Equipment Safely
2. Safety
• 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 shutdown 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.

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 surfaces that is likely to trap
or catch objects and so is a potential safety hazard.
