®

 Spreader

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

damage 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, while the spreader is in operation,

and/or while the PTO is engaged.

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.

Safety Labels

Following are the locations and descriptions of all labels on your TURF TIGER spreader.  Figure 1A shows the
location of ALL labels on your spreader.  Please note that some labels denote model number, model descrip-
tion, 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 spreader, 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.
