1. Safety
1. Turn OFF and lock out power source.
2. A safe ladder should be used.
3. When setting a ladder against the Stir-Ator, use a vise grip or other type of tie
down in front and back of the track drive unit. This will prevent the Stir-Ator from
rolling or sliding around the bin while service is performed.
4. Because the Stir-Ator is suspended from chains in the center, exercise caution
whenever placing a ladder against the unit. The Stir-Ator can move or swing from
the weight of a person climbing on the ladder.
5. Climbing out on the main frame from either a ladder or roof manhole should NOT
be attempted. The Stir-Ator can swing, causing a fall.
6. During heavy service work, such as removing auger drive, electric motors or
replacing electrical swivel, secure the ladder to the main frame or other
solid component.
7. Use rubber pads or other anti-slip devices to prevent the ladder from slipping on
the bin or silo floor. Slipping could cause a serious accident.
8. DO NOT climb Stir-Ator down augers to make adjustments or repairs. Slipping
could cause falling, bodily injury or both.
9. If an unusual amount of service work is to be performed on a Stir-Ator, consider
removing the augers and lowering the unit onto sawhorses.
10. Exercise caution when using a ladder to perform work in a partially filled grain
bin. The ladder may sink into the grain and cause a fall.
