Flour Sifter

TM 10-7360-201-10

2-9. OPERATING PROCEDURE - Continued

Flour Sifter. Make electrical connection (para. 2-9. a.) and proceed as follows:

(1)

Attach three empty sacks to the hooks and spurs (1). If 100-pound (45.4 kilograms) bags are used, rest them

on the ground. If only 50-pound (22.7 kilograms) bags are available, support the bottoms of the bags with

dunnage or pallets.

(2)

Perform the before-operation services (para 2-7).

(3)

Open the three hopper doors (2). If doors are closed, the sifter becomes unbalanced during operation and

causes damage to parts.

(4)

Turn manual starter switch (3) to ON position.

(5)

Pull slide (4) outward to start flow of flour.

(6)

When sacks are full, replace with empties.

(7)

When all flour has been sifted, turn manual switch (3) to OFF position. See that all flour has been removed

from sifter hopper (5) and sieve frames (6), and remove sacks.
