Whenever adjusting, cleaning, lubricating or otherwise servicing this spreader, you must shutoff and lockout
power to the spreader. Because this spreader can be truck mounted or powered by a tractor, methods vary.
On truck mounted units, the connection between the truck and the spreader is permanently installed and not
intended to be disconnected. On trucks, disengage the PTO drive, turn off the engine, set the parking brake,
remove the ignition keys and keep them in your possession to prevent anyone else from accidentally applying
power to the box unexpectedly. For tractors, disconnect the PTO, disconnect and relieve pressure of the
hydraulics, turn off the tractor and set the brakes.
At times, parts on this equipment will become worn or damaged. Performing repairs on this equipment can
