1.1. EQUIPMENT PURPOSE
69000-00-0042 R3
1.1. Equipment Purpose
1.1.1. General Description
The GrainVac VR12 is a high capacity air fan that creates a vacuum for picking up and
moving grain. The GrainVac VR12 is designed and manufactured to move grain from
grain storage facilities into grain transport vehicles.
1.2. Intended Use
This equipment is designed solely for use in customary agricultural or similar operations.
Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with
and strict adherence to the conditions of operation and maintenance as specified by the
manufacturer, also constitute essential elements of the intended use.
This equipment should be operated, maintained, serviced, and repaired only by persons
who are familiar with its particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the
relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations and all other generally recognized regulations on safety
and occupational medicine must be observed at all times.
Any modifications carried out to this equipment may relieve the manufacturer of liability
for any resulting damage or injury.
1.2.1. Misuse
Running material such as sand, dirt, fertilizer, water, rocks, etc. is considered misuse,
will cause severe damage to the GrainVac, and will void the warranty.

1. INTRODUCTION REM - GRAINVAC VR12
1.3. COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
89000-00-0042 R3
1.3.1. Functional Overview
The GrainVac is a simple and reliable system. It uses a vacuum to produce a flow of air
that conveys grain or material to the body of the machine. The flow of grain is directed
into an auger that conveys it to the transport vehicle. The heart of the system is the
rotor(s) (also known as blower(s) or fan(s)). The rotor(s) (A) remove air from the body
and places the entire system under vacuum. This vacuum causes air and grain to enter
through the intake (D) and flow through the hose (C), into the body (E) of the machine.
When the stream of air and grain reaches the body (E) of the GrainVac, it is separated
by the drum (B).
The stream of material is directed into the auger flighting, moved up the auger tube (F)
and discharged out the end dump double doors (G). The stream of air is cleaned of large
particles by the rotating drum and the air continues on through the drum into the rotor(s)
(A). The rotor(s) force the air out of the body into the exhaust (I) and out the air outlet
(H).

12 9000-00-0042 R3
2.5. Drives and Lockout Safety
Inspect the power source(s) before using and know how to shut down in an emergency.
Whenever you service or adjust your equipment, make sure you shut down and lock out
your power source to prevent inadvertent start-up and hazardous energy release. Know
the procedure(s) that applies to your equipment from the following power sources.
2.5.1. PTO Driveline Safety
Drive
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO
(power take-off) driveline.
• Make certain the driveline shields telescope and rotate
freely on driveline before attaching.
• Make certain the driveline is securely
attached at both ends.
• Do not operate equipment unless all
driveline, tractor, and equipment shields
are in place and in good working order.
• Do not exceed operating speed of 
1000 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do
not exceed maximum recommended length for PTO driveline.
• Engage tractor park brake and/or chock wheels.
Lockout
• Position all controls in neutral, shut off tractor’s engine, and remove key from tractor.
• If removing key is impossible, remove PTO driveline from tractor.
2.5.2. Hydraulic Power Safety
Power Source
• Refer to the rules and regulations applicable to the
power source operating your hydraulic drive.
• Do not connect or disconnect hydraulic lines while sys-
tem is under pressure.
• Keep all hydraulic lines away from moving parts.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure will cause serious injury if it penetrates the
skin surface (serious infection or toxic reaction can develop). See a doctor immedi-
ately if injured.
• Use metal or wood as a backstop when searching for hydraulic leaks and wear
proper hand and eye protection.

2.6. ROTATING PARTS SAFETY
9000-00-0042 R3 13
• Check all hydraulic components are tight and in good condition. Replace any worn,
cut, abraded, flattened, or crimped hoses.
• Clean the connections before connecting to equipment.
• Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic fittings or hoses with tape,
clamps, or adhesive. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure;
such repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous and unsafe condition.
Lockout
• Always place all hydraulic controls in neutral and relieve system pressure before dis-
connecting or working on hydraulic system.
2.6. Rotating Parts Safety
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from
rotating pulleys, belts, chains, and sprock-
ets.
• Do not operate with any guard removed or
modified. Keep guards in good working
order.
• Shut off and remove key or lock out power source before inspecting or servicing
machine.
2.7. Rotating Flighting Safety
• KEEP AWAY from rotating flighting.
• DO NOT remove or modify flighting guards, doors, or
covers. Keep in good working order. Have replaced if
damaged.
• DO NOT operate the equipment without all guards,
doors, and covers in place.
• NEVER touch the flighting. Use a stick or other tool to remove an obstruction or
clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
2.8. Tire Safety
• Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a
tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion that
may result in serious injury or death.
• DO NOT attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform
required tire maintenance.

2. SAFETY REM - GRAINVAC VR12
2.9. SAFETY DECALS
14 9000-00-0042 R3
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original tire specifications.
Never undersize the replacement tire.
• DO NOT weld to the tire rim with the tire mounted on the rim. This action may cause
an explosion which could result in serious injury or death.
• Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
• Tires should not be operated at speeds higher than their rated
speed.
• Keep wheel lug nuts tightened to manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Never reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under-inflated
without removing the tire from the wheel. Have the tire and wheel closely inspected
for damage before remounting.
2.9. Safety Decals
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have become illegible. See decal location
figures that follow.
• Replaced parts must display the same decal(s) as the original part.
• Replacement safety decals are available free of charge from your distributor,
dealer, or factory.
2.9.1. Decal Installation/Replacement
1. Decal area must be clean and dry, with a temperature above 50°F (10°C).
2. Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
3. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully press the small portion with the
exposed sticky backing in place.
4. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of
the decal in place.
5. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the sign backing
paper.
2.9.2. Safety Decal Locations and Details
Replicas of the safety decals that are attached to the equipment and their messages are
shown in the figure(s) that follow. Safe operation of the equipment requires that you
familiarize yourself with the various safety decals and the areas or particular functions
that the decals apply to, as well as the safety precautions that must be taken to avoid
serious injury, death, or damage.
REM reserves the right to update safety decals without notice. Safety decals may not be

DANGER
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
• Follow safety precautions in equipment operator’s manual, and
know the recommended emergency procedure.
• Station an observer nearby who can communicate with both
the person in the bin and another individual to shut down
operating equipment in an emergency. To avoid anyone else
from becoming entrapped in the grain, the bin should not be
entered until it is safe.
• Grain vacuum operators should be very cautious when working
with grain that will not flow, sticks together or has spoiled.
• Grain vacuum operators should move the vacuum intake
frequently to avoid formation of a cone depression, keeping the
grain surface level working from the outside wall and moving
inward, thereby reducing the risk of engulfment.
