30252 R1 9
• Follow good shop practices:
• keep service area clean and dry
• be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded
• use adequate light for the job at hand
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read through the instructions to get to know the sub-assemblies and hard-
ware that make up the equipment.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Read and understand the assembly instructions for the product before pro-
ceeding to assemble the product.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the auger in case of
accident. Always work with a second trained person around augers.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from intake
during operation.
• Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged. Make
sure it is seated properly in the cable sheaves and that cable clamps are
secure.
• Operate auger on level ground free of debris. If ground is uneven, anchor the
auger to prevent tipping or upending.
• Augers are not insulated. Keep away from electrical lines. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact.
• Support the discharge end and/or anchor the intake end before operating to
prevent upending.
• Do not use auger as a hoist.

30252 R1 11
2.4. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Transport auger in full down position with slight ten-
sion on cable.
• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety
chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.
• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign
before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the
necessary lights for transportation where required
by law. Always use hazard warning flashers on the
tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless
prohibited by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15
mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces
and be cautious when turning corners or meeting
traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make
sure the area around the auger is clear of obstruc-
tions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow any-
one to stand on or beneath auger while
transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or low-
ering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so
will result in serious injury.
• Before moving auger, check for overhead obstructions and/or electrical wires.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens,
do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will dis-
engage the brake mechanism and will create an unsafe condition. Too much
slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly.
• The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound
stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully, and repair winch.
• After lowering auger, turn handle clockwise two clicks to lock winch brake.
• Always keep a minimum of 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.
