GRAIN STIR-ATOR - David Manufacturing Co.

Operation
PNEG-1156 DIII Stir-Ator
2. START-UP PROCEDURE --
(FULL BIN)
1. First, have the power turned “off" at the
switch box under the bin roof. Turn power on
at panel on the ground, then try and start the
unit with the switch box under the bin roof. If
the augers aren’t set too tight in the grain,
the Stir-Ator will run.
2. Second, if the augers are set tight in the
grain, take a pipe wrench and carefully try to
break them loose by hand. Do not use too
much force, or damage can result to the Stir-
Ator frame, Stir-Ator wall track, or the bin
roof and/or sidewalls could be ruined. If
much torque is needed to turn augers, block
the Stir-Ator up until the augers have been
broken loose and turn relatively free.
3. Third, if double or triple auger units, lock-out
all Stir-Ator auger motors but one. After it is
operating, continue to engage remaining
motors until they are all in operation.
To lock-out an auger motor simply rotate the
handle beside each motor mount clockwise
until it goes past center and remains there.

Because of the different physical characteristics of
the grain, the DESIGN III has the versatility to adapt
to these changes. The roller chain sprocket on the
gear motor is connected to the track drive wheel by
means of the roller chain. The forward speed of the
DESIGN III can be varied by changing the roller
chain sprocket on the gear motor.
