ROTATING FLIGHT
DANGER!
Rotating Flight
Grain augers can kill or dismember.
Keep clear of all augers and never enter the bin unless all
power is disconnected and locked out. Failure to do so will
result in serious injury or death!
OPERATE UNLOAD EQUIPMENT PROPERLY
Make sure ALL equipment is locked in position before operating.
NEVER start equipment until ALL persons are clear of the work area.
Be sure all operators are adequately rested and prepared to
perform all functions of operating this equipment.
NEVER allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol
or drugs to operate the equipment.
Operate
Unload
NEVER work alone.
Equipment
Safely
Make sure someone is nearby who is aware of the proper shutdown
sequence in the event of an accident or emergency.
ALWAYS think before acting. NEVER act impulsively
around the equipment.
NEVER allow anyone inside a bin, truck, or wagon which is being
unloaded by an auger or conveyor. Flowing grain can trap and
suffocate in seconds.
Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
NEVER drive, stand or walk under the equipment.
ALWAYS lockout ALL power to the equipment when finished
unloading a bin.

7. Operator Qualifications.
A. The User/Operator must be competent and experienced to operate auger equipment. Any-
one who works with or around augers must have good common sense in order to be quali-
fied. These persons must also know and meet all other qualifications, such as:
1. Any person who has not read and/or does not understand all operation and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate any auger systems.
2. Certain regulations apply to personnel operating power machinery. Personnel under the
age of 18 years may not operate power machinery, including augers. It is your
responsibility, as owner and/or supervisor, to know what these regulations are in your area
or situation.
3. Unqualified or incompetent persons are to remain out of work area.
4. O.S.H.A. (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations state:
“At the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter, the employer shall instruct
every employee in the safe operation and servicing of all equipment with which the
employee is, or will be involved.” (Federal Occupational Safety & Health Standards for
Agriculture. Sub part D, Section 19287.57 (a) (6).
B. As a requirement of OSHA, it is necessary for the employer to train the employee in the
safe operating and safety procedures for this auger. We included this sign-off sheet for your
convenience and personal record keeping. All unqualified people are to stay out of the work
area at all times. It is strongly recommended that another qualified person who knows the
shutdown procedure is in the area in the event of an emergency. A person who has not read
this manual and understands all operating and safety instructions, is not qualified to operate
the machine.

Start-Up
1. Preform Pre-Start Checks
Warning! To ensure that the drive is not unexpectedly started, turn off and
lock out or tag out the power source before proceeding. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in bodily injury.
Danger! Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may cause
damage to the equipment and/or cause SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to those
in the work area.
Failure to perform any or all of these pre-start checks may also be a misuse
of the equipment. Any misuse of the equipment may void the warranty.
A. Make sure ALL shields are in place.
ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is
disconnected and locked out.
B. Inspect the collector ring for any problems or potential problems.
C. Be aware of any emergency shutdown procedures. Two (2) people must always be in a
position where the operation of the equipment can be monitored.
D. Before starting the auger for the first time, make sure that all parts are assembled correctly
according to the instructions in this manual.
Make certain ONLY trained operators are in the work area before operating or
moving the machine. Two (2) people must always be in a position where the
operation of the equipment can be monitored.

Maintenance
1. Maintain the Hopper
ALWAYS shutdown and disconnect the power supply before adjusting,
servicing or cleaning the equipment.
A. Use caution when repairing or replacing equipment parts.
B. Make sure ALL decals are legible and tightly attached to the hopper. If necessary, replace
them FREE OF CHARGE by contacting GSI at:
GSI

Maintenance
2. Collector Ring Maintenance
3. To remove and replace the brush:
a) remove the clamp screw from the brush
holder
A. Lubrication
1. All bearings are lubricated for life at the factory.
Additional lubrication should not be required.
b) remove the screw from the brush lead
c) remove the brush holder
d) replace the brush
2. CAUTION: Do not apply any lubricants or
solvent cleaning agents to any part of the slip
ring.
e) reassemble.
B. Brush Holders
E. Brush Fit Inspection
1. Make the first inspection shortly after installation
and before operation. Make continuing inspections
on a regular basis after every 200-400 hours of
operation under normal conditions.
1. Brushes must run at 90° ± 3° square on the rings.
If brush is not square, adjust position of brush
holder on brush post.
2. Brushes need not run on the center of the rings,
but there should be no forceful friction against the
insulators.
C. Brush Holders
1. Inspect brush holders for proper alignment.
Locate brush holders so that the entire brush
contact surface rides squarely on the ring with the
brush moving freely in the brush holder. Position
brush holders so that the brush makes contact
with the middle of the conductor and is not offset.
3. The brush spring cross-bar must be seated in the
brush slot.
Cross-bar Seated
in Brush Slot
Brush Holder
2. Check brush holder clamps for tightness. Set
clamp bolts at 10 in-lb max.
3. Inspect brush terminations at the holder to assure
that no external force is imposed on the holder.
We recommend flexible or soft wire leads for
these terminations. Use external clamps to
support the entire weight of the leads.

Maintenance
2. Collector Ring Maintenance (Cont.)
G. Rings
3. Periodically perform an inspection by removing the
enclosure and checking for condensation, water
and dust collection. If contaminants are found,
wipe the enclosure and the assembly with a lint
free cloth. If the problem persists, take steps to
remedy the leakage or condensation problem.
1. Inspect the ring surface for dirt, oxidation, or
other contaminants. A properly operating ring will
have a film that appears burnished in color with a
darker surrounding color where the brushes
track. If the ring requires cleaning, order Slip
Ring Polishing Kit #41286.
K. Slip Ring Storage
H. Electrical Connections
1. When storing the slip ring, keep it at room
temperature in a clean, dry, protective place.
Place self-contained or bagged absorbent material
in the collector ring enclosure during extended
periods of storage. Remove absorbent material
before putting collector ring into operation.
1. Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion
and tightness. Clean corroded parts with a wire
brush and/or muriatic acid. Loose and/or
corroded terminations will cause a concentration
of excessive heat.
I. Brush Rigging
1. Brush posts are supported between two outboard
bearings. The brush posts extend to the outboard
bearings and are secured by a notch in the
outboard
L. Serial Number
1. Make the following information available when
ordering replacement parts or discussing the slip
ring with the factory by recording the information in
the spaces provided here. This information is
located on your packing slip, factory invoice, and
serial number tag.
2. Spacing between the outboard bearings is critical
to assure the free rotation of the brush rigging.
The brush posts are cut to an exact length in
order to provide the proper spacing. Locate the
outboard bearings against the insulator and have
a 0.20" clearance without deformation of the
material. CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the
outboard brush post jam nuts. Make a final check
to assure there is no binding of the outboard
brush rigging or binding of brushes with insulator
barriers.

J. Enclosure Inspection
1. Moisture is a major cause of slip ring
deterioration. Water will corrode parts and
breakdown insulation. Dust and dirt present
within the enclosure will effect the proper
operation of the assembly. Most dusts cause
excessive brush and slip ring wear, and
conductive dust, if allowed to accumulate, will
form a path for short circuiting.
2. A properly designed NEMA 4 enclosure will be
dust tight and watertight. However, NEMA 4
enclosures do not eliminate internal
condensation. Condensation can be eliminated
with the addition of a breather , drain, and a
thermostatically controlled heater.
