1. Safety
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 Rotating Parts
• Do not service equipment while it is in operation.
• Entanglement in rotating parts or exposed belts will cause
serious injury or death.
• Keep all shields and covers in place at all times.
• Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning,
or maintaining equipment.
