personal injury and/or equipment and property
damage. Read and understand labels and the

safety guards are in place.

WARNING
Do not install the control for this product in
the deployment path of an air bag. Refer to
vehicle manufacturer's manual for air bag
deployment area(s).
CAUTION
If rear directional, CHMSL light, or brake
stoplights are obstructed by the spreader, the

CAUTION
Disconnect electric and/or hydraulic power
and tag out if required before servicing or
performing maintenance.
NOTE: Lubricate grease fittings after each use.
Use a good quality multipurpose grease.
FUSES
The electrical system contains several blade-style
automotive fuses. If a problem should occur and
fuse replacement is necessary, the replacement
fuse must be of the same type and amperage rating
as the original. Installing a fuse with a higher rating
can damage the system and could start a fire. Fuse
Replacement, including fuse ratings and locations,
is located in the Maintenance section of the Owner's
Manual.
WARNING
Overloading could result in an
accident or damage. Do not exceed
GVWR or GAWR ratings as found
on the driver‑side vehicle door
cornerpost. See Loading section to determine
maximum volumes of spreading material.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave unused material in
hopper. Material can freeze or solidify,
causing unit to not work properly.
Empty and clean after each use.
CAUTION
During the hopper installation we recommend
the addition of an OSHA compliant Backup
Alarm. This alarm is required for OSHA
governed employers.
CAUTION
• Do not operate a spreader in need of
maintenance.
• Before operating the spreader, reassemble
any parts or hardware removed for cleaning
or adjusting.
