OPERATIONAL SAFETY
It is absolutely necessary to empty the hopper before lowering the spreader to the ground.
Guards and safety shields are for your protection. DO NOT operate equipment unless they
are in place.
Read and observe all safety decals on the tractor and spreader.
NEVER allow anyone, other than the operator, within 25' of machine while in operation.
DO NOT stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Avoid operation on steep
slopes.
Be alert for holes in terrain and other hidden hazards. ALWAYS drive slowly over rough
ground.
Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be careful
when changing directions on slopes.
Take all possible precautions when leaving tractor unattended: Shift into neutral, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove key from ignition.
