Safety - 1266, 1272, 1276 & 1282 Conventional Auger
Safe Operation Instructions
There are several decals on the grain auger and its attachments with safety instructions.
Read and understand these safety alerts before operating.
The shielding has been removed in some of the illustrations for parts demonstration only.
Install all shields before operating the unit.
DANGER
The operator must stop raising the auger before the extending
member is fully extended. Continued lift will cause failure of the
winch, lift cable or auger supports, causing the auger to collapse
which can result in physical damage, personal injury or death.
DANGER
Always disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the tractor after the
auger is raised or lowered to the desired position. Inadvertent
movement of the hydraulic valve on the tractor may cause
damage or personal injury.
DANGER
Winch must be aligned with cable so that the cable does not
stack on one side of the drum. Do not allow the cable to become
slack on winch drum. The cable may recoil and slip over the side
of the drum. In either case, the cable will wind on drum spindle
and cause winch or cable to fail, allowing auger to drop, which
may cause physical damage to the auger or personal injury.
DANGER
Never check for hydraulic leaks using any parts of the human
body as oil injection can occur, causing serious injury.
