The consignee should accept the shipment after noting the damage or loss.
Capacity
1. The capacities may vary greatly under varying conditions. The following factors play a role in the performance of the auger:
• Speed • Amounts of foreign matter
• Angle of operation • Different materials
• Moisture content • Methods of feeding
2. For example, a twenty-five percent (25%) moisture could cut capacity by as much as 40% under some conditions.

2. Safety
Operate Unload Equipment Properly
• Untrained operators subject themselves and others to SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. NEVER allow untrained personnel to operate this equipment.
• NEVER work alone.
• Keep children and other unqualified personnel out of the working area at ALL times. Refer to the Start-Up section of this manual for diagrams of the work area.
• Make sure ALL equipment is locked in position before operating.
• NEVER start equipment until ALL persons are clear of the work area.
• Keep hands and feet away from the auger intake and other moving parts.
• NEVER attempt to assist machinery operation or to remove trash from equipment while in operation.
• Be sure all operators are adequately rested and prepared to perform all functions of operating this equipment.
• NEVER allow any person intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs to operate the equipment.
• Make sure someone is nearby who is aware of the proper shut down sequence in the event of an accident or emergency.
• ALWAYS think before acting. NEVER act impulsively around the equipment.
• NEVER allow anyone inside a bin, truck or wagon which is being unloaded by an auger or conveyor. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate in seconds.
• Use ample overhead lighting after sunset to light the work area.
• Keep area around intake free of obstacles such as electrical cords, blocks, etc., that might trip workers.
• NEVER drive, stand or walk under the equipment.
• Use caution not to hit the auger when positioning the load.
• ALWAYS lock out ALL power to the equipment when finished unloading a bin.
• Be aware of pinch points. A pinch point is a narrow area between two surf aces that is likely to trap or catch objects and so is a potential safety hazard.

3. Safety Decals
A. DANGER Sign No. DC-1395 was supplied with your bin unloading equipment. This safety sign
should be applied to the side of the bin near the bin opening, so it will be viewed by people entering into the bin storage building. Do not cover any safety signs or any other signs that are already there.
B. If the safety sign location suggested is not in full view because of equipment modifications, other
equipment in the area or any reason, then locate the safety sign in a more suitable location.
C. Be certain the surface is clean, dry and free of dirt and oil. Peel paper backing from decals and stick
into place. The adhesive backing will bond on contact.
NOTE: Please remember, safety signs provide important safety information for people working near bin
unloading equipment that is in operation.
NOTE: If the Safety Sign cannot be easily read for any reason or has been painted over, replace it
immediately. Additional Safety Signs may be obtained free of charge from your dealer, distributor or ordered from the factory.
