thoroughly.  

This concerns your safety.

 

 
The Bauman Drop Spreader should only be operated by one person.  The operator should 
ensure that no one is close to the area where the machine is in use.  Do not let others operate 
the machine unless you are certain that they have the necessary knowledge to operate the 
machine safely and correctly. 
 
The following precautions should be read and understood before operation of the machine:
