SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
3-1
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
For ease and safety of installation it is
recommended that the bin be empty. If bin is
equipped with aeration or perforated steel floor,
ensure that no obtrusions or potential obstructions
are present that would hinder or damage the
paddle chain or drive wheels. Any depression in
the floor will need to be brought back to
reasonably level, especially any depression that is
in the path of the drive wheels. These
depressions will cause the sweep to hang-up.
Also review the center gearbox in the bin and
determine if the pivot kit ordered is applicable.
WARNING!
• Since the installation of this
sweep can takes place in a
hazardous environment,
Confined Space awareness
should be followed.
• Since the power for the Daay Power Sweep is
thru the gearbox, lock out tag out awareness
should be followed.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR
INSTALLATION:
• Cordless Driver
• Ratchet
• 1/2” & 9/16” shallow & deep socket
• (1) 3/4” wrench
• (1) 15/16” wrench
• (2)Alignment punch
• (1) Center Punch
• Battery powered/Explosion proof light
• Pliers/Needle Nose
• 3’ to 5’ of wire (for pulling paddle chain thru)
• Standard Allen wrench set
• Gloves
• Hammer
• Loctite (blue)
INSTALLATION NOTES:
• All parts are made to fit thru a 24” diameter
access hole or larger. Certain sub-assemblies
may have to be assembled in the bin since
they will not pass thru smaller man holes or
access doors fully assembled.
• It is recommended after components are
assembled and inserted into the bin, to layout
these components on the bin floor in a loose
pattern that resembles the assembled product.
Please see the layout section of manual for
specific sweep length configuration.
• All setscrews should have Loctite (blue) put
on them prior to tightening. This will help
prevent them from loosening during operation.
SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend steel plating (1/8”) installed in
specific areas to support the grain sweep on top of
the aeration floor during burial. The specific
locations we recommend steel support plating are
underneath jacks support stands when in the
parked location and around the center support
caster wheels.
The center support caster wheels are referred to be
the caster wheels located on the front and rear of
the sweep head section in which they are closet to
the center sump of the grain bin.

PADDLE CHAIN INSTALLATION
Paddle Chain Installation:
Reference the following parts of this
manual. See Table of Contents for specific page
numbers.
• Daay Power Sweep Setup Layout dia-
gram for the length of sweep that is
being assembled.
• Daay Power Sweep Parts List for the
length of sweep that is being assem-
bled.
WARNING!
• NEVER use mechanical
means to install the chain.
• Use Caution when advancing
the chain. There are many
pinch points created while in-
serting the chain.
NOTES:
• When installing, be aware to not get any
twists or kinks in the paddle chain assembly.
This will cause assembly problems later while
trying to pull the chain thru the sweep hous-
ing.
• If installing the Daay Power Sweep in a bin
that is not been completely cleaned out yet,
minimize the amount of grain under the
sweep. This will make it easier to pull the
chain into place.
• The paddle chain is installed with the lower
paddles facing the center sump. The bolt
plate will be on the front side and the chain
attachment will be on the back side.
• The paddle chain can be installed a number of
different ways. The following two ways are
only suggestions and may not apply to every
situation or condition.
• Use the wire and the holes in the Section Di-
viders to advance the chain as needed.
• Slow and steady is better and safer than jerk-
ing motions.
Ι. New bins or ones that have been cleaned out
so there is only minimal amounts of grain on
the floor.
1. Start by removing the Pivot End Rub-
ber (689838) and Pivot End Rubber
Plate (704838).
• Reference the Pivot End As-
sembly diagram and parts list
pages.
2. Remove the Pivot End Cap (704837).
