1. Read and understand the
Operators Manual and all safety
signs before operating,
maintaining, adjusting or
unplugging the Ultra-Vac®.
2. Only trained competent persons

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

2.3 SAFETY AROUND BINS,SILOS, TANKS AND BOOT PITS
Working in and around bins, silos, and tanks and boot pits.
Agri-Vac operators and all other personnel assisting should strictly adhere to the procedures outlined
below before entering a storage structure. For additional details regarding these procedures, reference
OSHA Standards, or your local regulations. (see also Sect 4.10.1)
Entering a bin, silo, tank or other type of storage structure is
hazardous. You can suffocate and die from the materials stored
inside these structures. There also may be explosive, harmful or
poisonous gas or dust in the air.
Before entering a storage structure, a Agri-Vac operator and all other
personnel assisting should strictly adhere to safety procedures as
follows: (adapted from the Kansas Grain and Feed Association’s
Safety, Health and Environment Committee.)
1. The machine operator(s) and all assisting personnel should be aware
of the actions they will take in the event of an emergency.
2. The machine operator(s) and all assisting personnel should be trained in the general and specific
safety hazards associated with their work tasks.
3. The machine operator(s) and all assisting personnel should be trained in the general procedures and
safety practices for entering and working in bins, silos, tanks or other storage structures, as well as the
safety procedures for handling special tasks concerning entering and working in such structures.
4. The atmosphere within a bin, silo, tank or storage structure should be tested for the presence of
combustible gases, dusts, vapors and toxic agents.
5. Ventilation should be provided until the unsafe conditions are eliminated or as long as there is a
possibility of recurrence of the unsafe conditions while the bin, silo, tank or storage structure is
occupied by personnel.
6. Anyone entering the bin, silo, tank, storage structure or boot pit, should wear an appropriate
respirator and protective clothing, as long as there is a possibility of any unsafe atmospheric
condition.
7. When entering bins, silos, tanks or storage structures from the top, personnel should wear a body
harness with lifeline, or use a boatswain’s chair.
8. An observer equipped to provide assistance and trained in rescue procedures, including notification
methods, should be stationed outside the bin, silo, tank or storage structure being entered. Visual,
voice or signal line communications should be constantly maintained between the observer and the
party in the bin, silo, tank or storage structure.
9. Equipment for rescue operations which is specifically suited for the bin, silo, tank or storage structure
being entered should be provided.
10. Do not enter bins, silos, tanks or storage structures under a bridging condition, or where a buildup
of materials could fall and bury you. It is also recommended that you do not walk or stand on grain or
other materials where the depth is greater than waist high.
11. Be aware of the extremely high suction at the intake nozzle. Stay away from nozzle intake area.

2.4 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Follow ALL the operating, maintenance and safety information in the manual.
2. Support the machine with blocks or safety stands when changing tires or working beneath.
3. Follow good shop practices:
a. - Keep service area clean and dry.
b. - Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
c. - Use adequate light for the job at hand.
4. Use only tools, jacks and hoists of sufficient capacity for the job.
5. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, disconnect all electrical power sources, set the park
brake on tractor or towing vehicle , remove the ignition key and wait for al moving parts to stop
before servicing., adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
6. Make sure all guards are in place and properly secured when maintenance work is completed.
7. Before applying pressure to a hydraulic system, make sure all lines, fittings and couplers are in
good condition.
8. Relieve pressure from hydraulic circuit before servicing or disconnecting from tractor.
9. Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts.
10. Place hydraulic controls in neutral and stop the engine before working on Agri-Vacs.
11. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children, when carrying out any maintenance and
repairs or making any adjustments.
2.5 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or kinked hoses or metal lines immediately.
3. Relieve pressure before working on hydraulic system.
4. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all components are tight and that lines,
hoses and couplings are not damaged.
2.6 STORAGE SAFETY
1. Store unit in an area away from human activity.
2. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
3. Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support the base with planks if required.

2.7 TRANSPORT SAFETY
Refer to Section 4.11 TRANSPORTING - Towing (page 43) for detailed
information and regulations.
1. Make sure you are in compliance with all local regulations regarding transporting equipment on
public roads and highways.
2. Make sure that all the lights and reflectors that are required by local highway and transport
authorities are in place, are clean and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
3. Make sure the discharge boom is placed in the transport position and resting in the boom saddle.
4. Attach securely to the towing vehicle using a retainer on the drawbar pin and a safety chain.
5. Do not allow anyone to ride on the Agri-Vac® or towing vehicle during transport.
6. Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
7. Stay away from overhead obstructions and power lines. Electrocution can occur without direct
contact.
8. Always use hazard warning flashers on towing vehicle when transporting unless prohibited by
law.
9. Add extra lights or use pilot vehicles when transporting during times of limited visibility or as
required by local regulations.
Use ANSI/ASAE S279.17 July,2013 as a minimum standard for Lighting and Marking of
Agricultural Equipment on Highways whether towing the Agri-Vac during daytime or nighttime.
2.8 TIRE SAFETY
1. Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an
explosion which may result in serious injury or death.
2. Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job.
3. Have a qualified tire dealer or repair service perform required tire maintenance.
4. Ensure that the tires are kept inflated to the proper pressure.
2.9 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
