Use Caution in the
Operation of this
Equipment
The design and manufacture of this
dryer is directed toward operator
safety. However, the very nature
of a grain dryer having a gas burner,
high voltage electrical equipment and
high speed rotating parts, does
present a hazard to personnel, which
can not be completely safeguarded
against, without interfering with ef-
ficient operation and reasonable ac-
cess to components.
Use extreme caution in working
around high speed fans, gas-fired
heaters, augers and auxiliary convey-
ors, which may start without warn-
ing when the dryer is operating on
automatic control.
