Although it is recommended that the machine be emptied before stopping, in an
emergency situation:
1. Stop or shut down the power source immediately.
2. Stop the flow of material (if applicable).
3. Correct the emergency before resuming work.
The tube may be filled with material if the machine is shut down inadvertently or
for an emergency. It is recommended that you restart with the following
procedure:
4. With the power source locked out, remove as much of the grain as possible
from the tube and intake using a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other
tool. Do not use your hands.
5. If cleanout covers or safety doors have been opened or removed, close or
replace them before restarting the unit.
6. Start the tractor and engage the PTO with the tractor idling.
7. Bring slowly up to speed.
8. Once
the auger has been started, you may resume normal operation.
NOTICE
Always engage PTO with tractor engine idling. Engaging
PTO at high engine speed will result in equipment damage.
