1. Safety
Keep Hands Away from Moving Parts
DO NOT put hand or arm in hopper. Rotating auger can crush and dismember.
DO NOT put any kind of tool inside hopper to try and clear debris while the auger is running. Damage to the equipment will result.
ALWAYS turn off and lock out all power sources before servicing equipment.
Keep all shields and covers in place during operation.
Rotating Auger
Operate Motor Properly
To avoid serious injury or death, stay away from unit and make sure everyone is clear of the equipment before starting or operating the unit.
All electrical connections should be made in accordance with the National Electric Code. Be sure equipment and bins are properly grounded.
Do not operate electric motor equipped units until motors are properly grounded.
Disconnect power on electrical driven units before resetting motor overloads.
Do not repetitively stop and start the drive in order to free a plugged condition. Jogging the drive in this manner can damage the equipment and/or drive components.
Electric Shock Hazard
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if fire starts. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy. Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service,
hospital and fire department near your telephone.
Keep Emergency Equipment Quickly Accessible

1. 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Operate Unload Equipment Safely
Operator Qualifications
A. The User/Operator must be competent and experienced to operate this (or auger) equipment.
Anyone who works with or around augers must have good common sense in order to be qualified. These persons must also know and meet all other qualifications, such as:
i. Any person who has not read and/or does not understand all operation and safety procedures
is not qualified to operate any auger systems.
ii. Certain regulations apply to personnel operating power machinery. Personnel under the age
of 18 years may not operate power machinery, including augers. It is your responsibility, as
owner and/or supervisor, to know what these regulations are in your area or situation. iii. Unqualified or incompetent persons are to remain out of the work area. iv. O.S.H.A. (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations state: “At the time of
initial assignment and at least annually thereafter, the employer shall instruct every employee
in the safe operation and servicing of all equipment with which the employee is, or will be
involved”. (Federal Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Agriculture. Subpart D,
Section 1928.57 (a) (6)).
