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.
Important: Below are general instructions that apply to all safety practices. Any instructions
specific to a certain safety practice (e.g., Operational 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.
• It is the equipment owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsi-
bility to read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and man-
uals and follow them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the
equipment. All accidents can be avoided.
• Equipment owners must give instructions and review the information initially
and annually 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 without written permission from the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety, and could affect the life of the equipment. Any unauthorized modifica-
tion of the equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not allow any unauthorized person in the work area.
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read and understand the assembly instructions to get to know the sub-
assemblies and hardware that make up the equipment before proceeding to
assemble the product.
• 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 two 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).
• Keep the work area clean and tidy.
• Ensure that winch is locked before operating auger.
• Do not grab or touch drive belts during operation for any reason.

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 PTO driveline shields turn freely on the PTO 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. ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY
• Inspect the drive belts before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged.
• Do not grab or touch drive belts during operation for any reason.
• Remember to ground electric motor before using auger.
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.
