2.4 SAFETY TRAINING
• Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out
by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.
• Hazard control and accident prevention are
dependentupontheawareness, concern, prudence
and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
this equipment.
• Ithasbeensaid,“Thebestsafetyfeature
isaninformed, carefuloperator.”Weask
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.
Accidents can be avoided.
• Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual before
operating, to acquaint yourself with the machine.
Whether the unit is used by the owner, is loaned or
rented; it is the machine owner’s responsibility to
make certain that all operators:
- Read and understand the operator’s manuals.
- Are instructed in safe and proper use.
• Know your controls and how to stop the engine,
and conveyor belt quickly in an emergency. Read
this manual and the one provided with your power
unit.
• Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only
a properly trained and physically able person will
operate the machinery.
Personnel who have not read this manual are not
qualified to operate the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to
possible serious injury or death.
• Physical limitations of the employees need to be
recognized and accommodated.
2.5 SAFETY DECALS
• Keep signage clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have
become illegible.
• If an original part which contained a safety decal,
has been replaced by a new part; it should also
display the decal.
• All safety decals have a part number in the lower
right hand corner. Use this part number when
ordering replacements.
• Decals are available from your authorized
distributor, dealer’s parts department or from
Convey-All Industries Inc.
2.5.1 How to Install Safety Decals:
1. Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry.
2. Ensure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
3. Determine exact position before you remove the
backing paper.
4. Remove the smallest portion of the split backing
paper.
5. Alignthesignoverthespecifiedareaandcarefully
press the small portion with the exposed sticky
backing in place.
6. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and
carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign
in place.
7. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and
smoothed out using the piece of sign backing
paper.

Operator’s Manual: Bean Tender (BTS)

• Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstaclesthatmightbehookedorsnagged,causing
injury or damage.
• Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Be sure machine is in a stable position, is adjusted
and in good operating condition.
• Ensure that all safety shielding and safety decals
are properly installed and in good condition.
• Before starting, inspect the unit for any loose bolts,
worn parts, cracks, leaks and/or frayed belts. Make
the necessary repairs.
Always follow maintenance instructions.
2.6 WORK PREPARATION
• Never operate the engine and conveyor
until you have read and completely
understand this manual, the power
unit’s Operator’s Manual, and each
of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the power unit and
machine.
• Personal protective equipment including;
- hard hat
- safety glasses
- safety shoes
- gloves
are recommended during operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
or moving the implement.
• Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or
jewelry to be around equipment.
• PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY
CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Agricultural equipment can often be
noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing loss. We recommend
that hearing protection be worn 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
severe 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, etc.)
is cumulative over a lifetime
without hope of natural recovery.

tool. This may cause it to shatter in operation.
• Keep cylinder fins and governor parts free of grass
and other debris which can affect engine speed.
WARNING: Hot Equipment
Do not touch hot muffler, cylinder or fins.
Contact may cause burns.
• DO NOT operate engine with an accumulation of
grass, leaves, dirt or other combustible materials in
the muffler area.
• DO NOT use this engine on any forest covered,
brush covered, or grass covered,
unimprovedland unless asparkarrester
is installed on the muffler. The arrester
must be maintained in effective working
order by the operator.
In the state of California the above
is required by law (section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may have
similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal land.
• DO NOT operate engine without a muffler.
Examine muffler periodically to be sure it is
functioning effectively. A worn or leaking muffler
should be repaired or replaced as necessary.
• DO NOT check for spark or crank engine with spark
plug or spark plug wire removed.
Always do remove the wire from the spark plug
when servicing the engine or equipment to prevent
accidental starting. Disconnect the negative wire

3.1 LOCATION OF COMPONENTS
The Convey-All Bean Tenders are designed as bulk
product transfer units to feed large amounts of seed
or fertilizer into a planter or drill.
Material is loaded into the hopper. A conveyor belt
pivots along the left side of the frame and transfers
the product into planters or drills as appropriate. Slide
gates control the flow onto the conveyor belt.
A gas engine mounted on the pivoting frame powers
the unloading conveyor. A centrifugal clutch on the
engine output shaft engages when the engine speed
reaches 1400 RPM. A belt drive system transmits
power from the engine to the conveyor.
The conveyor and drive is mounted on a pivoting
platform that allows for swivelling along the left side
of the frame.
