Operator's Manual:  Millcreek 27+ & 37+ Spreaders

1-2

For Your Safety... (continued)

In addition to observing the specific precautions listed throughout the manual, the following general
precautions apply and must be heeded for proper, safe operation.

WARNING:  Keep hands and feet from under the spreader at all times.  Ensure that you are
safely distanced from any other persons before operating the spreader.

WARNING:  DO NOT attempt to operate the spreader in areas with steep inclines, ditches,
large rocks, stumps, or holes which may endanger the operator by upsetting the tractor or cause dam-

age to the spreader.

WARNING:  To prevent serious personal injury and to promote safe spreader operation, keep all
shields in place during operation.  Ensure that all mounting hardware is properly tightened.

WARNING:  Never clean, adjust, or repair the spreader while the tractor is running.

WARNING:  Never get off the tractor while it is in motion and/or while the spreader is in operation.

WARNING:  Never wear loose clothing when operating the spreader as it may become caught
in the moving parts of the machine.

WARNING:  Never allow children or anyone else to ride on the spreader.

ATTENTION:  For proper and safe operation of the spreader, periodically inspect all parts for
excessive wear.  Replace worn components with factory-authorized parts.

ATTENTION:  To prevent the hitch from coming disconnected during operation, use the proper size hitch pin
with a safety cotter at all times.

Safety Labels

Following are the locations and descriptions of all labels on the spreader (labels are identical for both Models
27+ and 37+); refer to Figure 1A.  Please note that some labels denote model number, model description, etc.
while others contain important safety messages.

Each Safety Label contains an  important safety message starting with a key word as discussed earlier in this
section (e.g. ATTENTION, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER).  For your safety and the safe operation of
your equipment, review all labels and heed all safety messages as printed on the labels.

Be sure to keep the safety labels clean and readable.  If the labels ever become damaged or illegible, contact
your Millcreek dealer for replacements.
