    1. Safety Safety Guidelines Safety guidelines are general-to-specific safety rules that must be followed at all times. This manual is written to help you understand safe operating procedures and problems that can be encountered by the operator and other personnel when using this equipment. Save these safety guidelines for future reference.

  • Page 6: Cautionary Symbols Definitions

    1. Safety Cautionary Symbols Definitions Cautionary symbols appear in this manual and on product decals. The symbols alert the user of potential safety hazards, prohibited activities and mandatory actions. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols that are defined below. This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation DANGER which, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or death.

  • Page 7: Safety Cautions

    1. Safety Safety Cautions Use Personal Protective Equipment • Use appropriate personal protective equipment: Foot Respiratory Protection Protection Protection Head Fall Hearing Protection Protection Protection Hand Protection • Wear clothing appropriate to the job. • Remove all jewelry. ST-0004-1 • Tie long hair up and back.
  • Page 8 1. Safety Prevent Roof Damage Due to Vacuum Pressure • Roof damage can result from excessive vacuum or internal pressure from fans or other air moving systems. The manufacturer does not warrant this type of roof damage. • Adequate ventilation or “makeup air” devices must be provided for all powered air handling systems.
  • Page 9 1. Safety Rotating Auger Hazard • Keep clear of rotating augers and moving parts. • Do not remove or modify guards or covers. • Lock-out power source before making adjustments, cleaning, or maintaining equipment. • Failure to follow these precautions will result in serious injury or death.
  • Page 10 1. Safety Stay Clear of Hoisted Equipment • Always use proper lifting or hoisting equipment when assembling or disassembling equipment. • Do not walk or stand under hoisted equipment. • Always use sturdy and stable supports when needed for installation. Not following these safety precautions creates the risk of falling equipment, which can crush personnel and cause serious injury or death.
