Start-up/Commissioning Form
Effective: September 10, 2020
Version 1
It is the responsibility of the Owner Operator to review and determine compliance to local and federal regulations.
These regulations include, but are not limited to, local and federal laws as well as standards published by the NFPA
(National Fire Protection Agency), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Administration) or OH&S (Occupational Health and Safety Standards), and ANSI (American National
Standards Institute). Please note: It is a requirement in NFPA 652 that the final operator completes a dust hazard
analysis (DHA) of their facility and the products and processes it contains. Based on this, Walinga understands that a
DHA is required to be completed by the owner/operator prior to start-up/commissioning. In the event that a DHA is not
available at start-up/commissioning, the owner/operator must provide written acknowledgement of their responsibility
and intention to complete a DHA. The owner/operator also agrees that they shall be solely responsible for ensuring that
any applicable NFPA standards and regulations shall be satisfied in conjunction with the incorporation of Walinga’s
equipment into the buyer’s specific system of operations.

is not qualified to operate the equipment.
An untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injury or
death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety of the equipment
and affect the life of the machine.

2.3 SAFETY AROUND BINS,SILOS, TANKS AND BOOT PITS
Working in and around bins, silos, and tanks and boot pits.
Ultra-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, Ultra-Vac operators 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 Ultra-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.

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 Ultra-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 Ultra-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.
