1. Any person who has not read and/or does not understand all operation and safety
procedures is not qualified to operate any auger systems.
2. Certain regulations apply to personnel operating power machinery. Personnel under
the age of 18 years may not operate power machinery, including augers. It is your
responsibility, as owner and/or supervisor, to know what these regulations are in your
area or situation.
3. Unqualified or incompetent persons are to remain out of the work area.
4. O.S.H.A. (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations state:

which the employee is, or will be involved." (Federal Occupational Safety & Health
Standards for Agriculture. Subpart D, Section 19287.57 (a) (6).

personal record keeping. All unqualified persons are to stay out of the work area at all times. It is
strongly recommended that another qualified person who knows the shutdown procedure is in the
area in the event of an emergency. A person who has not read this manual and understands all
