2.1 SAFETY OVERVIEW
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Ag Shield cross auger. YOU must
ensure that you and anyone else who is going to
operate, maintain or work around the cross auger be
familiar with the operating and maintenance
procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual. This manual will take you
step-by-step through your working day and alerts you
to all good safety practices that should be adhered to
while operating the cross auger.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
operating this equipment is familiar with the
recommended operating and maintenance procedures
and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents
can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by
ignoring good safety practices.
•Cross auger owners must give operating instruc-
tions to operators or employees before allowing
them to operate the cross auger, and at least
annually thereafter per OSHA regulation 1928.57.
•The most important safety device on this
equipment is a SAFE operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety
and Operating instructions in the manual and to
follow these. All accidents can be avoided.
•A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to
operate the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
•Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the
equipment.
•Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2 GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read and understand the
Operator's Manual and all
safety signs before
operating, maintaining,
adjusting the Yield Shield.
2. Only trained competent persons shall operate the

qualified to operate the machine.
3. Have a first-aid kit
available for use should
the need arise and
know how to use it.
4. Have a fire extinguisher
available for use should
the need arise and know
how to use it.
5. Do not allow riders.
6. Wear appropriate
protective gear. This
list includes but is
not limited to:
•A hard hat
•Protective shoes
with slip resistant
soles
•Protective glasses or goggles
•Heavy gloves
•Hearing protection

2.3 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Review the Operators Manual and all safety items
before working with, maintaining or operating the
Yield Shield.
2. Stop the tractor engine, place all controls in
neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key, wait
for all moving pads to stop before servicing,
adjusting, or repairing.
3. Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system,
make sure all components are tight and that steel
lines, hoses and couplings are not damaged.
4. Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuit before
servicing or disconnecting from tractor.
5. Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away from all
moving and/or rotating parts.
6. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children,
when carrying out any maintenance and repairs or
making any adjustments.
7. Place stands or blocks under the frame before
working beneath the machine.
2.4 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Always place all tractor hydraulic controls in
neutral before dismounting.
2. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic

3. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or
crimped hoses and steel lines.
4. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the
hydraulic lines, fittings or hoses by using tape,
clamps or cements. The hydraulic system
operates under extremely high-pressure. Such
repairs will fail suddenly and create a hazardous
and unsafe condition.
5. Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use
a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop
instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
6. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream
of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention
immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction
can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin
surface.
7. Before applying pressure to hydraulic system
make sure that all connections are tight and that
all hoses and fittings are in good condition.
2.5 SHEAR SAFETY
The operator must obey all safety labels.
1. Keep operators and bystanders away from all
moving parts.

and regulations.
3. Always travel at a safe speed. Use caution when
making corners or meeting traffic.
4. Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle)
emblem and all the lights and reflectors that are
required by the local highway and transport
authorities are in place, are clean and can be seen
clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
Daybreak and dusk are particularly dangerous and
pilot vehicles are recommended.

11
5. Ensure that the trailer is hitched positively to the
towing vehicle. Always use a safety chain between
the trailer and the tractor.
6. Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way to allow
faster traffic to pass. Drive on the road shoulder, if
permitted by law.
7. Always use hazard warning flashers on the Yield
Shield when transporting unless prohibited by law.
