required under each of the sweep wheels where they travel over the
aeration (steel) floor. The track should be a minimum of 10 gauge thick and made
from steel. The steel can be galvanized for the wheel paths. A Table on Page 17 is
included that shows radius dimensions locating the points of contact between the
sweep and the bin floor. The dimensions may be used to figure the material
quantities of track to support the sweep across the aeration flooring. The track
material is not supplied with the sweep and must be supplied by the installer.
The dimensions are approximate and the assembled sweep should be checked for
exact points of contact.
Center Sump Size
When installing a 12" or 16" sweep, the minimum recommended opening is 42" x 42".
The sump hopper supplied by GSI was designed with sufficient clearance around the
collector ring housing to allow grain to gravity flow through the hopper and be carried
away by the material handling equipment below. 42-3/4" is the maximum opening size
to allow rolling clearance for the casters assembled to the head end jack. If made
smaller, grain flow may be decreased to an unacceptable level.
Flow of grain is limited when using this sump and collector ring housing assembly.
The collector ring housing extends 23-1/2" down from the floor surface and is
approximately 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" in size.
Number of Intermediate Sumps
Intermediate sumps must be installed on a maximum of 10' centers where the sweep
will be parked during storage. The first intermediate sump should be placed at a
maximum of 10' from the center sumps and the end sump should be no more than 4'
from the bin wall.
The extra sumps will help clean out the grain in front of the sweep, reducing the
start-up load. Doing this will save labor dollars and hours of work to dig out the sweep
and will help the sweep during start-up. The sweep is not designed to start-up when
submerged in material. The sweep should be parked behind the intermediate sumps
with sumps on the auger side of the sweep.
Routing the Power Supply to
the Sweep
The only option is to use the hopper sump with collector ring. This allows the power
to be transferred through a mechanical device in the center sump and does not twist
any cords.
Floor Level Tolerance
The top edge of the sump hopper and the top edge of the “X” brace support must be
level with the floor. The floor must be level within 3/4" plus (or) minus, preferably less.
Any high or low points must be gradually sloped. The change in elevation should be
no more than 3/4" over 60".
Bin Roundness Tolerance
Diameter tolerances are limited by foundation limits and sweep operation as well as
structural issues. For 72' diameter and larger, the overall tolerance would be plus or
minus 1-1/4" on the radius, plus or minus 1" on 42'-66' diameter bins and plus or
minus 3/4" on 30'-39' bins.

3. Product Overview
PNEG-1858 12" and 16" “X” Series Sweep 15
Bin Opening Size
Required for Installation
The head section is the largest piece of a standard “X” Series Sweep. The
dimensions for a 16" head section are 23-1/2" x 55-1/4". If the bin wall is not too thick,
this unit should fit through a 23-1/2" x 47" opening. The dimensions for a 12" head
section are 21-1/4" x 51-1/2". Again, if the bin wall is not too thick, the section should
fit through an opening 21-1/2 x 45".
Voltage Specification
The “X” Series Sweep is designed to operate using 460 Volt 3 Phase 60 Hz,
380V 50 Hz or 600V 60 Hz. The voltage must be within plus or minus 4% for
proper operation.
Voltages outside of this range may cause excessive power draw or other operating
problems. Please contact the factory for applications outside of these parameters.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The motor
disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National Electric
Code and any local codes which may apply.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. This is integrated into the control panel for the “X” Series Sweeps.
Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment, entering the bin
or resetting the motor overloads.
The control panel MUST be mounted OUTSIDE the bin near the door. It must be
located so the operator has a full view of the equipment and can see that all
personnel are clear. It must NEVER be installed inside the bin. Motor thermal
protection leads must also be wired into or plugged into the control panel before the
sweep will operate.

WARNING
Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The
motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National
Electrical Code and any local codes.

PNEG-1858 12" and 16" “X” Series Sweep 19
NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain
(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity.
NOTE: Sweep carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel. Carrier wheel track
is not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or flooring provider for possible sources
and details.
2. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
“X” Series Sweep auger inside the bin.
3. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.
4. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.
5. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.
6. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.
7. Make sure electric motors are grounded.
WARNING
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. It should be locked in the OFF position whenever work is being
done on the “X” Series Sweep.

20 PNEG-1858 12" and 16" “X” Series Sweep
Torque values to be used when tightening the bolts on the “X” Series Sweep
It takes more force to tighten a 3/4''-10 bolt than to tighten a 1/2''-13 bolt because of its larger diameter.
Italso takesmoreforce totightena grade8 boltthan itdoesto tightenagrade5bolt because ofthe greater
material strength. A bolt that is waxed or otherwise lubricated requires much less force to tighten. If the
same amount of force is used with a lubricated bolt as with a non-lubricated bolt, the lubricated bolt often
will break.
