1. Disconnect all power before servicing or adjusting. Have bin properly grounded.
2. Do not enter a bin while the unit is operating without proper eye protection.
3. Do not attempt to service or adjust the unit from a ladder unless the ladder is
secured to another piece of equipment or to the bin. The grain spreader can
swing and will not support a ladder. Be sure electrical power is disconnected.
4. Power cords, plug and receptacles should be the grounded type to prevent injury.
5. All wiring should be done according to the National Electric Code and by a
qualified electrician.
6. Read and understand the Operator’s Manual.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or property damage.

3. Installation and Operation
Installation
Figure 3A
Hanger Brackets and Chains (Figure 1)
The hanger brackets should be positioned equally spaced around the outer fill hole lip of the bin. Do not
tighten the bracket hardware until the spreader has been installed and leveled. Hang the spreader from
these brackets by hooking the two (2) chains that are attached to each of the spreader support arms to
two (2) adjacent hanger brackets. When properly hung, each set of chains will form a “V” and will restrict
random movement of the spreader.
The spreader can be installed at various heights inthe bin depending on the bin diameter and roof angle.
The spreader should be installed as level as possible by checking with a level and adjusting the position
of the hanger brackets and/or the lengths of the chains.
Finish the installation by securely tightening the hanger brackets.
Wiring: Refer to Wiring Diagram on Page 9 and Table A and Table B on Page 10.

Adjustment and Operation
Slide Gate Adjustment (Figure 2 on Page 8.)
The slide gates are provided in the pan to allow grain to be spread in the center of the bin. These are
usually to be open wider for smaller diameter bins.
Center Cone Adjustment (Figure 3 on Page 8.)
It is important that the incoming grain be directed onto the center of the baffle cone in order to disperse
the grain evenly in the hopper. This cone functions as a flow control and can be adjusted by lifting it from
the spreader and placing the hairpin clip in one of the holes in the baffle post. The cone needs to be
adjusted higher above the spreader pan for greater capacities and lower for lesser rates. Best spreading
results are obtained when the cone is adjusted to maintain a cushion of grain in the hopper.
Slinger Adjustment (Figure 4 on Page 8.)
982, 986 and 996 Econo-Mizers have slingers that can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of bins
and grain densities. The slingers will throw grain farther when in the most advanced position (hole #1) and
will not throw as far when in the swept back position (hole #3). A guide line to use for adjusting is to use
the third hole for 18' diameter bins, the middle hole for 24'-30' bins and the first hole for 33' and larger bins.

Installation
Use
Table A
and
Table B
to determine the proper size of fuse protection and the length and size of wiring
required. Portable extension cords, if used, should be as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
Cords that are too long, or cords that are made of inadequate wire gauge, can cause the motor to fail.
Table A (Wire Size)
Table B (Fuse Size)
Adjustment and Operation of Cone Hopper Baffle
The cone hopper baffle is used to restrict the entering grain and slow it down enough to ensure that the
cone will always be full and overflowing with grain. The cone baffle should be adjusted high enough
above the spreading pan to allow the overflowing grain to flow between the hopper and the cone baffle
and to not flow over the sides of the main hopper. Entering grain should be directed onto the expanded
metal restrictor on top of the cone baffle.
