Tank
Liquid
Oil To Dryer
NOTE: Size the line for maximum capacity of your dryer system, while taking into consideration
any future plans to upgrade.
• The supply regulator set should be located near the dryer to reduce the supply line length.
• Refer to Table 4C1 to determine the MAXIMUM burner output per dryer model.
• Then refer to Table 4C2 to choose a slightly greater flow rate for the current (or future) flow
requirements. Based on that flow requirement, which includes the 1 psi pressure drop, see
which choice of line material & length best suit the system requirements.
Verify that all joints are tight and that ALL shutoff valves work correctly.

Stack & Secure Sections
WARNING
NOTE: All styles of fill systems, including catwalk and / or safety cage, should be completely
assembled on the ground and then lifted into position and secured.
OVERVIEW
• Refer to APPENDIX - Dryer Layout Configuratioins for specifics on sections and section
stacking order.
• Depending on the dryer model configuration, certain parts are installed at the factory and
certain parts require installation as the sections are stacked.
• STACKING ORDER - If your dryer has multiple sections, make sure you stack the sections in
the proper order. The dryer section with the cord set labeled “1” is the longest cord and would
be the upper-most section located the furthest away from the control panel. Position the rest
likewise - #2 cord set would be the next dryer section toward the bottom and so on.
• LP FUELED DRYERS: Be carefull of the LP vaporizer coils when stacking sections - they stick
up slightly and can be damaged !!!
• PLATFORM SUPPORT COLUMNS: These are shipped wired to the platforms and should be

OVERVIEW
• Ladder location depends on model type - single blower units have the ladder system mounted
at the rear of dryer, to the LEFT of the plenum door. Dryers with multiple platforms have the
ladder system mounted at the front of dryer, going up through the platform floors, on the
opposite side of transition fuel train.
• If the ladder section matches the dryer section (4 tier section would match an 8’ ladder section)
the installation is completed at the factory. See APPENDIX - Dryer Layouts for specifics.
• The 10’ (#040370) & 8’ (#040369) ladder sections include two ladder brackets with each
section supplied. The 4’ (#044117) section includes one ladder bracket and is used only as the
top-most section in the ladder system when required. It will always have to be installed.
• The top-most section of ladder (10’, 8’, or 4’) attaches to the #088083 Ladder Connection
Plates of the Safety Cage system using the #088028 ladder clips and 3/8” hardware.
• If the ladder section for a dryer section would be above the upper-most tier level for shipping,
that ladder section is NOT factory mounted - it is shipped wired to that dryer section’s platform.
• On most domestic systems, the brackets have been factory mounted when possible.
• It is suggested to either add each ladder section as the dryer sections are installed upward or
to wait until all dryer sections and topside filling section have been installed.
60
Refer to Figure 6T:
• NOTE: For dryers with a roof and catwalk system, the 6” dimension from the edge of tier to
the #080022 ladder bracket edge should be held closely or the #080083 ladder attachment
brackets will not match up correctly.
• Note how the ladder bracket is positioned against the “lip” of a tier sdection - this provides
alignment and additional stability.

WARNING
Be sure to utilize spreader bars or similalr
means to properly lift the unit. Main lift
component should be vertical - do not use
sharp angles on strapping !!
NOTE:
• In most cases, the top-most ladder section Figure 6X - Install into final position and secure
is a 4’ section and already attached to
the safety cage attachment brackets -
use ladder clips to secure the two ladder
sections together.
• For some models, the final ladder section
may be 8’ or 10’ and need to be installed to
the safety cage ladder attachment brackets.

WARNING
• All electrical wiring will terminate at the control panel for standard control system dryers.
• The customer is responsible for providing materials & labor to the dryer system.
• A properly sized fused disconnect box must be in place PRIOR to finall connections are made
to the dryer control box and all personell should know the location and how to operate it.
64
Refer to Figure 7B:
• The dryer has a series of cables / wires that are wound up on the right side of the Control Box.
• They are identified with a location - such as Burner-1, Burner-2, Mod-1, Mod-2, etc. with #1 be-
ing the TOPMOST section, #2 being the next section down, etc.
• Route the cords - utilize the platform column supports for multiple sections and wire ties, etc.

• The installation location of the Fill & Low switches depends upon the style of fill and
configuration of the intake grain supply.
• The various installation positions come from the factory covered with a #059166 cover plate.
•
• Determine the correct switch position for the equipment configuration, install the switches, and
connect the wiring as shown.
Gravity fill systems intake grain at the center - the intake auger system must match to this
location.

LEVEL AUGER FILL SYSTEM OVERVIEW
• Grain intake position must be a minimum of 2’ from either end of the dryer.
• Factory configuration, per motor cable length and catwalk access, has the level auger motor
located at the front end of the dryer closest to the control box.
• The Fill Dryer Switch and the Low Dryer Switch must be located at the OPPOSITE end of
intake grain entry for correct operation.
• Standard auger motor rotation brings the intake grain FORWARD from a grain entry position
located at the rear end of the dryer. Reversed auger rotation results in the opposite.

• The actual wiring for these two switches is included within the bundled YELLOW cables going
from the Main Control (Standard Control) through the Burner Box.
• The upper-most dryer section burner box will have the remaining cable coiled and marked for
Fill Dryer and Low Dryer.
• These standard lengths are sufficient for all styles of fill where the two switches are located at
the front of the dryer.
• It may be necessary to use the extension cables provided when the two switches are located
at the rear of the dryer.

Dryer Layout Configurations
• Each dryer model shows the sections as they are shipped - see towing section for additional
information.
• Be sure to pay attention to the cord lengths of blower, etc. so that the longest cord will go to
the secton FURTHEST from the control panel, and so on.
• For example only, a roof with level auger fill system (Safety Cage not shown) is shown above
the top tier. See the OVERVIEW & ASSEMBLY section for details on the different fill systems.
• Dryer systems with only one blower use an angled transition and the ladder system is mounted
at the rear of the dryer to the LEFT of plenum door.
• Dryer systems that have a roof (Level Auger or Gravity fill type) have a catwalk system.
• All ladder systems have a safety cage at the top.
