INTRODUCTION
COMPLETELY READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE BLUE
FLAME II CROP DRYER (FAN AND HEATER), CSA Version.
This manual is intended for use with the Shivvers 15 or 20 Hp Blue Flame II Crop Dryer
which is CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certified. The Crop Dryer consists of a
Blue Flame II heater connected to a Shivvers 15 or 20 Hp Centrifugal Fan. The heater
may not be used with any other manufacturer’s centrifugal fan. The complete crop
dryer is shipped in three or four separate pieces which must be installed and wired
together at the installation site.

For best results and ease of installation and service, the Shivvers 565D-001A Transition
and 74C-001A or 74D-001A Entrance Collars are recommended.
The Blue Flame II heaters provide from approx. 0.75 million to 3.6 million BTU/Hr of
heat utilizing Liquid Propane or Natural Gas fuel. This heater would not normally be
considered a low temperature rise heater for applications such as drying rice. The LP
Heater is equipped with a built in vaporizer. The pipe train is configured in a hi-low-off
configuration for a wide temperature operating range. A 3-wire thermostat system is
included to control the heater.
This series of Blue Flame II heaters are similar to the centrifugal heaters manufactured
by Shivvers in the past. These dryers use a flame sensing system called flame
rectification. There are no moving parts in the flame rod. It just has to be in the flame
but not touching the burner element or housing. The flame sense module will apply an
AC current to the flame rod. If a flame is present, the flame will rectify or change it to a
DC current. If the flame sense module detects this DC current, it will turn off the ignition
transformer and the burner will continue to burn. If the DC current is not detected, the
flame sense module will lockout the burner, and the heater power switch will have to be
shut off for a few seconds, then turned back on and re-started, to reset the module.
The Blue Flame II Crop Dryers, CSA versions, were first introduced in the fall of 2015.
Additional models were added in 2019.
The equipment shall be installed in accordance with the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1 and the Propane Storage and Handling Code, CSA
B149.2, or applicable Provincial Regulations, which should be carefully followed in all
cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.

SAFETY INFORMATION
The operator of this machinery must assume the responsibility for his own safety, and
that of those who are working with him. He must also make sure the equipment was
installed properly. Factors that contribute to the overall safety of operation are: proper
use, maintenance, and frequent inspection of the equipment. All of these are the
operator's responsibility.
If any items covered in this manual are not completely understood, or there is a concern
with the safety of the product, contact SHIVVERS Manufacturing Incorporated at the
address shown on the front cover.
SHIVVERS is genuinely interested in providing the safest practical equipment to our
customers. If you have a suggestion which you believe will enhance the safety of this
product, please write us and let us know.
The safety alert symbol will be accompanied by one of three signal words whose
definitions are given as:
DANGER: Red and white. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components
that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING: Orange and black. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that
are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Yellow and black. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
TAKE NOTE ANYTIME THIS SAFETY ALERT
SYMBOL APPEARS.
YOUR SAFETY, AND THAT OF PERSONS AROUND
YOU IS AT STAKE.

Be sure to observe these common sense rules when working with the dryer equipment:
1). All units must be equipped with a main power disconnect switch. This disconnect
switch must shut power off to the complete drying system. It must have the
capability of being locked into the OFF or OUT position. Disconnect and LOCK
OUT this main power disconnect switch before conducting any inspection,
maintenance, repair, adjustment, or cleaning of the drying system. When you
must have the electrical power on to troubleshoot equipment, do it from a safe
distance, and always from outside the bin.
2). Keep the bin entrances locked at all times. To unlock the bin, first lower the
Level-Dry (if so equipped), then shut the main power disconnect off. Take the
safety lock off the bin entrance and place it on the main power disconnect before
opening the bin entrance. Never enter the drying bin unless the Level-Dry (if
so equipped), is completely lowered, and all power is disconnected and
locked out.
3). Always keep all shields and guards in place. If shields or guards must be
removed for inspection or maintenance, replace them before unlocking and
turning the power back on.
4). Be sure everyone is clear of all the drying and transferring equipment, and
outside of all bins, before unlocking and turning the power on. Some equipment
may run upon re-application of power.
5). Make sure that all decals are in place and are easy to read. Do not operate the
equipment with missing or illegible decals. If replacements are needed, contact
SHIVVERS Manufacturing Incorporated or your dealer.
6). Prior to use, inspect all equipment to insure that it is in good operating condition.
Do not operate with missing, damaged, or worn parts. Use only SHIVVERS
approved replacement parts.
7). Metal edges can be sharp. Wear protective clothing and handle equipment and
parts with care.
8). Keep children and bystanders away from drying and transferring equipment at all
times.
9). If going up the bin ladder and/or performing maintenance on the top of the bin,
take precautions to prevent accidental falls. When on top of the bin, wear a
safety harness or other safety device.
10). At least annually, review all operating and safety manuals with any personnel
working with this equipment. Always train new employees before they operate
the drying equipment. Insist that they read and understand the operating and
safety manuals.
