1. Safety
Stay Clear of Rotating Parts
• Do not enter the bin while the equipment is in operation.
• Entanglement in rotating augers will cause serious injury
or death.
• Keep all guards and covers in place at all times.
• Lock-out power source before making adjustments,
cleaning, or maintaining equipment.
Use Unload Equipment Properly
• Do not operate this equipment alone. Make sure someone nearby is aware
of the proper shut down sequence in the event of an emergency.
• Do not allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of drugs to
operate this equipment. All operators must be adequately rested and
prepared to perform all functions of operating the equipment.
• Do not start equipment until all persons are clear of the work area and
safety guards are in place.
• Do not allow anyone inside a bin, truck, or wagon which is being unloaded
by an auger. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Always use caution to not hit the auger when positioning the load.
• Do not leave equipment operating while unattended.
• Be aware of pinch points, which can trap or catch objects and cause injury.
• Be sure all equipment is locked in position before operating.
• Always lock out all power sources to the equipment when unloading is
finished.
Stay Clear of Hoisted Equipment
• Always use proper lifting or hoisting equipment when assembling
or disassembling equipment.
• Do not walk or stand under hoisted equipment.
• Always use sturdy and stable supports when needed for
installation. Not following these safety precautions creates the
risk of falling equipment, which can crush personnel and cause
serious injury or death.
