Use care when moving or operating Speed Tender near electric lines as serious injury or death can result from contact.
9.
Never adjust, service, clean, or lubricate Speed Tender until all power is shut o and the battery is disconnected. Keep all safety shields
10.
in place.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Do not operate engine in closed or conned work area.
11.
Explosive fuel can cause res and severe burns. Stop engine before lling fuel tank.
12.
Hot parts can cause severe burns. Do not touch engine while operating or just after stopping.
13.
Hydraulic oil leaking under pressure can penetrate skin and cause infection or other injury.
14.
To prevent personal injury when working with hydraulic power unit:
15.
a. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting uid lines.
b. Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and components are in good condition.
c. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
Make sure that everyone is clear of equipment before applying power or moving the Speed Tender.
16.
Before lling the Speed Tender, make certain that no one is inside the grain tanks. Never allow children or anyone in, near, or on the
17.
Speed Tender during transport or during loading and unloading of grain. Be aware that moving grain is dangerous and can cause
entrapment, resulting in severe injury or death by suocation.
Before unhooking the Speed Tender from the transport vehicle, be sure to properly block the wheels to prevent the Speed Tender from
18.

but not too long to touch the ground.
NOTE: Check to make sure that lights are in proper operating condition and repair or
replace if necessary.
8. Connect the brake breakaway cable to towing vehicle.
9. Attach safety chains to tow vehicle by crossing chains (Figure 1.1). Allow enough slack in chains necessary for turning.
