2.1 SAFETY ORIENTATION
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Convey-All Commercial Seed
Tender (CST). Be sure that you and anyone else who
will operate, maintain or work around the CST be
familiar with the safety, operating and maintenance
procedures. 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

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, and follows
all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be
prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring
good safety practices.
• CST owners must give operating instructions to
operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the machine.Procedures must be reviewed
annually thereafter per OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Administration) regulation 1928.57.
• The most important safety device on this equipment
is a SAFE operator.It is the operator’s responsibility

2.4 SAFETYTRAINING
• 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
dependentupon the awareness,concern,prudence
and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
this equipment.
• Ithasbeensaid,“Thebestsafetyfeature
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 before
operating, to acquaint yourself with the machine.
If this tender is used by any person other than
yourself, is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner’s responsibility to make certain that the
current/future operators:
- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
- Is instructed in safe and proper use.
• Know your controls. Know how to stop the truck
engine, and tender’s conveyor quickly in an
emergency.
• 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 show also
display the decal.
• All safety decals have a part number in the lower
right hand corner. Use this part number when
ordering replacements.
• Decalsareavailablefromyourauthorizeddistributor,
dealer’s parts department or from Convey-All
Industries Inc.

Operator’s Manual:Commercial Seed Tender (CST-34 Series)
• Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstaclesthatmight behookedor snagged,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 truck hydraulics and
CST until you have read and completely
understand this manual. Read each
of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the tender.
• Personal protective equipment including;
- hard hat
- safety glasses
- safety shoes
- gloves
are recommended during operation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
removal, or moving the implement.
• Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or
jewelry to be around equipment.
• PROLONGED EXPOSURETO 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.

• Donotattemptanymakeshiftrepairstothehydraulic
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.
• 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.
• 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.

spilled electrolyte immediately.
• Wear safety glasses when working near
batteries.
• Do not tip batteries more than 45 degrees, to avoid
electrolyte loss.
• Toavoidinjuryfromsparkorshortcircuit,disconnect
battery ground cable before servicing any part of
electrical system.
