EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES:
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach
to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions
in this section/ To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you,
or for you, follow them.
• In order to provide a better view certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly
with safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition.
Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

SAFETY TRAINING BE-MX320G
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our eorts to
provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator”. We ask you to be that kind of an
operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in
the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual and the manual for your
tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines.
It is the 3PT mixer owner’s
responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain
that the operator, prior to operating:
1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor engine and mixer quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and
the one provided with your tractor.
Train all personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who 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 allow children to operate this machine.

PREPARATION BE-MX320G
Never operate the tractor and implement until you have read and completely understand this manual, the
Tractor Operator’s Manual and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor
and implement.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without implement can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss.
We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position
exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause sever hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent
to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
Note: Hearing loss from loud noise (tractors, chain saws, radios and other such sources close to the ear)
is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
Operate the implement only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS).
Always wear your seatbelt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could result from
falling o the tractor -- particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or
the tractor.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Ensure implement is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin or balls operate freely and are seated firmly in Tractor PTO
stub shaft groove.
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
Check that PTO driveline does not contact the swinging draw bar may have to be removed on some tractors.
Damage to driveline could make it unsafe to operate.

STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY BE-MX320G
Be certain the tractor is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Do not leave the tractor or the implement unattended with the engine running.
3PT. Mixer operating power is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO
engagement and disengagement instructions. Always operate the PTO in the 540 RPM range.
Know how to stop tractor and mixer quickly in case of an emergency.
Mixer should be lifted o the ground before engaging PTO and be sure that no one is near the machine.
When engaging PTO, the RPM should always be low.
Never engage PTO drive with the mixer in the dump position. Engaging PTO with mixer in dump position can
cause damage to the PTO driveline. This damage could cause the driveline to come apart causing possible
injury or death.
When raising the mixer with the 3 Point Hitch, check that the PTO driveline does not go into sharp angles
(more than 15°).
Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut o the engine, remove the ignition key and lower the implement to
the ground before dismounting. Never leave the equipment unattended with the tractor running.
Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good working condition and
fastened securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or missing. (You may have to
use a tractor salvage yard for replacement parts on older tractors).
Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended: disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine
and remove key from ignition. Park in level area.

when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.
Always drive down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Slow down on sharp turns
and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control. Avoid slopes when surface is wet, slippery grass or soil.
Never attempt to check or adjust chain tension while implement is operating. Always stop it before
this operation.
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated int he Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose
fasteners, worn or broken parts and worn PTO driveline joints and/or shields. Make sure all pins have cotter
pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintain this machine in good working order.

TRANSPORT SAFETY BE-MX320G
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. however, some localities prohibit their use.
Locals laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 MPH (32KPH) at night or during
the day, use flashing amber lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of
steering control.
Plan your route to avoid heavy trac.
Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting.
Do not drink and drive!
Watch for trac when operating near or crossing roadways.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at
least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces and loose gravel.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground
and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Never allow riders on either tractor or implement. Falling o can kill.
Be a safe courteous driver always yield to oncoming trac in all situations, including narrow bridges,
intersections, etc.
Do not exceed 20 MPH (32 KPH). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
Always disengage PTO before driving the tractor to transport the implement from one place to another.
