This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you  
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all  
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid  
possible injury or death.  
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not  
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.  
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not  
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.  
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not  
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.  
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially  
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property  
damage.  
NOTE indicates information about the equipment that you should pay  
special attention to.

3.  
Disconnect all power before servicing or adjusting. Have bin properly grounded.  
Do not enter a bin while the unit is operating without proper eye protection.  
Do not attempt to service or adjust the unit from a ladder unless the ladder is  
secured to another piece of equipment or to the bin. The grain spreader can  
swing and will not support a ladder. Be sure electrical power is disconnected.  
4.  
5.  
Power cords, plug and receptacles should be the grounded type to prevent injury.  
All wiring should be done according to the National Electric Code and by a  
qualified electrician.  
6.  
Read and understand the operator’s manual.  
WARNING:  
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or property damage.

Installation and Operation

Installation  
Figure 1: Hanger Brackets and Chains  
The hanger brackets should be positioned  
equally spaced around the outer fill hole lip of  
the bin. Do not tighten the bracket hardware  
until the spreader has been installed and  
leveled. Hang the spreader from these brack-  
ets by hooking the two chains that are at-  
tached to each of the spreader support arms  
to two adjacent hanger brackets. When  
properly hung, each set of chains will form a  
“V” and will restrict random movement of the  
spreader.  
Fig. 3  
Fig. 1  
The spreader can be installed at various  
heights in the bin depending on the bin diam-  
eter and roof angle. The spreader should be  
installed as level as possible by checking with  
a level and adjusting the position of the hanger  
brackets and/or the lengths of the chains.  
Fig. 2  
Fig. 4  
Finish the installation by securely tightening  
the hanger brackets.  
Wiring: Refer to the Wiring Diagram and Tables A & B on the next page.  
ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION  
Figure 2: Slide Gate Adjustment  
The slide gates are provided in the pan to allow grain to be spread in the center of the bin. These are  
usually to be open wider for smaller diameter bins.  
Figure 3: Center Cone Adjustment  
It is important that the incoming grain be directed onto the center of the baffle cone in order to dis-  
perse the grain evenly in the hopper. This cone functions as a flow control and can be adjusted by  
lifting it from the spreader and placing the hairpin clip in one of the holes in the baffle post. The cone  
needs to be adjusted higher above the spreader pan for greater capacities and lower for lesser  
rates. Best spreading results are obtained when the cone is adjusted to maintain a cushion of grain  
in the hopper.  
Item 4: Slinger Adjustment  
982, 986 & 996 Econo-Mizers have slingers that can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes of  
bins and grain densities. The slingers will throw grain farther when in the most advanced position  
(hole #1) and will not throw as far when in the swept back position (hole #3). A guide line to use for  
adjusting is to use the third hole for 18 foot diameter bins, the middle hole for 24 - 30 foot bins and  
the first hole for 33 foot and larger bins.

Installation and Operation  
Econo-Mizer  
INSTALLATION  
Use Tables A & B to determine the proper size of fuse protection and the length and size  
of wiring required. Portable extension cords, if used, should be as short as possible to  
minimize voltage drop. Cords that are too long, or cords that are made of inadequate wire  
gauge, can cause the motor to fail.

ADJUSTMENT & OPERATION OF  
CONE HOPPER BAFFLE  
The cone hopper baffle is used to restrict the entering grain and slow it down  
enough to ensure that the cone will always be full and overflowing with grain. The  
cone baffle should be adjusted high enough above the spreading pan to allow the  
overflowing grain to flow between the hopper and the cone baffle and to not flow  
over the sides of the main hopper. Entering grain should be directed onto the  
expanded metal restrictor on top of the cone baffle.

PROBLEM  
CORRECTION  
a. Spreader is not hung level.  
b. Grain is not hitting the center of the baffle  
Grain is high on  
one side of bin.  
c. The baffle is too high causing the grain to slide off one side.

see instructions for cone baffle hopper.  
a. Slide gate is open too far.  
Grain is high at the

b. Check to make sure spreader is running.  
c. Grain is overflowing the main hopper - raise center baffle  
or slow grain flow rate.  
a. Slide gate is not open enough.  
b. Slingers on pan are set too far out.  
Grain is low at the  
center of bin.  
a. Slingers on pan are set too far out (grain is hitting the wall  
and bouncing back).  
b. Open slide gate to fill center of bin.  
Grain forms “donut”  
a few feet from wall.  
c. Spreader model is not adequate for bin size.  
a. Spreader pan is turning the wrong direction: Pan should  
turn clockwise when viewed from the top.  
b. Rubber drive wheel is slipping - replace if badly worn.  
c. Spreader is hanging too high in the center of the bin.  
d. Spreader model is not adequate for bin size.

be equally spaced and positioned as in Figure 2 of  
installation instructions.  
Spreader swings  
when starting.  
a. Rubber drive wheel may be slipping due to excessive  
moisture or broken motor mount spring.  
b. Motor overload may have tripped. It will reset auto-  
matically after the motor has cooled.  
c. Blown fuse or circuit breaker.  
Spreader does  
not run.  
d. Too much voltage drop. See Table A for proper wiring  
size.  
a. Spreader pan is turning the wrong direction: Pan should
