SAFETY FIRST You are responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of your unloader. Do not allow anyone to operate, make adjustments or lubricate your unloader before reading and understanding this manual. Do not allow children or unauthorized personal to operate your unloader. Do not remove guards or warnings Do not allow anyone near the machine before or while the unloader is running. Normal air inside silo will not sustain life, ventilate with fresh air before entering. Lock out power at main disconnect before working near equipment. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power driven parts in motion. When in operation, NO ONE is permitted in the silo or within falling distance from all moving parts. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 5

INTRODUCTION This manual describes the operation and maintenance of the GRAIN-O-MATIC unloader from VALMETAL Be sure to read it carefully before operating the machine or providing maintenance for it, in order to obtain a thorough knowledge of efficient and safe procedures. Please pay special attention to the filling instructions, this is very important for proper operation of the unloader. The Grain-O-Matic high-moisture grain unloader is very efficient in free flowing and semi free flowing material but it will not handle shredded husks or large concentration of trash in ground ear corn. Use a silage distributor for uniform feed distribution. WHOLE KERNEL GRAIN Extra high-moisture grain and /or fine material will cause the feed to set up very hard, causing slow unloading and unnecessary strains on the sweep auger and drive mechanism. HOW IT WORKS The GRAIN-O-MATIC features a power forced sweep arm that continually runs and rotates to keep your grain moving, both down and across, to the center hopper. Paddles within the hopper turn at the same speed as the sweep auger and cycle the material into the exit auger. A ratchet mechanism drives the sweep auger drive shaft. It is engineered with a spring loaded ratchet pawl that idles, to protect the machine, should the sweep auger meet an obstruction. These features allow the GRAIN-O-MATIC unloader to unload free flowing and semi free flowing material. SILO POURED CONCRETE FLOOR FILLING EXIT AUGER DRIVE SHAFT FIG. 1 Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 6

ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION Spring tension is pre-adjusted at 100 lbs/ft, to increase tension, tighten spring nut until you get a steady pull but NO MORE THAN 125lbs/ft. This means that the ratchet drive would not lift more than 125 lbs hanging from a 12" pipe wrench attached to the drive shaft. A tension over 125 lbs/ft should cause the spring to compress enough not to turn the ratchet gear. Use a torque wrench to adjust the tension. Set the machine to OFF, place a torque wrench on the nut welded at the end of the ratchet wheel shaft, release the locking pawl, apply pressure until spring is compressed 5/16" and check the indicated torque (see fig. 2 and fig. 3). SPRING FIG. 2 Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 7

RATCHET PAWL ADJUSTMENT LENGTH Locking pawl in locked position. The length of the ratchet pawl should be adjusted to barely catch the next tooth when in fully advanced position. Lengthen or shorten pawl by turning ratchet pawl adjusting bolt in or out of rod end, then lock with jam nut. IMPORTANT DO NOT USE TENSION ADJUSTING NUT TO ADJUST LENGTH OF RATCHET PAWL. ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION HAS NO EFFECT ON TIMING.

VENTILATE STRUCTURE THOROUGHLY AND LOCK OUT POWER AT MAIN DISCONNECT BEFORE ENTERING TO INSTALL THE EXTENSION. SWEEP AUGER EXTENSION On 24 and larger models, the sweep auger is made in 2 pieces, one main auger and an extension. The extension must not be installed before filling. It is intended to be installed only when the silo is near empty, to clean out the silo wall and be removed before next filling. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 8

