Maintain Equipment and Work Area
• Understand service procedures before doing work. Keep area
clean and dry.
• Never service equipment while it is operating. Keep hands, feet,
and clothing away from moving parts
• Keep your equipment in proper working condition. Replace worn
or broken parts immediately.
ST-0003-1
Operate Motor Properly
• All electrical connections must be made in accordance with
applicable local codes (National Electrical Code for the US,
Canadian Electric Code, or EN60204 along with applicable
European Directives for Europe). Make sure equipment and
bins are properly grounded.
• Lock-out power before resetting motor overloads.
• Do not repetitively stop and start the drive in order to free a plugged
condition. Jogging the drive in this manner can damage the
equipment and drive components.
Rotating Auger Hazard
• Keep clear of rotating augers and moving parts.
• Do not remove or modify guards or covers.
• Lock-out power source before making adjustments,
cleaning, or maintaining equipment.
• Failure to follow these precautions will result in
serious injury or death.
ST-0037-1
Stay Clear of Hoisted Equipment
• Always use proper lifting or hoisting equipment when assembling
or disassembling equipment.
• Do not walk or stand under hoisted equipment.
• Always use sturdy and stable supports when needed for
installation. Not following these safety precautions creates the
risk of falling equipment, which could crush personnel and cause
serious injury or death.

Stay Clear of Rotating Parts
• Do not enter the bin while the equipment is
in operation.
• Entanglement in rotating augers will cause serious
injury or death.
• Keep all shields and covers in place at all times.
• Lock-out power source before making
adjustments, cleaning, or maintaining
equipment.
ST-0008-2
Use Unload Equipment Properly
• Do not operate this equipment alone. Make sure someone
nearby is aware of the proper shut down sequence in the event of
an emergency.
• Do not allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of
drugs to operate this equipment. All operators must be adequately
rested and prepared to perform all functions of operating
the equipment.
• Do not start equipment until all persons are clear of the work area
and safety guards are in place.
• Do not allow anyone inside a bin, truck, or wagon which is being
unloaded by an auger. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in
seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Always use caution to not hit the auger when positioning the load.
• Do not leave equipment operating while unattended.
• Be aware of pinch points, which can trap or catch objects and
cause injury.
• Be sure all equipment is locked in position before operating.
• Always lock out all power sources to the equipment when
unloading is finished.

(See Figure 4A.)
Figure 4A Pivot to Drive Assembly
2. Remove the two (2) 3/4" x 1-1/4" grade 8 hex bolts and nuts that attach the belt guard mounting
strap to the motor mount frame assembly. These nuts will be reused in the Step 3 on Page 15.
(See Figure 4B.)

strap through the belt guard mounting strap and the front hole of the motor mount frame assembly.
Place the back bottom motor strap thought the back hole of the motor mount frame assembly. Retain
the straps by threading one 3/4" hex nut onto each post. DO NOT TIGHTEN the nuts at this time.
They will need adjustment when the motor is installed. (See Figure 4C.)
Figure 4C Attach Bottom Motor Mount Strap
4. Place the motor rods into the indentationson the bottom motorstraps. Secure themotor rods in place
by bolting the top motor straps to the bottom motor straps using eight (8) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex
bolts, sixteen (16) flat washers and eight (8) nylock nuts. DO NOT TIGHTEN the nuts at this time.
They will need adjustment when the motor is installed. (See Figure 4D.)

5. When installing the bin sweep in the bin, put two (2) 1" flat washers onto the post of the pivot yoke.
Place the drive assembly onto the center well pivot tube. (See Figure 4E.)
Figure 4E Drive Assembly to Center Pivot
6. Attach the discharge flight to the connecting shaft on the drive assembly using two (2) 1/2" x 3-1/2"
grade8 hex bolts andstovernuts. The discharge flight is distinguished by the absenceof flightribbon
at one end. This end gets attached to the drive assembly. (See Figure 4F.)

7. Attach the discharge back shield to the drive assembly using two (2) 3/8" x 1-1/2" grade 8 hex bolts,
four (4) flat washers and two (2) nylock nuts. The discharge back shield does not have the full
continuous high back shield. It is cut away at the discharge to allow more grain flow around the drive
assembly. This cut back end gets attached to the drive assembly. (See Figure 4G.)
Figure 4G Discharge Shield to Drive
NOTE: Bin sweeps containing more than two (2) sections of flight and back shield can have multiple
configurations. These configurations determine where the flight and back shield joints exist in
relation to the center of the bin.
Consider all configurations for the bin diameter before continuing. On bin sweeps with
three (3) or more sections of flight and back shield, a carrier wheel assembly is used every
two (2) sections.
Choose the configuration for the bin diameter to ensure that the(se) carrier wheel assembly(s)
do not interfere with the existing well positions.
Damage to the bin sweep and unload well or well grate could result from an incorrect
configuration of flight and back shield sections.

as possible, the angle between both faces being greater than 90° and less than 180° and
without overlapping.
NOTE: Overlapping the flights or having an angle between the ribbon faces be less than 90° or
greater than 180°, will result in reduced unload capacity.
13. Attach the next flight to the connecting shaft using two (2) 5/8" x 4" grade 8 hex bolts and
stover nuts. (See Figure 4L.)
