• 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.
• Read and understand the assembly instructions for the product before proceeding to assemble the product.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.

2.4. 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.
• Before moving auger, check for overhead obstructions and/or electrical wires.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
2.5. 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
10 30662 R1
length for PTO driveline.
WHEATHEART - GHR & WHR GRAIN AUGERS 2. SAFETY FIRST
GRAIN AUGERS SD 2.6. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
2.6. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Wear proper hand and face protection when searching for hydraulic leaks.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury
like gangrene. In case of accident, see a doctor immediately.
• Fluid leaks in the hydraulic lift cylinders or hoses will allow the auger to lower
inadvertently. Repair all leaks and breaks immediately. Rupture could cause
damage and/or personal injury.
• A hydraulic lift is faster than a conventional hand crank—always clear area of
personnel before raising or lowering.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic couplers when hydraulic system is pressurized.
For the correct procedure, consult this manual or your tractor manual.
• Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic lines.
• Inspect hydraulic fittings and hoses for damage on a daily basis. Repair if
damaged.
• Ensure that the hydraulic line(s) is (are) properly connected and secure.
• Keep hydraulic line(s) away from moving parts.
• Clean connections before connecting to equipment.
2.7. OPERATIONAL 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.
• Inspect lift cable before using auger. Replace if frayed or damaged. Make
sure it is seated properly in the cable sheaves and that 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).

2.8. MAINTENANCE SAFETY GRAIN AUGERS SD
2.8. 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.
