SUPERSWEEP
Figure 4.3 Chain Clamp Mounting
NOTES FOR PORTABLE SUPERSWEEP USE:
• Working with pivot brackets, pivot arm, and bin sweep flighting is the same as
with the standard bin sweep. A portable chain clamp is substituted for pivot
brackets ( on page 35). A chain clamp allows quick movement of bin sweep
from auger to auger.
• This unit comes standard with over-center belt tightener on the pump. This
allows for easier starting of gas engine (Figure 4.4).
• Operate motor unit from outside working area, on as level a position as possi-
ble.
• If motor unit is tipped over when not in operation, it will likely flood cylinder
and carburetor. We suggest that you:
• Remove spark plug and replace or clean it.
• With the spark plug out, crank engine 4- 6 times to clear cylinder.
• Finally, replace the spark plug and start the engine.
• After running bin sweep momentarily, shut the unit down, and check the
hydraulic oil reservoir. Do not fill the reservoir, but leave 1/2 L (qt) of space
for oil fluctuation.
WARNING
Fire Hazard!
Grain dust is combustible; be sure motor unit
is not operated in an area with high levels of
grain dust.