ACTUATOR STROKE ADJUSTMENT (#14C35-0167) The stroke is adjusted with cams under the motor cover. 1- Connect the motor (115 V): White wire = neutral Red wire (current) = Retract the tube OR Black wire (current) = Extend the tube 2- Make the motor run so that the tube retracts, but let the extension tube turn freely until the current to the motor is cut by the lower cam (fixed cam). 3- MINIMUM LENGTH ADJUSTMENT: Turn the extension tube by hand up to the desired minimum length, making sure that the inside screw does not move. 4- STROKE ADJUSTMENT: Adjust stroke with the top (adjustable) cam. Notes: Firmly hold the cams when tightening or loosening the adjustment screws. Always set the top (adjustable) cam so that the stroke is shorter than the desired stroke, and progressively lengthen the stroke by readjusting the cam. IMPORTANT: Once the desired stroke is set, make the motor run in both directions to make sure that the current to the motor is cut by the switches in the extended and in the retracted positions. Otherwise, the motor will burn and the warranty will be null. Attention: (Replacement of an actuator controlled by an AUTORATION system) The actuator's time of operation has been programmed in the Autoration system. The new actuator might have a different speed from the one being replaced. Do a trial run with the new actuator in automatic mode to make sure that the opening of the door is adequate. Contact Valmetal if a modification of the actuator's time of operation is required to obtain an adequate opening of the door. IMPORTANT: Make sure to always verify the sealing of the door. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 9

BEFORE FILLLING - Do not begin filling until the unloader is completely installed and ready to run. - Grease all grease fittings. - Check seals for leakage. - Verify the oil level of all gearbox. - Oil the roller chain. - Verify tension and alignment of V-belt. - Make sure that all components are free and running. FILLING PROCEDURE MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER FOR THE UNLOADER TO WORK PROPERLY. 1- The unloader must be operated from time to time during the filling process, otherwise, the enormous load of grain will push the sweep auger down onto the floor and the feed will pack solid around the auger, making the start-up of the machine almost impossible. (See fig. 4) 2- Run unloader one (1) minute after the first four (4) feet of fill and make sure that the sweep auger is free and rotating. 3- Run unloader one (1) minute after each additional eight (8) feet of fill. 4- Run unloader once a day while filling. 5- Run unloader 30 seconds once a week for the next two weeks to relieve pressure from natural settling of fermenting grain. 6- If you do not unload for an extended period of time, run the unloader at least once a month. Certain types of grain continue to ferment and settle long after filling, making the start-up very difficult. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 10

RIGHT SWEEP AUGER POSITION RUNNING SWEEP AUGER WHILE FILLING MAKES START UP EASY WRONG SWEEP AUGER POSITION SWEEP AUGER AT A STAND STILL WHILE FILLING MAKES START UP VERY DIFFICULT FIG.4 PURGING It is recommended to purge your silo with CO 2 if : - It has been filled slowly; - A large quantity of grain is taken out at one time; - It has been filled less than 2/3; - The corn heats (check gasket for leakage). Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 11

OBJECTIVE The idea of purging a silo with CO 2 is to dilute the oxygen to avoid oxidation of the ensiled grain. When : The best time to purge a silo is at the end of the day when the temperature begins to drop, this creates a vacuum effect in the silo. IMPORTANT Make sure all openings (hatches) are sealed. HOW TO PURGE A SILO Connect a cylinder of CO 2 with a regulator to the nipple in the access door. Adjust the pressure slightly above that of the structure relief valve on the roof. As a rule of thumb, a cylinder of CO 2 @ 2000 PSI will be sufficient to dilute the oxygen in the silo if injected at the right time, this may vary, depending on the size of the silo. OPERATING THE UNLOADER Under full load, it may be necessary to start the unloader in slow speed. Always open the exit auger door before starting the unloader. After the unloader is shut off, close the door securely to prevent air leaks. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 12

MAINTENANCE VENTILATE STRUCTURE THOROUGHLY AND LOCK OUT POWER AT MAIN DISCONNECT BEFORE WORKING NEAR EQUIPMENT. Read and understand this manual before maintening or adjusting. Locked out power source and wait for all moving parts to stop before maintening or adjusting. Keep all safety signs on the unloader in good condition and visibles. Failure to follow this procedure could result in serious injury or death. IF RUNNING OBSERVATION IS NECESSARY, - Station a responsible person at the door. - Stay back out of falling distance from all moving parts. - Do not attempt to clean, oil or adjust while in operation. - FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY. MONTHLY - With a hand held grease gun, grease bearings, drive shaft, ratchet pawl and worm bushings (grease lines). NOTE : - Do not overgrease sealed bearings to avoid seals damage. - Replace worn grease fitting if necessary. - Oil roller chain to prevent rust. - Verify V-belt alignment and tension, correct if necessary. - Check oil in shaft mount gearbox. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 13

