SAFETY
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When the mixer / feeder is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause
severe injury or death to persons coming in contact with these parts. To help avoid serious
accidents, the following guidelines should always be followed.
1. BE SURE ALL SAFETY SHIELDS are in place before operating, including driveline shields.
2.
NEVER PUT HANDS, ARMS, OR FEET INSIDE MIXER/FEEDER, or discharge chute opening, nor
climb on or in the mixer / feeder while it is running. NEVER allow anyone to position them-
selves over or near the top of the mixer/feeder while it is running. Rotating auger and moving
chains can grab clothing, or create pinch points which can cause severe injury or death to the
operator or bystanders. Always stop engine and remove PTO driveline so that the mixer/feeder
cannot be accidentally turned on while inspecting, servicing, repairing, or cleaning.
3.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO RELEASE JAMMED MATERIALS OR CLEAN MATERIALS from any area of
the mixer/feeder or discharge chute without turning the mixer/feeder off first. Moving parts can
be hidden by materials, and stopped parts can start unexpectedly, causing severe injury.
Always stop engine and remove driveline before attempting to un-jam or clean.
4.
DO NOT ALLOW OPERATION of the mixer by inexperienced and unqualified people. Keep all
unqualified people away from equipment during operation. Operators of the mixer/feeder must
use common sense at all times.
5.
DO NOT wear loose or floppy clothing while operating the mixer/feeder. Loose clothing may
become entangled in moving machinery.
6.
BE SURE the inside of the mixer/feeder is clear of any obstructions and that all shields are in
place before operating. Repair or replace any damaged or missing shielding. Exposed
machinery due to missing shielding can cause severe injury or death.
7.
SHOULD A PROBLEM OCCUR during operation of mixer/feeder, always stop engine and remove
PTO driveline before investigating problem.
8.
USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING AROUND THE DISCHARGE AREA. Never reach around or over
the discharge auger. Discharge auger can quickly grab clothing or hand, causing severe injury
to operator or bystanders.
