SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
2000 Autoflow  
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE OPERATION AND SERVICE  
SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
Use Caution in the  
Operation of this  
Equipment  
1. Read and understand the operating manual before trying to operate the  
dryer.  
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 safeguarded  
against, without interfering with ef-  
ficient operation and reasonable ac-  
cess to components.  
2. Power supply should be OFF for service of electrical components. Use  
CAUTION in checking voltage or other procedures requiring power to  
be ON.  
3. Check for gas leaks at all gas pipe connections. If any leaks are de-  
tected, do not operate the dryer. Shut down and repair before further  
operation.  
4. Never attempt to operate the dryer by jumping or otherwise bypassing  
any safety devices on the unit.  
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 operat-  
ing on automatic control.  
5. Set pressure regulator to avoid excessive gas pressure applied to burner  
during ignition and when burner is in operation. Do not exceed maxi-  
mum recommended drying temperature.  
6. Keep the dryer clean. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the  
plenum or drying chamber.  
7. Use CAUTION in working around high speed fans, gas burners, augers  
and auxiliary conveyors which START AUTOMATICALLY.  
KEEP THE DRYER CLEAN  
DO NOT ALLOW FINE  
MATERIAL TO ACCUMULATE  
IN THE PLENUM CHAMBER  
OR SURROUNDING THE

read the recommended procedure listed within the servicing section of  
the manual.

owner. For a safe and dependable  
drying system, follow the recom-  
mendations within this manual, and  
make it a practice to regularly in-  
spect the operation of the unit for  
any developing problems or unsafe  
conditions.  
Proper Use of Product  
This product is intended for the use of drying small grains only.  
Any other use is a misuse of the product!  
This product has sharp edges! These sharp edges may cause serious  
injury. To avoid injury handle sharp edges with caution and use proper  
protective clothing and equipment at all times.  
Take special note of the safety pre-  
cautions listed above before at-  
tempting to operate the dryer.  
Guards are removed for illustrati on purposes only. All guards must be  
in place before and during operation.

located in an area of the drying chamber that fills  
evenly with the rest of the drying chamber. The  
component placement on page 9 shows the  
placement of the Drying Chamber Rotary Switches  
in relation to the Fill System #1 transport auger/  
downspout.  
Switches are used by the series 2000 Autoflow to  
monitor the location of grain in the Drying Chamber.  
The rotary switch with the shortest shaft extension  
is the Drying Chamber Overflow Rotary Switch. It  
is used as a safety in the event the Chamber High  
Level Rotary Switch fails. The rotary switch with  
the longest extension is the Drying Chamber Low  
Level Rotary Switch. It is used to inform the  
computer when the peak has been covered with grain  
so the drying process can begin; and, will shut down  
if the drying chamber empties unexpectedly. The  
third rotary switch is the Drying Chamber High  
Level Rotary Switch. It is used to inform the dryer  
when the drying chamber is full so loading can stop.  
When mounting the Drying Chamber  
The rotary switches should NOT be located  
in a part of the drying chamber that fills unevenly  
with the rest of the drying chamber. If the area of  
the drying chamber where the rotary switches are  
located fills faster that the rest of the drying chamber  
the drying chamber will not fill to capacity and  
uneven drying will result. If the area of the drying  
chamber where the rotary switches are located fills  
slower than the rest of the drying chamber an  
overflow situation may occur.  
Rotary Switches some foresight is needed. The  
Drying Chamber Rotary Switches should be located  
in close proximity to one another to lessen the  
amount of conduit and wiring required. The rotary  
switches should also be mounted so that they are  
It is very critical that the drying chamber  
fill evenly and that the grain falls from Fill System  
#1 directly onto the perforated cone in the drying  
chamber.

ommendations Chart” for liquid propane to determine the correct size  
line to run from the tank to the dryer. Have a qualified gas service per-  
son inspect the installation to be sure that everything is installed ac-  
cording to local codes and ordinances.  
Top Dry dryers have internal vapor-  
izers, and they are designed to oper-  
ate on liquid draw from the supply  
tank. Avoid using propane supply  
tanks that have been used for vapor  
draw for long periods of time. When  
using liquid draw systems any mois-  
ture that may be present in tanks or  
lines may freeze when the system is  
used in cold weather. To avoid this  
situation, purge the system with  
methanol. Do not use tanks which  
have previously been used for am-  
monia or fertilizer solutions. These  
substances are extremely corrosive  
and will damage fuel supply and  
burner parts. Because the vaporizer  
coil may need to be adjusted during  
operation flexible hose suitable for  
LPs should be used for the final field  
connection.  
After installation is complete check all connections for leaks with  
liquid detergent or comparable. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.  
Avoid contact with liquid propane. DO NOT USE FLAME FOR LEAK  
TESTING.

