DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
To prevent serious injury or death from
electrocution:
• Be aware of overhead power lines.
•
Keep away from power lines when unloading and
assembling the auger.
• Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
CAUTION
Do not operate the unit before reading and
understanding the Operator Manual.
Keep all safety devices in place.
Keep off the equipment at all times.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from moving
parts while in operation.
Make certain everyone is clear of the equipment
before applying power or moving the machine.
Do not adjust, service, lubricate, clean, unclog or
move the mechanism until all power is shut off.
While in operation, always support the discharge
end or provide adequate anchoring of the intake
end to prevent sudden tipping.
Disconnect power of electrical driven units before
resetting motor overloads.
To avoid tipping, make sure auger is empty before
attempting to move.
Keep wheels of undercarriage level and on firm
ground.
Lower unit to the recommended transport
position before transporting.
IMPORTANT
Do not raise the main auger higher than 35° before
lowering the intake auger or interference between
the intake auger and the intake box will occur.
Never attempt to raise or lower the auger during
operation.
Verify wheels are free to move.
Operate the auger at a 35° angle. Do not exceed
a 42° angle.
Angles above 35°, decreases auger capacity.
Some types of fertilizer may cause accelerated
wear and corrosion as well as added stress on lift
components due to additional load.
Use of fertilizer can affect warranty.
IMPORTANT
Follow the instructions in your tractor’s operation
manual for the correct operating instructions.
