1. Introduction
Dryer Operation
Thank you for choosing a GSI Vision X-Stream Series Grain Dryer. These units are among the finest
grain dryers ever built; designed to give you excellent operating performance and reliable service for
many years.
This manual describes the installation and operation for all standard production model dryers. These
dryers are available with liquid propane or natural gas fuel supply, single phase 230 volt, three phase
230 or 460 volt (60 Hz) electrical power.
Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with this equipment. We want to
keep you as a customer. This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some
problems which may be encountered by the operator and other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, it is your responsibility to know what requirements, hazards and precautions
exist, and to inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area. Safety precautions may be
required from the personnel. Avoid any alterations to the equipment. Such alterations may produce a very
dangerous situation where SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH may occur.
This equipment shall be installed in accordance with the current installation codes and applicable
regulations which should be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installations are made.
Operating Precautions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1.Read and understand the operation manual before attempting to operate the unit.
2. Keep ALL guards, safety decals and safety devices in place. NEVER operate dryer while guards
are removed.
3. Keep visitors, children and untrained personnel away from dryer at all times.
4. NEVER attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing any safety devices on
the unit.
5. Always set the main power supply disconnect switch to OFF and lock it in the OFF position using
a padlock before performing any service or maintenance work on the dryer or the auxiliary
conveyor equipment.
6. Before attempting to remove and reinstall the fan blade, make certain to read recommended
procedure listed within the SERVICING section on Page 67 of the manual.
7. Keep the dryer and wet holding equipment CLEAN. DO NOT allow fine material to accumulate.
8. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to a burner during ignition and when
burner is in operation. See Page 30 for operating gas pressures. DO NOT exceed maximum
recommended drying temperatures.
9. DO NOT operate the dryer if any gas leak is detected. Shut down and repair before further operation.
10. Clean grain is safer and easier to dry. Fine material can be highly combustible and it also requires
removal of extra moisture.
11. Use CAUTION in working around high-speed fans, gas burners, augers and auxiliary conveyors
which can START AUTOMATICALLY.

1. Introduction
6 PNEG-1622 2 and 3 Module Vision X-Stream Dryers
Operating Precautions (Continued)
12. Be certain that capacities of auxiliary conveyors are matched to dryer auger capacities.
13. Do not operate in an area where combustible material will be drawn into the fan.
14. The operating and safety recommendations in this manual pertain to the common cereal grains as
indicated. Whendrying any other grainor products, consult the factory for additional recommendations.
15. Routinely check for any developing gas plumbing leaks. Check LP vaporizer for contact with
burner vanes.
Use Caution in the Operation of this Equipment
This dryer is designed and manufactured with operator safety in mind. However, the very nature
of a grain dryer having a gas burner, high voltage electrical equipment and high speed rotating parts,
presents hazards to personnel which cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with
the efficient operation of the dryer and reasonable access to its components.
Use extreme caution in working around high speed fans, gas-fired heaters, augers and auxiliary
conveyors, which may start without warning when the dryer is operating on automatic control.
Continued safe, dependable operation of automatic equipment depends, to a great degree, upon the
owner. For a safe and dependable drying system, follow the recommendations within the Owner’s Manual
and make it a practice to regularly inspect the unit for any developing problems or unsafe conditions.
Take special note of the Operating Precautions on Page 5 before attempting to operate the dryer.
CAUTION
Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum
chamber or surrounding the outside of the dryer.
