2.7 INSTALLATION SAFETY
1. Disconnect and remove all mechanical locks, an-
chor chains and any other transport devices that
would hinder or prohibit the normal functioning of
the Agri-Vac
®
upon start up. Serious damage to
the machine and/or personal injury to the opera-
tor and bystanders may result from attempting to
operate the machine while mechanical locking de-
vices are still attached.
2. Position the machine on firm, level ground before
operating.
3. Level the frame before using or loading.
4. Have at least one extra person available to assist
when elevating, moving or connecting to other
equipment.
5. Make certain that sufficient amperage, at the prop-
er voltage and frequency (60Hz) is available before
connecting power for the electric model. Have a
licensed electrician provide power to the machine.
Always follow ANSI/NFPA 70 Standard and all lo-
cal codes when providing electrical power.
6. If using Agri-Vac ® as part of grain handling sys-
tem, anchor securely before starting.
7. Attach exhaust piping to engine or good cross ven-
tilation to the outside if operating the gas model
inside a building or enclosed area.
2.8 LOCK-OUT TAG-OUT SAFETY
1. Establish a formal Lock-Out Tag-Out program for
your operation.
2. Train all operators and service personnel before
allowing them to work around the Agri-Vac
® .
3. Provide tags at the work site and a sign-up sheet
to record tag out details.
4. Do not perform any service or maintenance work
unless motor and engine are OFF and the power
locked out.
2.6 PREPARATION
1. Never operate the Agri-Vac
®
and auxiliary equip-
ment until you have read and completely un-
derstand this manual, the auxiliary equipment
Operator's Manual, and each of the Safety
Messages found on the safety signs on the and
auxiliary equipment.
2. Personal protection
equipment includ-
ing hard hat, safe-
ty
glasses, safety
shoes, and gloves
are recommended
during assembly, in-
stallation, operation,
adjustment,
main-
taining, repairing, removal, or moving the imple-
ment. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing
or jewelery to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE
TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Motors or equipment attached
can often be noisy enough to
cause permanent, partial hear-
ing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing
protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the
Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over
85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hear-
ing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator
over a long-term basis may cause permanent,
total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud
noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other
such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.
4. Clear working area of debris, trash or hidden ob-
stacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
injury, damage or tripping.
5. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
6. Be sure machine is properly anchored, adjusted
and in good operating condition.
7. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs
are properly installed and in good condition.
8. Before starting, give the machine a "once over" for
any loose bolts, worn parts, cracks, leaks, frayed
belts and make necessary repairs. Always follow
maintenance instructions.
