FOLLOW MANUAL & SAFETY DECAL MESSAGES
Carefully read this manual and
all safety decals on your

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.
