SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND AND PRACTICE GOOD SAFETY PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
All farm machinery is inherently dangerous to children and to persons unfamiliar with its general
operation. Children should not be permitted in areas where machinery of this nature is operating.
Since mills contain numerous moving parts, some of which may not always be visible to the
operator, they can be extremely dangerous. Steps should be taken to assure the safety of the
operator, and any other people in the area. Automatic Equipment strongly recommends that no
person be permitted to operate this mill without a thorough understanding of how the machine
works and the precautions to be observed.
If the mill discharges into an auger, be sure the auger is covered and shields are
provided between the mill discharge and the auger.
Because of the dry, highly flammable material associated with this machine,
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE DURING THE
OPERATION OF THIS MACHINE.
The operator of this machine should be a responsible adult who is familiar with
farm machinery, and trained in its operation.
REMEMBER!
Your best insurance
against accidents is a careful and responsible operator. A careless operator is a
liability to himself and those who work with him.
Before operating this equipment, be sure to read and understand this operator’s manual. If there is any
portion of the manual, or any phase of the hammer mill’s operation you do not understand, be sure to
contact your local Automatic dealer or Automatic Equipment, Pender, Nebraska. 402-385-3051.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE OPERATION
1 Keep the mill in good repair. Good maintenance is your responsibility. A poorly
maintained machine is an invitation for trouble. Always use proper tools when servicing your
mill.
2
DO NOT
start, operate, or attempt repair work on the mill until you carefully read and
thoroughly understand this operator’s manual.