Natural Gas (NG)  
cording to local codes and ordinances.  
This dryer is designed to operate  
on natural gas. Natural gas units  
have a larger orifice to accommo-  
date lower pressures sometimes  
found with natural gas and do not  
have vaporizer coils like liquid  
propane units. A regulated pres-  
sure of 10 PSI minimum, 30 PSI  
maximum must be provided at the  
field connection point on the fan  
and heater unit, with gas available  
in sufficient volume to maintain  
the operating pressure.  
After installation is complete check all connections for leaks with  
liquid detergent or comparable. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.  
DO NOT USE FLAME FOR LEAK TESTING.  
See the “Fuel Systems and  
Recommendations Chart” for  
natural gas to determine the cor-  
rect size line to run to the dryer.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY  
2000 Autoflow  
Power Supply  
An adequate power supply and proper wiring are impor-  
tant factors for maximum performance and long life of  
the dryer. Electrical service must be adequate enough to  
prevent low voltage damage to motors and control cir-  
cuits (see Electrical Load Information on page 40). In  
220V 1 ph and 220V 3 ph systems a separate neutral  
wire is required for the 120V heater circuit, and should  
be connected to terminal #1 in the master heater. Do  
not run in conduit with motor power lines.  
boards, and the ignition system. The ground rod must  
be in accordance with local requirements.  
Proper Installation of Ground Rod  
It is not recommended that the rod be driven into dry  
ground.  
Follow these instructions for proper installation:  
1.Dig a hole large enough to hold 1 to 2 gallons of  
water.  
Transformer and Wiring Voltage Drop  
2. Fill hole with water.  
3. Insert rod through water and jab it into the ground.  
4. Continue jabbing the rod up and down. The  
water will work its way down the hole, mak-  
ing it possible to work the rod completely into  
the ground. This method of installing the  
rod gives a good conductive bond with the  
surrounding soil.  
It is necessary to know the distance from the unit to the  
available transformer, and the horsepower of your fan  
unit. Advise the service representative of your local power  
supplier that an additional load will be placed on the line.  
Each fan motor should be wired through a fused or cir-  
cuit breaker disconnect switch. Check on KVA rating of  
transformers, considering total horsepower load. The  
power supply wiring, main switch equipment and trans-  
formers must provide adequate motor starting and oper-  
ating voltage. Voltage drop during motor starting should  
not exceed 14% of normal voltage, and after motor is  
running at full speed it should be within 8% of normal  
voltage. Check Electrical Load Information for HP rat-  
ings and maximum amp loads to properly size wire and  
fusing elements. Standard electrical safety practices and  
codes should be used. (Refer to National Electrical Code  
Standard Handbook by National Fire Protection Asso-  
ciation).  
5. Connect the bare, copper ground wire to the  
rod with the proper ground rod clamp. See  
Figure 12.  
6. Connect the bare copper ground wire to the fan  
control boxes with a grounding lug.  
7. Ground wire must  
not have any breaks  
or splices.  
Machine to Earth Grounding  
Dig a hole large  
enough to hold 1  
or 2 gallons of  
water. Work the  
ground rod into  
the earth until it  
is completely in  
the ground.  
It is very important that a Machine To Earth Ground  
Rod be installed at the fan. This is true even if there is  
a ground at the pole 15 feet away. Place the ground  
rod that comes standard, within 8 feet of the dryer  
and attach it to the dryer control panel with at least a  
#6 solid, bare, copper ground wire and the clamp pro-  
vided. The grounding rod located at the power pole  
will not provide adequate grounding for the dryer. The  
proper grounding will provide additional safety in case  
of any short and will ensure long life of all circuit

Autoflow to Drying Chamber Rotary Switches Interconnect  
The three (3) 110V AC rotary switches  
located in the drying chamber are used to inform  
the computer on the location of grain in the  
drying chamber. The rotary switch with the  
shortest extension is the Drying Chamber  
Overflow Rotary Switch. It is used as a safety  
in the event the Chamber High Level Rotary  
Switch fails. The rotary switch with the longest  
extension is the Drying Chamber Low Level  
Rotary Switch. It is used to inform the computer  
when the peak has been covered with grain so  
the drying process can begin; and, will shut the  
dryer down if the drying chamber empties  
unexpectedlly. The third rotary switch is the  
Drying Chamber High Level Rotary Switch. It  
is used to inform the dryer when the drying  
chamber is full. The Drying Chamber Rotary  
Switches us 110V AC to power the motor and  
12V DC+ to switch a signal back to the  
computer. The 110V AC, 110V N, and the 12V  
DC+ wires can be jumped from rotary switch to
