SAFETY
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump. YOU
must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to operate,
maintain or work around the Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump be
familiar with the operating and maintenance procedures and
related SAFETY information contained in this manual. This
manual will take you step-by-step through your working day and
alerts you to all good safety practices that should be adhered to
while operating this equipment.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people around you.
Make these practices a working part of your safety program. Be
certain that EVERYONE operating this equipment is familiar
with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures
and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be
prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety
practices.
Pump owners must give operating instructions to
operators or employees before allowing them to operate the
Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump and at least annually
thereafter per OSHA regulation 1928.57.
Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump owners must
follow safety practices as recommended by the Agriculture
Safety Associations across Canada .
The most important safety device on this equipment is a
SAFE operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read and
understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the manual
and to follow these. All accidents can be avoided.
A person who has not read and understood all operating
and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An
untrained operator exposes themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification may impair the function and/or safety and could
affect the life of the equipment.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.01 GENERAL SAFETY
1. Read and understand the Operator's Manual and
safety signs before operating, maintaining, adjusting
or unplugging the manure pump.
2. Have a first aid kit available for use should the
need arise and know how to use it.
3. Have a fire extinguisher available for use should
the need arise and know how to use it.
4. Install and properly secure all shields and guards before
operating.
5. Do no t allow riders on the machine or tractor.
6. Stop tractor engine, disengage PTO clutch, set park brake,
remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
7. Never enter manure storage facility without appropriate
respiratory equipment and an independent oxygen supply.
8. Review safet y related items with all operators annually

2.02 OPERATING SAFETY
1. Read and understand the Operator's Manual and all safety
signs before operating, servicing, adjusting or unplugging.
2. Do not allow riders on the Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon
Pump or the tractor during operation, transport or filling.
3. Do not operate a PTO driven system unless the required
shields are in place and secured.
4. Never wear loose fitting clothing, keep hands, feet, hair and
clothing away from all moving and/or rotating parts, while
working with machinery, use personal protective clothing and
eye and ear protection as needed.
5. Stop tractor engine, disengage PTO clutch, set park brake,
remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
6. Before appl ying hydraulic pressure to the s ystem, make sure
everyone is clear and that all connections are tight and all
components are in good repair.
7. Never enter manure tank or manure storage facility without
wearing appropriate breathing gear that carries an independent
supply of oxygen.
2.03 MAINTENANCE
SAFETY
1. Read and understand all the information contained in the
Operator's Manual regarding maintenance, adjusting and
operating Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump.
2. Block the frame up securely and firmly if adjustments and
maintenance to the Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump require raising
the wheel and tire assemblies off the ground.
3. Exercise extreme caution when working around or with
high-pressure hydraulic systems. Depressurize the system when
connecting or disconnecting the hose couplers.
4. Wear heavy gloves and eye protection when searching for
suspected hydraulic leaks. A high- pressure concentrated stream
of hydraulic fluid can pierce the skin. If such an event happens,
seek immediate medical attention as infection and toxic reaction
could develop.
5. Do not attempt any adjustment or maintenance to any system
of the Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump when the implement
is in motion.
6. Be very careful and exercise extreme caution when working
around or near a rotating PTO shaft.
8. Always use a tractor of sufficient size and weight to maintain
vehicle stability during transport and during use.
9. Clean or install reflectors and SMV emblem before
transporting and add extra lights for transporting during times of
limited visibility.
10. Make sure parking brake on the tractor is set and block
wheels so it cannot roll.
11. Make sure the PTO is not run on too great an angle it will
cause vibration and could shear a pin in the PTO or it could cause
the PTO to break and increase the danger of injury.
12. Review all safety instructions annually.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
7. Do not operate PTO system unless the rotating shield and all
other guards are in place.
8. Never wear ill-fitting, baggy or frayed clothing and never
have unkempt long hair when working around or on any of the
drive system components.
9. Stop the engine, place all controls in neutral, remove the
ignition key, set the park brake and wait for all moving parts to
stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing or unplugging any
system or component.
10. Never enter tank or manure storage facilit y without wearing
appropriate breathing gear that carries an independent supply of
oxygen. The buddy system is also a recommended procedure.

2.04 HYDRAULIC SAFETY
1. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are
kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Replace any worn, cut, abraded, flattened or crimped hoses
and metal lines.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines,
fittings or hoses by using tape, clamps or cements. The hydraulic
system operates under extremely high-pressure; 1600 to 2300
pounds per square inch. Such repairs will fail suddenly and create
a hazardous and unsafe condition.
4. Wear proper hand and eye protection
when searching for a high-pressure
hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood or
cardboard as a backstop instead of hands
to isolate and identify a leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of
hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid
piercing the skin surface.
2.05 TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Make sure you are in compliance with all local regulations
regarding transporting agricultural equipment on public roads and
highways. Consult your local law enforcement agency for
further information.
2. Ensure that the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem and
all reflectors and lights required by the local highways and
transport authorities are in place and are clean and visible by
overtaking and oncoming traffic.
3. Ensure that the Husky Liquid Manure Lagoon Pump is
hitched positively and safely to the tractor drawbar. Use proper
safety chain to secure a safe hitch hookup wh en transpo rting.
4. Transport according to local regulations covering maximum
width, weight and length.
5. Do not exceed speed limits. Reduce speed on rough roads
and surfaces.
6. Al wa ys use a tractor of sufficient size and weight to maintain
vehicle stability during transport.
6. Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all
components are tight and that lines, hoses and couplings are not
damaged and kept in good repair.
7. Make sure all hydraulic hoses are not snagged on anything
7. Always use hazard warning flashers on tractor when
transporting unless prohibited by law.
Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
