ACCIDENTS
CAN BE PREVENTED
WITH YOUR HELP!
No accident-prevention program can be successful without the whole-hearted
cooperation of the person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
A large number of accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating
the result before the accident is caused and doing something about it. No power-driven
equipment, whether it be transportation or processing, whether it be on the highway, in
the harvest field, or in the industrial plant, can be safer than the person who is at the
controls. If accidents are to be prevented--and they can be prevented--it will be done
by the operators who accept the full measure of their responsibility.
It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer can help;
and they will help, but their combined efforts can be wiped out by a single careless act
of the operator.
It is said that, "the best kind of a safety device is a careful operator." We, at
Unverferth Mfg. Co., Inc. ask that you be that kind of operator.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual carefully before operating.
Never enter the grain cart while the auger is running.
Make sure PTO guard is kept in place.
Never allow anyone on the unit while moving through the field.
Be careful when moving unit near electrical lines with discharge auger up.
Never tow a loaded unit more than 8 m.p.h. or on a road.
Never exceed the maximum recommended hitch pin size which allows for
uneven terrain.
Make use of night-time lighting provided on your new cart.
Use caution when unloading on the go, while moving through gullies, wash-
outs, and uneven terrain.
Always check behind you before backing up.
Counter-weight your tractor front end.
Be careful on steep slopes. A loaded grain cart is hard to stop.
Do not fold or unfold auger while moving.
When auger is not in use, be sure to fold to the rest position.
Never unhook a grain cart while it is being loaded.
Turn the tractor power off and remove the key from the ignition before servicing
the attached implement.
Tow only an empty cart on-road and have a rated safety chain attached.
