    2. S AFETY ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS MKX130-84/94/114 Figure 2.1 2.4. 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 applica- ble).

  • Page 21: Hydraulic Safety

    2. S ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS AFETY MKX130-84/94/114 • Do not exceed operating speed of 540 rpm. • Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed recommended operating length for PTO driveline. 2.5. 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.

    6. O ESTFIELD RAIN UGERS PERATION MKX130-84/94/114 • If grain overflows through safety discharge door, then the auger is loaded beyond its capacity; reduce volume of feed going into intake hopper. Remem- ber, auger capacity will decrease as the auger’s angle increases. USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the large capacity of some augers.
