3Specifications
(Specifications are subject to change without notice and without liability)
3.1 Features
•Farm Series
•Theoretical Capacity: Up to 5,000 BPH. Note: These values can fluctuate greatly depending on
the varying conditions present, including but not limited to; moisture content, grain commodity
type and flowability, amount of foreign matter present, and compaction rate. These all play a
part in the performance of the paddle sweep. Paddle sweep capacity may also vary as the angle
of the sloping grain varies. For optimal performance, dry flowable grain is recommended. The
paddle sweep is not intended for use in high moisture grain storage applications or suitable for
non-grain commodities including fertilizer, lime, etc. Also, grain that may have gone out of
condition due to moisture or insect activity and has become hard or caked will result in
diminished capacity.
•Drive tire size: 5” x 8” -15” height segmented wheel
•Drive wheel powered by a gearbox off the paddle chain.
•Designed to be fully submersed in grain
•Housing is made from 12 ga. Steel
•Moves grain gently and evenly to sump
•Adjustable chain mount
•Flexible pivot joint allows sweep to move independently from gearbox to allow for variations in
the bin floor
•Adjustable stabilizer arms to accommodate variations in bin size and out of roundness
•Rubber drag to clean the floor for less sweeping

4.1 Prior to Installation
•Extra floor supports or structure will be required to support the sweep during burial if a full aeration
floor is used. These supports or structure will need to be placed directly underneath the zero entry
pads/jacks/caster wheels to support the sweep in the burial condition. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the paddle sweep, sweep accessories, and aeration floor.
•When locating the sump locations in the bin foundation it is critical to consider where the wheel
paths are going to be located. Below is a chart and illustration of these paths to match to your
sweep model.
•If the sweep wheel path does interfere with a sump location the sump will need to be grated or
covered to allow the wheel to cross without falling into the sump.

4.2 Installation
•It is recommended that the bin be empty and free of grain when the sweep is installed. If this can’t
be achieved, then a large enough area must be cleared that the sweep can be installed on a clean
floor and free from entrapment danger.
•We recommend the use of steel track pathways on any portion of aeration floor that the steel
wheels on any of the sweeps and the drive wheel on the farm sweeps contact. Failure to do so will
result in damage to the paddle sweep, sweep accessories, and aeration floor.
•It is recommended that at least three people install a sweep as the parts can be large and difficult to
handle.
•A tripod kit is available to assist in lifting components and moving them across the bin floor. The
tripod can be collapsed to fit through any size door.
•Since the power for the Daay Power Sweep is thru the gearbox, lock out tag out procedures should
be followed.
•Tools Needed
•Cordless Driver
•Ratchet
•1/2” & 9/16” shallow socket
•1/2” & 9/16” deep socket
•(1) 5/8” wrench
•(1) 3/4” wrench
•(1) 15/16” wrench (for tightening paddle chain)
•(2) Alignment punches
•(1) Center punch
•Battery powered/Explosion proof light

4.3 Head Section Assembly
•Overview –The installation of the head section will determine the final location of the
sweep. So, planning the pin location is critical to avoid having to move the entire sweep.
Head Section –
1.Reference the following parts of this
manual. See Table of Contents for specific page
numbers.
Pivot End Assembly Diagram for an overall
detailed view.
Pivot End Assembly Parts List for the proper
fasteners.
2. Locate the appropriate hardware to assemble
the Pivot end from the hardware bag that came
with the sweep.
3. Install the Pivot Stabilizer Bushing (K688936)
and the Stabilizer Lock Arm (K688914) on both
sides of the Pivot End Assembly (K704800).
Tighten the nuts using an 1 1/8” wrench, refer
to the torque spec sheet on page (33)
Make sure the lock arms rotate with minimal
resistance. If the arms are difficult to rotate,
disassemble the arm and check the hole on the
arm for potential burs or paint build up. Use a
round file or abrasive cloth to remove bur or
build up. Reassemble and re-check the
resistance. Repeat the process if necessary.

13
4. Install the pivot front caster wheel assembly
(K704838) and pivot rear caster wheel assembly
(K689824) to the pivot end assembly.
· Ensure that the carriage bolts are all facing
outward to avoid damage to the paddle as it
travels through the head section housing.
5. Install the stabilizer weldment (K688970) to
the stabilizer lock arms with (4) 1/2” x 1.50”
long carriage bolts and (4) center lock flange
nuts.
· The proper holes to use is not important
currently. The length will be adjusted when the
Daay Power Sweep is completely assembled.
· Hand tighten nuts only.
6. Ensure all fasteners are tightened properly
and parts that need to move freely can.
7. Mount the pivot bracket onto the stabilizer
bar using the included pivot pin and (2) lynch
pins.
Then use the provided hardware to mount the
pivot bracket onto the gearbox in your grain bin.
Note: The rest of the pivot kit varies greatly
between gearbox brands, refer to the manual
included in your pivot kit to get power from the
gearbox to the head section shaft.

14
4.4 Intermediate Sections and Paddle Chain Installation
•Overview –Locate the parts diagram for your sweep model in the back of this manual to
determine the order of intermediate section and their locations. Setting the sections on the
ground in the order of installation can aid in the assembly process. Note: do not install the zero
entry pads until noted to do so in this manual.
1. Lay the paddle chain on the floor
from the head section out to the bin
wall.
2. The chain should be orientated
such that the chain tabs are on the
bin wall side of the rubber paddles.

15
3. Feed the chain through the
bottom of the head section.
Then over the sprocket and out the
top.
NOTE: It is recommended that after
starting chain over the top to attach
a wire/rope to the chain to pull
through the intermediate sections.
4. Begin installing the intermediate
sections as shown in the parts list
and diagrams section of the manual
according to your sweep model.
NOTE: Bolts shown facing inward on
the peak of the section. These bolts
can be installed facing outward or
inward, whatever is easier.
NOTE: The side bolts on the housing
MUST face out, or they will contact
paddles during operation.
5. All sweep section bolts (3/8”
Grade 5) should be torqued to 33 lb.
ft. without the use of an impact
wrench.


6. Continue pulling the chain through
the top portion of each section as
you assemble them.
Installing the jacks or zero entry
stands as each section is installed will
assist with supporting the sweep.
Tip: Be sure that the paddles do not
get pinched between the flanges
when bolting them together.
Once you have assembled all the
intermediate sections move to the
drive section assembly.
