detected, do not operate dryer. Shut down and repair before fur-
ther operation.
5. Never attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing
any safety devices on the unit.
6. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to
burner during ignition and
when burner is in operation. See chart for

mum recommended dry-
ing temperature.
7. Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in
the plenum chamber.

and requires removal of extra moisture.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
USE CAUTION
IN THE OPERATION
OF THIS EQUIPMENT
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature of
a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment
and high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel,
which can not be completely safe-
guarded against, without interfering
with efficient operation and reason-
able access to components.
Use extreme caution in working
around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary con-
veyors, which may start without
warning when the dryer is operating
on automatic control.
