General Safety Statement
Our principal concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with grain handling
equipment. This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some
problems which may be encountered by the operator and other personnel.
As owner and/or operator, it is your responsibility to know what requirements, hazards and
precautions exist and inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area.
Safety precautions may be required from the personnel.Avoid any alterations to the equip-
ment. Such alterations may produce a very dangerous situation, where serious injury or
death may occur.
You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical
transmission equipment. We recommend you contact your local power company to review
your installation plan or for information concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance
of portable equipment that may be taken to the bin site should be reviewed and considered
as well.Any electrical control equipment in contact with the bin should be properly grounded
and installed in accordance with National Electric Code provisions and other local or national
codes.
This product is intended for the use of grain storage only.Any other use is a misuse of the
product!
This product has sharp edges! These sharp edges may cause serious injury. To
avoid injury, handle sharp edges with caution and use proper protective clothing
and equipment at all times.
Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing
sidewall bundles is laying horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward or over like a dome.
Sidewall sheets stored on edge must be secured in a way that they cannot fall over and
cause injury. Care should be taken in the handling and movement of sidewall bundles.
Personnel operating or working around equipment should read this manual. This manual
must be delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety
