Operator’s Responsibility
CAUTION:
Operator’s Responsibility:
Most accidents are caused because of neglect or
carelessness. Avoid needless accidents by following all
of the safety precautions listed below.
The user is responsible for inspecting the cart before each use and for having necessary repairs done
to prevent further damage to the cart or possible safety hazards.
It is the responsibility of the user to read the owner’s manual and understand the safe and correct
operating procedures for the owner’s cart.
The operator of this cart must read and understand the material contained in this manual.
The cart should be operated by those responsible and authorized by the owner to do so.
Only a qualified operator should be permitted on the tractor when cart is in operation. No riders
should be allowed on the cart.
Make certain everyone is clear before folding or unfolding the auger.
Never allow anyone inside the hopper for any reason while tractor is running or when hopper
contains grain.
The tongue jack is designed to support an unloaded cart. DO NOT use jack to support a
loaded cart. When jacking up a cart, use caution to make sure all wheels are blocked.
Inspection of the jack and related parts should be done frequently to detect any possible
damages that could cause the jack or related parts to fail. The main cause of jack failure is the
operator moving the cart with the jack still down. If this happens the jack may be unsafe to use.
Replace or repair as needed. It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure the jack and
related parts are in a safe working order.
Do not transport cart on a public road unless the auger is in the transport position (folded back
into the saddle). Also, ensure that the slow moving vehicle decal is in place during daylight and
with approved warning lights at night and other periods of poor visibility.
Carefully maintain control of the grain cart when traveling on roads. Avoid speeds over 8 MPH
when loaded.
Stop the tractor engine before doing any maintenance or repairs to the cart.
Use caution when working with the hydraulic system. Hydraulic fluid can be under extreme
pressure and can cause infection or other serious personal injury.
Make sure all guards are kept in place.
Avoid using near electrical lines with the auger extended. Serious injury or death can result
from contact with electrical lines. USE EXTREME CARE!
Make sure your tractor front end is adequately counter weighted.
Use caution when crossing ditches, levees, etc., or when using on uneven terrain.
Never allow anyone to play inside or around the grain cart. GRAIN CAN SUFFOCATE!