TO DO WHEN SILO IS EMPTY. Note : Lactic acid from the fermentation process makes the steel rust easily when exposed to the air and moisture of an empty silo. To keep your unloader from rusting : Clean the silo floor. Clean the sweep auger and hopper. Apply a liberal coat of oil on the sweep auger,hopper and run some through the exit tube to prevent rust. Check for worn or damaged flighting or parts. Verify oil seals of double gearbox. Check gearbox oil level and add if necessary. Lubricate roller chain. Check wear, tension and alignment of the drive belt. Remove the sweep auger extension (24 and larger models only). Grease the upper bearing of the lower gearbox (see drawing below). Grease worm shaft bushings (grease lines). GEARBOX: - Replace gearbox oil after 100 running hours. Then replace after 2000 hours or once a year. - Change oil when it is hot. For best result, drain gearbox with detergent oil type before filling with synthetic oil ESSO GX EXTRA or equivalent. - Clean all plugs. NOTE: Replace gearbox oil when silo is empty and ventilated with fresh air. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-03 14

INTRODUCTION This manual describes the operation and maintenance of the GRAIN-O-MATIC unloader from VALMETAL Be sure to read it carefully before operating the machine or providing maintenance for it, in order to obtain a thorough knowledge of efficient and safe procedures. Please pay special attention to the filling instructions, this is very important for proper operation of the unloader. The Grain-O-Matic high-moisture grain unloader is very efficient in free flowing and semi free flowing material but it will not handle shredded husks or large concentration of trash in ground ear corn. Use a silage distributor for uniform feed distribution. Extra high-moisture grain and /or fine material will cause the feed to set up very hard, causing slow unloading and unnecessary strains on the sweep auger and drive mechanism. HOW IT WORKS The GRAIN-O-MATIC features a power forced sweep arm that continually runs and rotates to keep your grain moving, both down and across, to the center hopper. Paddles within the hopper turn at the same speed as the sweep auger and cycle the material into the exit auger. A ratchet mechanism drives the sweep auger drive shaft. It is engineered with a spring loaded ratchet pawl that idles, to protect the machine, should the sweep auger meet an obstruction. These features allow the GRAIN-O-MATIC CK unloader to unload free flowing and semi free flowing material. SILO EXIT AUGER DRIVE SHAFT FIG. 1 Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 6

ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION Spring tension is pre-adjusted at 100 lbs/ft, to increase tension, tighten spring nut until you get a steady pull but NO MORE THAN 125lbs/ft. This means that the ratchet drive would not lift more than 125 lbs hanging from a 12" pipe wrench attached to the drive shaft. A tension over 125 lbs/ft should cause the spring to compress enough not to turn the ratchet gear. Use a torque wrench to adjust the tension. Set the machine to OFF, place a torque wrench on the nut welded at the end of the ratchet wheel shaft, release the locking pawl, apply pressure until spring is compressed 5/16" and check the indicated torque (see fig. 2 and fig. 3). SPRING FIG. 2 Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 7

