SAFETY TRAINING & SAFETY SIGNS

SAFETY TRAINING

1. Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our effort to provide safe
equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best safety feature is an informed, careful operator." We ask you to be
that kind of operator. It is the operator's responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety
and Operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual and the manual for your
auxiliary equipment, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used
by any person other than yourself, it is the machine owner's responsibility to make certain that the operator, prior to
operating:
a) Reads and understands the operator's manuals.
b) Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5. Know your controls and how to stop the auger, conveyors and any other auxiliary equipment quickly in an
emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your other equipment.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. Be certain only a properly trained
and physically able person will operate the machinery. 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 and death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their physical limitations
need to be recognized and accommodated.

SAFETY SIGNS

1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that previously displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs are available from your authorized Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory.
