ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
To prevent serious injury or death from electrocution:
• Be aware of overhead power lines.
• Keep away from power lines when transporting or
raising auger.
• Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• 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.
• 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.