RATCHET PAWL ADJUSTMENT LENGTH Locking pawl in locked position. The length of the ratchet pawl should be adjusted to barely catch the next tooth when in fully advanced position. Lengthen or shorten pawl by turning ratchet pawl adjusting bolt in or out of rod end, then lock with jam nut. IMPORTANT DO NOT USE TENSION ADJUSTING NUT TO ADJUST LENGTH OF RATCHET PAWL. ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION HAS NO EFFECT ON TIMING. RATCHET PAWL RATCHET PAWL ADJUSTING BOLT BRAS D'ENCL 5/8" NUT TORQUE WRENCH SPRING ÉCROU POUR DYNAM JAM NUT RATCHET WHEEL LOCKING PAWL TENSION ADJUSTING NUT RO À R FIG. 3 NORMAL AIR INSIDE SILO WILL NOT SUSTAIN LIFE. VENTILATE STRUCTURE THOROUGHLY AND LOCK OUT POWER AT MAIN DISCONNECT BEFORE ENTERING TO INSTALL THE EXTENSION. SWEEP AUGER EXTENSION On 24 and larger models, the sweep auger is made in 2 pieces, one main auger and an extension. The extension must not be installed before filling. It is intended to be installed only when the silo is near empty, to clean out the silo wall and be removed before next filling. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 8

The stroke is adjusted with cams under the motor cover. 1- Connect the motor (115 V): White wire = neutral Red wire (current) = Retract the tube OR Black wire (current) = Extend the tube ACTUATOR STROKE ADJUSTMENT (#14C35-0167) 2- Make the motor run so that the tube retracts, but let the extension tube turn freely until the current to the motor is cut by the lower cam (fixed cam). 3- MINIMUM LENGTH ADJUSTMENT: Turn the extension tube by hand up to the desired minimum length, making sure that the inside screw does not move. 4- STROKE ADJUSTMENT: Adjust stroke with the top (adjustable) cam. Notes: Firmly hold the cams when tightening or loosening the adjustment screws. Always set the top (adjustable) cam so that the stroke is shorter than the desired stroke, and progressively lengthen the stroke by readjusting the cam. IMPORTANT: Once the desired stroke is set, make the motor run in both directions to make sure that the current to the motor is cut by the switches in the extended and in the retracted positions. Otherwise, the motor will burn and the warranty will be null. Attention: (Replacement of an actuator controlled by an AUTORATION system) The actuator's time of operation has been programmed in the Autoration system. The new actuator might have a different speed from the one being replaced. Do a trial run with the new actuator in automatic mode to make sure that the opening of the door is adequate. Contact Valmetal if a modification of the actuator's time of operation is required to obtain an adequate opening of the door. IMPORTANT: Make sure to always verify the sealing of the door. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 9

BEFORE FILLLING - Do not begin filling until the unloader is completely installed and ready to run. - Grease all grease fittings. - Check seals for leakage. - Verify the oil level of all gearbox. - Oil the roller chain. - Verify tension and alignment of V-belt. - Make sure that all components are free and running. FILLING PROCEDURE MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE BE FOLLOWED IN ORDER FOR THE UNLOADER TO WORK PROPERLY. 1- The unloader must be operated from time to time during the filling process, otherwise, the enormous load of grain will push the sweep auger down onto the floor and the feed will pack solid around the auger, making the start-up of the machine almost impossible. (See fig. 6) 2- Run unloader one (1) minute after the first four (4) feet of fill and make sure that the sweep auger is free and rotating. 3- Run unloader one (1) minute after each additional eight (8) feet of fill. 4- Run unloader once a day while filling. 5- Run unloader 30 seconds once a week for the next two weeks to relieve pressure from natural settling of fermenting grain. 6- If you do not unload for an extended period of time, run the unloader at least once a month. Certain types of grain continue to ferment and settle long after filling, making the start-up very difficult. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 10

RIGHT SWEEP AUGER POSITION RUNNING SWEEP AUGER WHILE FILLING MAKES START UP EASY. WRONG SWEEP AUGER POSITION SWEEP AUGER AT A STAND STILL WHILE FILLING MAKES START UP VERY DIFFICULT. FIG.6 Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 11

