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