General Safety Statement

Our foremost concern is your safety and the safety of others associated with grain handling equipment. This manual is to help you understand safe operating procedures and some problems which may be encountered by the operator and other personnel.

As owner and/or operator, you are responsible to know what requirements, hazards and precautions exist and inform all personnel associated with the equipment or in the area. Safety precautions may be required from the personnel. Avoid any alterations to the equipment, which may produce a very dangerous situation, where SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH may occur.

You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical transmission equipment. Contact your local power company to review your installation plan or for information concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of portable equipment that may be taken to the bin site should also be reviewed and considered. Any electrical control equipment in contact with the bin should be properly grounded and installed in accordance with National Electric Code provisions and other local or national codes.

This product is intended for the use of grain storage only. Any other use is a misuse of the product.

Sidewall bundles or sheets must be stored in a safe manner. The safest method of storing sidewall bundles is laying horizontally with the arch of the sheet upward, like a dome. Sidewall sheets stored on edge must be secured so that they cannot fall over and cause injury. Use care when handling and moving sidewall bundles.

Personnel operating or working around equipment should read this manual. This manual must be delivered with equipment to its owner. Failure to read this manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the equipment.
