1. Introduction

Receiving Merchandise and Filing Claims
When receiving merchandise, it is important to check both the quantity of parts and their d escription with the packing list enclosed within each package. All claims for freight damage or shortage must be made by the consignee within ten (10) days from the date of the occurrence of freight damage. The consignee should accept the shipment after noting the damage or loss.
Operating Capacities
The results of capacity can alter greatly under varying conditions. Moisture content, different commodities, amount of foreign matter and speeds all play a part in the performance of the auger. 25% Moisture may cut capacity by as much as 40% under some conditions.
Improvements
It is the plan of GSI Group to improve its products whenever possible and practical to do so. We reserve the right to change, improve and modify products at any time without obligation to make changes, improvements and modifications on equipment sold previously.

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.
