FOLLOW MANUAL & SAFETY DECAL MESSAGES
Carefully read this manual and
all safety decals on your
equipment. Safety decals must
be kept in good condition. Replace
missing or damaged safety decals
by contacting Sukup
Manufacturing Co. via mail at PO
Box 677, Sheffield, Iowa USA, 50475; by phone at
641-892-4222; or by e-mail at [email protected].
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to know
what specific requirements, precautions, and work
hazards exist. It is also the responsibility of the
owner/operator to inform anyone operating or
working in the area of this equipment of hazards and
safety precautions that need to be taken to avoid
personal injury or death. Always keep children away
from bins and vehicles with flowing grain.
Make no unauthorized modifications to machine.
Modifications may endanger function and/or safety of
unit. Keep unit in good working condition. Keep shields
in place. Replace worn or missing shields free of
charge by contacting Sukup Manufacturing Co.
GRAIN BIN SAFETY
Owners/operators are responsible for developing
site-specific confined space entry procedures.
OSHA’s confined space entry procedures (29CFR
1910.146) can be found at www.osha.gov.
If you must enter bin for repair or maintenance:
 Use a safety harness, safety line and respirator
 Station another person outside of bin
 Avoid the center of the bin
 Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
 Keep clear of all augers and moving parts
DANGER: Never enter bin unless all power
is locked out and another person is present.
Rotating augers
can kill or
dismember!
NEVER enter bin when augers are running!
When bin is nearly empty, sweep auger will travel at an
increasingly fast speed. Keep away from sweep and
sump augers to avoid entanglement.
Failure to follow precautions above will result in death
or serious injury.
DANGER: Flowing grain
may trap and suffocate. If
you enter a bin of flowing grain you
can be completely submerged in
grain in about 8 seconds.
Failure to heed this warning will
result in death or serious injury.
Read manual before installing or using product. Failure to follow instructions and safety precautions in
manual can result in death or serious injury. Keep manual in a safe location for future reference.

Refer to OSHA 1910.132
(Personal Prot. Equip.)
To avoid electric shock or electrocution, all
equipment must be properly wired and grounded
according to electrical codes. Have unit wired by
qualified electrician.
Have an electrician install a main power disconnect
switch capable of being locked only in OFF position.
Mark disconnect
clearly as to
equipment it
operates.
Always lock out
main power
disconnect switch
whenever
equipment is not
in use.
WARNING: When servicing equipment, never
enter bin unless all power is locked out and
another person is present. Always LOCK OUT
all power and always check with voltage meter before
servicing.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
Owners/operators are responsible for developing
site-specific Lockout/Tagout procedures based on
equipment at their work site. See OSHA’s typical
minimal lockout procedures (29CFR 1910.147 App A)
at www.osha.gov.
WARNING: KEEP CLEAR OF ALL MOVING
PARTS.
Keep people (ESPECIALLY YOUTH) away from
equipment, particularly during operation.
Keep away from all moving parts.
Keep all shields in place. SHUT
OFF AND LOCK OUT all power
before servicing.
Failure to follow precautions above
could result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING: Metal is slippery when wet. To
avoid falls, never carry items if climbing on
bin. Maintain secure hand and foothold if climbing on
bin. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION: Metal edges are sharp. To avoid
injury, wear protective clothing and handle
equipment and parts with care.
Failure to do so may result in minor or moderate injury.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Owners/Operators are
responsible for developing
site-specific personal
protective equipment
standards. OSHA’s
personal protective
equipment standards
(29CFR 1910.132) can be
found at www.osha.gov.

Do not enter a grain bin if grain has bridged or stopped flowing normally. Grain can collapse without
warning and can trap, bury and cause suffocation. See Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 – Obstructed-flow, bridged grain, collapsed bridge of grain in bin
Basic safety rules
1. Be certain that all covers, grates and guards are in place and securely fastened.
2. Never step or walk on conveyor covers, grates or guards.
3. Lock out all power before removing covers, grates or guards. Before working on any part of
conveyor, secure all chains and belts to prevent movement.
4. Do not modify or redesign conveyor without first obtaining written approval from Sukup
Manufacturing Co. Unauthorized modifications to components may impair function and/or
safety and affect machine life.
FOLLOW A PROPER LOCKOUT PROCEDURE
This suggested procedure must be performed EVERY TIME conveyor is to be
worked on. Following these steps will assist in preventing accidents.
Each worker must have his/her own lock and the only key to that lock.
Make sure conveyor is not operating before turning off power.
Notify all affected employees that conveyor will be locked out for service.
Authorized employee shall refer to the facility procedure referencing the power source for the
conveyor.
Shut down conveyor in a normal manner.
All energy sources that could activate conveyor must be deactivated.
Each person who will be working on conveyor must put a lock on each energy source that could
provide any power to conveyor.
Confirm that power has been deactivated by trying to re-start conveyor.
Turn all controls for conveyor to “Off” position.
NO ONE is to return power to conveyor until all work on it has been completed and all locks have been
removed.
Facility management needs to proactively train employees to ensure use of proper lockout procedures
while working on conveyor. Management also needs to inspect unit for any covers or guards not in their
proper place. It is everyone’s responsibility to report any missing grates, guards, equipment failures or
failures of others to lock out.
SAFETY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
Please contact Sukup Manufacturing Co. with any specific safety concerns about conveyor or its use.

Electrical Wire Clearances
Your local electric utility may be able to provide assistance in planning a safe environment for working
around grain bins. State codes may vary regarding specific clearances for electrical lines around grain
bins. Be certain your local electric utility is in accordance with your state's regulations. To prevent
overhead safety issues, bury electrical lines.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) provides clearance envelopes, shown in Fig. 2, for grain
bins filled by permanently installed augers, conveyors or elevators in (ANSI) C2 2007 "National Electrical
Safety Code," Rule 234, page 120.
NOTE: An electric utility may refuse to provide electrical service to any grain bin built near an existing
electric line that does not provide clearance required by ANSI and the National Electrical Safety Code.

Pre-Installation Information
A drag conveyor is not meant to be a self-supporting structure or part of a truss system.
Conveyor must be supported every 10’ (at every connection). Owner and/or contractor are responsible
for providing adequate support for conveyor. Drawings in Figs. 20 and 21 show typical installations.
Do not weld supports to conveyor. Overhead clearance and maintenance accessibility should be
considered.
Conveyor has not been designed to support other equipment such as cleaners, distributors, spouting,
etc. Separate structures must be provided to support any accessory equipment.
Sukup Manufacturing Co. has supplied conveyor and certain optional accessories, but does not
assume responsibility for installation.
Installation recommendations in this manual are general guidelines only. User and/or installer are
responsible for consulting a civil or structural engineer regarding installation, including but not limited to
construction, supervision, foundation and bracing.
IMPORTANT: Retain a licensed engineer to plan installation and a qualified millwright or contractor to
erect conveyor and accompanying equipment and structures.