PURGING NEVER ENTER SILO WITHOUT COMPLETE VENTILATION; FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY. It is recommended to purge your silo with CO 2 if : - It has been filled slowly; - A large quantity of grain is taken out at one time; - It has been filled less than 2/3; - The corn heats (check gasket for leakage). OBJECTIVE The idea of purging a silo with CO 2 is to dilute the oxygen to avoid oxidation of the ensiled grain. When : The best time to purge a silo is at the end of the day when the temperature begins to drop, this creates a vacuum effect in the silo. IMPORTANT Make sure all openings (hatches) are sealed. HOW TO PURGE A SILO Connect a cylinder of CO 2 with a regulator to the nipple in the access door. Adjust the pressure slightly above that of the structure relief valve on the roof. As a rule of thumb, a cylinder of CO 2 @ 2000 PSI will be sufficient to dilute the oxygen in the silo if injected at the right time, this may vary, depending on the size of the silo. OPERATING THE UNLOADER Under full load, it may be necessary to start the unloader in slow speed. Always open the exit auger door before starting the unloader. After the unloader is shut off, close the door securely to prevent air leaks. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 12

MAINTENANCE VENTILATE STRUCTURE THOROUGHLY AND LOCK OUT POWER AT MAIN DISCONNECT BEFORE WORKING NEAR EQUIPMENT. Read and understand this manual before maintening or adjusting. Locked out power source and wait for all moving parts to stop before maintening or adjusting. Keep all safety signs on the unloader in good condition and visibles. Failure to follow this procedure could result in serious injury or death. IF RUNNING OBSERVATION IS NECESSARY, - Station a responsible person at the door. - Stay back out of falling distance from all moving parts. - Do not attempt to clean, oil or adjust while in operation. - FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY. MONTHLY - With a hand held grease gun, grease bearings, drive shaft, ratchet pawl and worm bushings (grease lines). - NOTE : - Do not overgrease sealed bearings to avoid seals damage. - Replace worn grease fitting if necessary. - Grease worm shaft bushings via 2 oil fittings located on the door plate. - Oil roller chain to prevent rust. - Verify V-belt alignment and tension, correct if necessary. - Check oil in shaft mount gearbox. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 13

TO DO WHEN SILO IS EMPTY. Note : Lactic acid from the fermentation process makes the steel rust easily when exposed to the air and moisture of an empty silo. To keep your unloader from rusting : Clean the silo floor. Clean the sweep auger and hopper. Apply a liberal coat of oil on the sweep auger,hopper and run some through the exit tube to prevent rust. Check for worn or damaged flighting or parts. Verify oil seals of double gearbox. Check gearbox oil level and add if necessary. Lubricate roller chain. Check wear, tension and alignment of the drive belt. Grease the upper bearing of the lower gearbox (see drawing below). Grease worm shaft bushings (grease lines). GEARBOXES: NEVER ENTER SILO WITHOUT VENTILATION WITH FRESH AIR; FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER TRY TO UNPLUG UNLOADER WHILE RUNNING; YOU COULD BE CATCH BY THE AUGER. - Replace gearbox oil after 100 running hours. Then replace after 2000 hours or once a year. - Change oil when it is hot. For best result drain gearbox with detergent oil type before filling with synthetic oil ESSO GX EXTRA or equivalent. - Clean all plugs. NOTE: Replace gearbox oil when silo is empty and ventilated with fresh air. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 14

SILO UNLOADER GRAIN-O-MATIC CK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 15

Note : Your silo will contain highly perishable comestibles. The only way to keep it in good condition is to check the sealing of all doors before each filling. It s the responsibility of the installer, the owner and the silo user to ensure an adequate installation, a proper functioning of the unloader and the sealing of the structure. ATTENTION : The GRAIN-O-MATIC CK unloader is designed for the installation into a silo with a 7 1/2" deep X 24" wide trough from the center of the silo to the access door. It may be used with or without the metal plates that are used to cover the trough. Remove the double gearbox from the drive ring to lighten the assembly and pass it through the door. Caution, it might be necessary to remove the tube flange and gasket. Check the oil level in the two gearboxes. Add if necessary, use SAE 80-90 oil. Install grease fittings and copper tubes on the worm shaft assembly. Install the central hopper into the trough. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 16

Reinstall the tube flange and rubber gasket. Through the door, slide the exit tube toward the central hopper; the flat portion of the flange must be underneath. Install the rubber gasket and secure the tube to the hopper with 3/8 tensi lock nuts. Do not tighten now. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 17

Use a level underneath the exit tube spout to properly position the exit tube, when leveled, tighten the nuts until the gasket is compressed. Check level again to make sure the tube remains level. Center the hopper assembly inside the silo. The distance from the wall should be the same in all directions. Make sure the exit tube is also in the center of the door. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 18

Drill 8 holes in the concrete floor the size of the expansion shields supplied (3/4"). Insert the shields and hammer down. Insert lag screws and lock washers, do not tighten now. Make sure the hopper assembly is level, use spacers underneath mounting brackets to correct if necessary. Tighten all the lag screws. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 19

Using the worm, pivot the drive ring as shown. Install the double gearbox on the drive ring, output shafts aiming at the door. Do not forget to install the half moon cover, tighten all bolts. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 20

Slide in the worm drive shaft and install the threaded pipe. Slide the tube sealing plate inside the silo at this moment. Before installing the sweep auger, apply a generous coating of antiseize compound on the output shaft. Insert the 5/8" bolts and secure with locknut. Also tighten the two compression bolts on the sweep auger. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 21

Apply a generous coat of caulking on door frame and on the top portion of the exit tube, where it will touch the door plate. Slide the door plate over the drive shaft tube and exit tube, attach to the door frame with flat socket head cap screw 1/2" x 1" lg. Tighten with allen wrench. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 22

Install grease fittings on the door plate and connect copper tubes. Using tie wraps, fix copper tubes on the drive shaft. Apply caulking on the peremeter of the half tube sealing plate. Bolt the sealing plate to the door plate with two 3/8" x 1 1/2" hex. bolts and five 1/2" x 1 1/4" hex. bolts and nuts. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 23

From the inside, apply a generous coat of caulking around the drive shaft tube and attach the sealing plate, use 1/2" x 1" flat socket head cap screw for the top holes and 1/2" x 1 1/4" hex. bolts for both bottom holes. Tighten the 4 bolts. Caulking should form an air tight seal. Clean the external face of the silo door and install decals as illustrated Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 24

From the mounting frame, remove the ratchet wheel and pillow block bearing assemblies, take apart. Slide a pillow block bearing and the ratchet wheel on the worm drive shaft, make sure the teeth on wheel are in the right position. Secure with a 5/16" x 2 1/4" hex. bolt. Slide the exit auger inside the tube. Place six 3/8" x 1 1/4"carriage bolts through the gearbox mount holes and install the rubber gasket. Now, insert the gearbox output shaft into the exit auger tube and secure with a 5/8" x 4" hex. bolt. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 25

Rotate the drive frame assembly so that the holes in the pillow block bearing and mounting frame line up and secure with 1/2" x 1 3/4" carriage bolts, do not tight now. Push the drive assembly so that the exit auger slides onto the output shaft of the double gearbox and the drive shaft inside the worm shaft. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 26

Attach the exit tube to the drive frame assembly. Level before tightening the nuts. Insert the stub shaft into the ratchet wheel and secure with a 5/16" x 2 1/4" hex. bolt. Install the pillow block bearing, tighten all the bolts and the bearings set screws. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 27

Install motor, pulleys and v-belt. Align properly and set the tension of the belt. Remove the plug on top of the gearbox and replace with the air breather. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 28

Install the belt shield with the hinge pin and cotter pin. Adjust nuts on locking bolt according to the shield. The electrical connections should now be made by a qualified electrician. Motor should turn clockwise (see figure). IMPORTANT Any electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician. Install the exit door. Make sure there is enough compression on the gasket to assure an air tight seal. IMPORTANT Test run the machine at least one complete revolution of the sweep auger before filling the silo. Verify all the moving parts. Grain-O-Matic Revised 2014-11-04 29
