WORK AREA SAFETY
•Work Area is dened as the area surround-
ing grain handling equipment.
• Make sure that no children or unauthorized
persons enter the work area.
• If anyone not involved in the actual opera-
tion DOES enter the work area, the operator
on duty should immediately shut down the
equipment until all unauthorized persons are
safely out of the work area.
• Do not have loose clothing, long hair, etc.
that can be grabbed by rotating equipment.
• Prior to start-up and during operation, make
sure that the work area is clean and free of
any tools and debris. KEEP AREA CLEAN
WEAR PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
• Wear protective clothing.
• Wear hand protection - leather, etc.
• Wear safety glasses / ear plugs / etc.
• Use fall protection when climbing.
ANSI and NFPA STANDARDS
• Install all equipment in compliance
with ANSI and NFPA Standards.
OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
• Anyone who has not read or does not
completely understand all operating and
safety instructions contained within this
manual is not qualied to operate the
equipment.
• Only competent and experienced persons
should operate farm equipment. Anyone
operating or working around power equip-
ment must understand and meet all legal
and contractual requirements.
`
• The owner / operator must know the regula-
tions in your own area. For example, some
regulations specify that no one under the
age of 16 may operate power machinery
including farmstead equipment.
• Current OSHA regulations state in part, “At
the time of initial assignment and at least
annually thereafter, the employer shall in-
struct every employee in the safe operation
and servicing of all equipment with which
the employee is, or will be involved. **
• Know and use proper LOCK OUT / TAG
OUT procedures and know the emergency
shut-off locations of any and all utilities
connected to the equipment.

EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
• LOCK OUT & TAG OUT the equipment
prior to any inspection, adjustment, service,
or maintenance.
• Inspect the equipment after assembly,
before each use, and end of season.
DRIVES AND LOCKOUTS
• Make sure the power disconnect switch
can be locked in the OFF position. This
disconnect switch must be locked whenever
work is being performed on the equipment.
• Inspect all power drives before adding
power. Chains, belts, etc. should have
proper tension or be adjusted prior to
running.
• Electric motors and controls must be
installed by a qualied electrician. They
must meet the standards set by the NFPA
Std 70 of the National Electrical Code and
all local and state codes.
• Disconnect power before resetting motor
overloads.
BIN SAFETY
• Never enter a bin without being monitored
by another person.
• Do not enter the grain bin unless all power
to equipment has been LOCKED OUT &
TAGGED OUT.
• Use a safety harness and safety line when
inside the bin.
• Avoid walking on grain near the grain out-
lets. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate.
• Do not enter the bin if the grain has not
owed out of the bin normally. Moisture in
the bin can cause grain to form steep, un-
stable inclines or bridges as shown in the
diagrams below:
CRUSTED GRAIN - STEEP INCLINE
CRUSTED GRAIN - FORMS BRIDGE
Failure to observe these safety instructions can result in injury or death !!

4. ASSEMBLY
Position the spreader assembly so that it’s resting on the top of the inlet funnel. (The assembly will
be upside-down compared to the view on the previous page).
Note that the ow response funnel assembly is spring loaded:
1. Squeeze the two outside rings together, compressing the springs, and position the assembly
so that the shaft coupling can be accessed.
2. Maintain this “working position” using two C-clamps on both sides.
3. The gear reducer is supplied with the shaft coupling in place. The shaft coupling has a thru-
hole on one end with 5/16” hardware in the hole. Leave the BOTTOM 5/16” hardware in place
and verify secure.
4. Remove the TOP 5/16” hardware and save for re-insertion later.
5. Position the shaft weldment of the spreader pan assembly thru the ow response funnel and
into the shaft coupling.
6. Position / rotate the spreader assembly until the TOP 5/16” bolt can be reinserted back thru the
coupling & shaft weldment.
7. Secure the assemblies together with the 5/16” locknut.

• Remove the supplied hardware from each hanger bracket for use later on.
• Position the three brackets evenly around the grain bin peak ring.
• Tighten the u-bolts enough to hold the brackets in place, but loose enough to adjust the
positioning around the peak ring.
• Using the existing hole in each bracket for a “template”, drill a permanent mount hole through
the peak ring at each location.
• Secure each bracket with the supplied hardware

5. INSTALLATION
• Position the spreader so that it rests on the spreader pan - do not leave the assembly in this
position for an extended period of time.
• Hoist the spreader assembly to the top of the bin.
• Ensure all 3 hanger brackets are spaced equally around the peak ring - as long as each brack-
et with chain is the same length or number of links, the assembly will be level.
• The hanging height can be adjusted by using all or part of the chain - make adjustments until
the grain entry falls within the inlet funnel and not so high that the roof slope deects the grain
during operation.
• Using a level, check top surface of the motor 360 degrees around to verify.
• Tighten the U-bolts.
