2.1. GENERAL SAFETY
Important: The general safety section includes instructions that apply to all safety practices.
Any instructions specific to a certain safety practice (e.g., assembly safety), can
be found in the appropriate section. Always read the complete instructional
sections and not just these safety summaries before doing anything with the
equipment.
YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your equipment.
YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to work around the
equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
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.
• It is the equipment owner and the operator's responsibility to read and under-
stand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow them
before assembling, operating, or maintaining the equipment. All accidents
can be avoided.
• Equipment owners must give instructions and review the information initially
and anually with all personnel before allowing them to operate this product.
Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
• Use this equipment for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may
impair the function and/or safety, and could affect the life of the equipment.
Any modification to the equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not allow children, spectators, or bystanders within the work area.
• Have a first-aid kit available for use should the need arise, and know how to
use it.
• Provide a fire extinguisher for use in case of an accident. Store in a highly vis-
ible place.
• Wear appropriate protective gear. This list includes, but
is not limited to:
• a hard hat
•gloves
• protective shoes with slip-resistant soles
• protective goggles
• hearing protection
• For Powered Equipment: before servicing, adjusting, or repairing powered
equipment, unplug, place all controls in neutral or off position, stop the engine
or motor, remove ignition key or lock out power source, and wait for all mov-
ing parts to stop.

• Follow good shop practices:
• keep service area clean and dry
• be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded
• use adequate light for the job at hand
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read through the instructions to get to know the sub-assemblies and hard-
ware that make up the equipment.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Always have 2 or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the auger in case of
accident. Always work with a second trained person around augers.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Stay away from intake
during operation.
• Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged. Make
sure it is seated properly in cable sheaves and cable clamps are secure.
• Operate auger on level ground free of debris. If ground is uneven, anchor the
auger to prevent tipping or upending.
• Augers are not insulated. Keep away from electrical lines. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact.
• Support the discharge end and/or anchor the intake end before operating to
prevent upending.
• Do not use auger as a hoist.
• Empty auger before raising or lowering.
• Lower auger at completion of operation or when not in use. Auger could drop
rapidly in case of cable break or hydraulic failure (where applicable).
• Do not get on or beneath auger when raising or lowering intake hitch jack, or
when auger is supported by hitch jack.
• Do not operate auger with the service or cleanout doors open or unlatched.

2.4. PTO SAFETY
• Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order.
• Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating.
• Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applica-
ble).
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Ensure the driveline shields turn freely on driveline.

• Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed recommended operating
length for PTO driveline.
2.5. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Wear proper hand and face protection when searching for hydraulic leaks.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury
like gangrene. In case of accident, see a doctor immediately.
• Fluid leaks in the hydraulic lift cylinders or hoses will allow the auger to lower
inadvertently. Repair all leaks and breaks immediately. Rupture could cause
damage and/or personal injury.
• A hydraulic lift is faster than a conventional hand crank—always clear area of
personnel before raising or lowering.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic couplers when hydraulic system is pressurized.
For the correct procedure, consult this manual or your tractor manual.
• Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic lines.
• Inspect hydraulic fittings and hoses for damage on a daily basis. Repair if
damaged.
• Ensure that the hydraulic line is properly connected and secure.
• Keep hydraulic line away from moving parts.
• Clean connections before connecting to equipment.

2.6. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Transport auger in full down position with slight ten-
sion on cable.
• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety
chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.
• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign
before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the
necessary lights for transportation where required
by law. Always use hazard warning flashers on the
tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless
prohibited by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15
mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces
and be cautious when turning corners or meeting
traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make
sure the area around the auger is clear of obstruc-
tions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow any-
one to stand on or beneath auger while
transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or low-
ering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so
will result in serious injury.
• Before moving auger, check and double check for overhead obstructions and/
or electrical wires. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• Raise intake feed hopper into transport position and lock hopper lift winch
before transporting or moving auger. Intake feed side of hopper must face
main auger when in transport position.
• Do not operate auger with intake hopper in transport position. This will cause
damage to the u-joint.
2.7. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Shut down and lock out all power before attempting maintenance of any kind.
If applicable, disconnect PTO driveline from tractor or hydraulic hoses on
units with hydraulic drive hoppers.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Support auger tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage
assembly. Auger should be in full down position for maintenance.
