equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
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.
Important: Below are general instructions that apply to all safety practices. Any instructions
specific to a certain safety practice (e.g., Operational Safety), can be found in the
appropriate section. Always read the complete instructional sections and not just
these safety summaries before doing anything with the equipment.
• It is the equipment owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsibility to read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and manuals and follow them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the
equipment. All accidents can be avoided.
• Equipment owners must give instructions and review the information initially
and annually with all personnel before allowing them to operate this product.
Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
• Use this equipment for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way without written permission from the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety, and could affect the life of the equipment. Any unauthorized modification of the equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not allow any unauthorized person in the work area.
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read and understand the instructions to get to know the sub-assemblies and
hardware that make up the equipment before preceding to assemble the
product.
• 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.
• Read and understand assembly instructions before proceeding to assemble
the product.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.

WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS 2. SAFETY
PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL 2.3. TRANSPORT & PLACEMENT SAFETY
2.3. 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.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• 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 3 cable wraps on the winch drum.
• The winch is designed for manual operation only.
2.4. 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 p art s. Stay away from intake
during operation.

2.4. OPERATION SAFETY PTO-SD DRIVE MODEL
• 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).
• Keep the work area clean and tidy.
• Lock winch before operating auger .

Figure 2.1
2.5. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Shut down and lock out all power before attempting maintenance of any kind.
If applicable, disconnect PTO driveline from tractor or hydraulic hoses on
units with hydraulic drive hoppers.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Support auger tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage
assembly. Auger should be in full down position for maintenance.
• Use only genuine WHEATHEART replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement parts such as intake guards, pulley guards, PTO driveline shields,
winches, and lift cables must meet ASABE standards or serious injury may

result. Use of unauthorized parts will void warranty. If in doubt, contact
WHEATHEART or your WHEATHEART dealer.
• Do not modify any auger components without authorization from WHEATHEART. Modification can be dangerous and result in serious injuries.
2.6. PTO SAFETY
• Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order.
• Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating.
• Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applicable).
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Ensure the PTO driveline shields turn freely on the PTO driveline.
• Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed recommended operating
length for PTO driveline.
2.7. SAFETY DECALS
• Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times.
• Replace safety decals that are missing or have become illegible. See decal
location figures that follow.
• Replaced parts must display the same decal(s) as the original part.
• Safety decals are available from your distributor, dealer, or factory.
2.7.1. DECAL INSTALLATION
1. Decal area must be clean and dry, with a temperature above 50°F (10°C).
2. Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
3. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully press the small portion
with the exposed sticky backing in place.
4. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining
portion of the decal in place.
5. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the sign
backing paper.
2.7.2. SAFETY DECAL LOCATIONS
Replicas of the safety decals that are attached to the equipment are shown in the
figure(s) that follow. Proper safety procedures require that you familiarize
yourself with the various safety decals and the areas or particular functions that
the decals apply to, as well as the safety precautions that must be taken to avoid
serious injury, death, or damage.
