GHR 80 X 31’-71’ & 100 X 31’-71’ 2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Follow good shop practices:
• keep service area clean and dry
• be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded
• use adequate light for the job at hand
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read through the instructions to get to know the sub-assemblies and hardware that make up the equipment.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Always have 2 or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
2.3. OPERATION SAFETY
• Have another trained person nearby who can shut down the auger in case of
accident. Always work with a second trained person around augers.
• Do not operate with any of the safety guards removed.
• Keep body, hair , and clothing away from moving part s. Stay away from intake
during operation.
• Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged. Make
sure it is seated properly in cable sheaves and cable clamps are secure.
• Operate auger on level ground free of debris. If ground is uneven, anchor the
auger to prevent tipping or upending.
• Augers are not insulated. Keep away from electrical lines. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact.
• Support the discharge end and/or anchor the intake end before operating to
prevent upending.
• Do not use auger as a hoist.
• Empty auger before raising or lowering.
• Lower auger at completion of operation or when not in use. Auger could drop
rapidly in case of cable break or hydraulic failure (where applicable).

• Inspect the drive belts before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged.
• Do not grab or touch drive belts during operation for any reason.
• Remember to ground electric motor before using auger.
2.5. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Transport auger in full down position with
slight tension on cable.
• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach
safety chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will
not allow auger to separate from towing vehicle.
• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle)
sign before transporting auger. Equip the
auger with the necessary lights for transportation where required by law. Always use
hazard warning flashers on the tractor/towing
vehicle when transporting unless prohibited
by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15 mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on
rough surfaces and be cautious when turning
corners or meeting traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger,
make sure the area around the auger is clear
of obstructions and/or untrained personnel.
Never allow anyone to stand on or beneath
auger while transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater
than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or
lowering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually . To do
so will result in serious injury.
• When lowering the auger the track shoe may become stuck; if this happens,
do not continue to turn the winch handle counter-clockwise because it will disengage the brake mechanism and create an unsafe condition. Too much
slack in the cable may also cause the auger to drop suddenly.
• The winch must make a clicking sound when raising auger. If clicking sound
stops, retain grip on handle, lower auger fully and repair winch.
• After lowering auger, turn handle clockwise two clicks to lock winch brake.
• Always keep a minimum of three cable wraps on the winch drum.
• The winch is designed for manual operation only.
