Operator’s Manual: CST-1550
• Clear working area of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
• Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Be sure machine is in a stable position, is
adjusted and in good operating condition.
• Ensure that all safety guards and safety decals
are properly installed and in good condition.
• Before starting, inspect the unit for any loose
bolts, worn parts, cracks, leaks and/or frayed
belts. Make the necessary repairs.
Always follow maintenance instructions.
2.7 PLACEMENT SAFETY
• Stay away from overhead power lines
when operating or moving the tender.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• Store rear conveyor long passenger-side of
tender when moving. Swing the conveyor
towards the back only when ready to unload.
• Position tender providing enough space for
truck to load and unload.
• Operate tender on level ground free of debris.
2.8 LOCK-OUT TAG-OUT SAFETY
• Establish a formal Lock-Out, Tag-Out program
for your operation.
• Train all operators and service personnel
before allowing them to work around the area.
• Provide tags on the machine and a sign-up
sheet to record tag out details.
2.6 WORK PREPARATION
• Never operate the engine and CST until you
have read this manual, and understand the
information.
Also, read the engine operator’s manual.
• Be familiar with the safety messages found on
the decal around the unit.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE)
including:
- Hard hat
- Eye protection
- Protective shoes
- Work gloves
They are recommended during
operation, maintenance or when
transporting the tender.
• Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or
jewelry to be around equipment.
• PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Agricultural equipment can often be
noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing loss. We recommend
that hearing protection be worn on
a full-time basis if the noise in the
operator’s position exceeds 80db.
Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can
cause severe hearing loss.
Noise over 90db adjacent to the operator over
a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss.
Note:
Hearing loss from loud noise
(tractors, chain saws, radios, etc.)
is cumulative over a lifetime
without hope of natural recovery.
