ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Turn thethreespreaderdiverters
outward(Figure2).The diverters
onthebladeassemblyareturned
inward for shipping purposes.
Further adjustments may be re-
quired after installation.
7. Use two 5/16"-18 x 1.1/4" bolts,
four5/16"flatwashers,two 5/16"
lockwashers, and two 5/16"-18
nuts to fasten each of the three
hanger brackets inside the
spreader cone (Figure 3). The
five mounting slots provided in
thehangerbrackets areusedfor
adjusting the spreader up and
down inside the bin. Location is
dependent on several factors
suchasinterferencewith stirring
systems and grain bouncing off
spreader motor onto bin roof.
8. Measure binopening(hatchcol-
lar) toselectcorrectslotsforbolt-
ing hanger extensions to hanger
brackets. All GSI bins with stan-
dard peak roof cap have a hatch
collar diameter 31.1/2". Loosely
mount each hanger extension to
a hanger bracket, using the ap-
propriate slots with two 5/16"-18
x 1.1/4" bolts, two 5/16" lock-
washers, four 5/16" flatwashers,
andtwo5/16"-18nuts(Figure 3).
9. Add 3/8" eyebolt to the top of
motor.
10. Compare assembled unit with
parts assembly drawing (page

are properly installed.

INSTALLATION
The units are shipped with the mo-
tor wires disconnected. Carefully
connect motor wires for desired op-
erating voltage as indicated on the
wiring diagram on page 13. Model
SPD-2073 will be wired for 230V.
The other models will not. Be cer-
tain to use electrical connectors of
adequatesize.Thetablebelowpro-
vides wire size information.
The1HP motorisprotectedwith
aninternalautomaticreset overload.
However, it is advisable to provide
additionalprotectionwithfuseorcir-
cuitbreaker.
The motor should turn the
spreaderbladecounterclockwiseas
viewed from above the unit. If the
three phase unit turns clockwise,
the rotationcanbechanged.
This may be done by interchanging
anytwoofthethreepowerwirecon-
nections. The rotation cannot be re-
versed on single phase unit.

INSTALLATION
1. Adjust hanger extensions to fit
roof opening and install the
power spread unit.
2. Use the 9/32" hole at the end of
each hanger extension and bolt
hanger extensions to hatch
collar.
3. Then tighten all bolts holding
hanger extensions.
4. Once unit is installed, use a
carpenter's level across the top
of the spreader cone to make
sure it is level in all directions
(Figure 5).
5. Ifrequired, add spacer washers
between hanger brackets and
hanger extensions to level unit
(Figure 6).

Beforeconnectingandapplying
power, rotate the spreader blade by
hand to be certain it rotates freely

as viewed from above the unit. The
superspreadunitrequires115
or 230 volt 1 PH or 230 or 460 volt
3 phase power supply. The mini-
mum wire size is 14 gauge for runs
up to 200 feet. It is advisable to pro-
vide additional protection such as
15 amp slow blow fuses or 20 amp
circuit breaker. Consult a licensed
electrician for wire size on longer
runs. Regardless of grain type and
bin size, the grain flow must be di-
rectly down (vertical) and centered
(horizontal)withinthespreader cone
(Figure 7). This has to be done to
prevent high and low grain surface
areas from one side of the bin to the
other.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The grain spreader blade assembly
has four features for adjusting grain
flow pattern.

tire spreader blade, which con-

the blade up and down. This
mayvaryaccordingtobindiam-
eter and fill rate (Figure 8).
2. Spreader diverters are used to
increase or decrease grain flow
resistanceoverspreaderblade.
With the diverters straight (Fig-
ure 9) the grain will travel fur-
ther. Angled grain diverters will
reduce the throwing distance.
3. Blade extension is used when
extra throwing distance is re-
quired for larger bins.
4. Dampers are used to control
center filling.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE
For normal operation, annually
relubricatebothmotorbearingswith
approximately ten drops of 5W-30
oil. The gears of the gear box as-
sembly are lubricated with a special
high temperature, food grade lubri-
cant (SPD-2109) at the time of
manufacturing. The level of grease
in the gear box should be checked
annually and will normally not re-
quire further lubrication unless seal
breakage occurs. After the grease
hassettled to the bottom of the gear
box, the grease level can be
checked. The grease level should

check for blown fuse or flipped cir-
cuit breaker.
If motor stops operating for no
apparentreason,wait approximately
five minutes for the automatic over-
load protection device to reset and
reattemptoperation.Ifproblemcon-
tinues, check power supply for volt-
ageandcheck blade of unit for free-
dom of rotation.
Ifmotorpinionrequiresremoval

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Probable Cause
Tilt blade downward, decrease bite.
Remove blade extension.
Flatten blade, increase bite, decrease
grain flow to spreader. Add blade
extension.
Level spreader, correct grain flow to
spreader, (never allow grain to flow
into spreader at an angle or off
center).
Trouble
Large doughnut shaped ring
caused by grain hitting high on bin
wall.
Grain is high in center of bin, small
doughnut.
Grain is high on one side of bin.
Spreader blade too flat.
Spreader blade too steep.
Not level, not centered.
CORRECT SPREADING PATTERN
Grain is slightly depressed in the center, grain flow is centered and the spreader is level.
