Operating and maintaining multi-crop dryers requires careful attention to safety and cleanliness:
Daily Maintenance: Clean both the inside and outside of the dryer before and after every use. Always operate the system under a protective shed to shield it from rain and bad weather.
Safety Monitoring: Watch the gas, electric, or kerosene heat source closely during operation to prevent overheating and fire hazards.
Soot Prevention: Regularly clean the heat exchanger and air distribution channels to remove carbon soot buildup, ensuring clean airflow and efficient heat transfer.
Battery Care (Solar-Gas/Sogas Models): For hybrid systems, store backup batteries in a cool, dry place. Charge them at least once a month when the system is idle for long periods.
