customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational procedures for the spreader. He
must also fill out the Pre-delivery checklist
3
prior to delivering the spreader.
CAUTION: stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient
tension to cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, they
often have extremely sharp edges and cut very easy.
3.03 - Pre-Operational Check
Check each of the following, carefully, prior to engaging the equipment:
1. no wrappings or foreign objects are around the spreader.
2. All hardware is tight.
3. All safety shields and guards are in place and tightly attached.
4. No people or animals are in the work area.
DANGER: shut off the tractor and remove the key before
making adjustments,
servicing or cleaning the machine.
3.04 - Attaching to the Tractor
CAUTION: always ensure that the tractor tire pressure is correct according to the
tractor operator's manual.
DANGER: failure to ensure a secure coupling of the implement to the tractor can
cause injury and damage to the implement or tractor.
To attach the spreader to the tractor do the following:
1. slip the tractor drawbar hitch into the towing hitch. Secure the spreader hitch into
the tractor drawbar with the pin.
2. Adjust the towing hitch
(see #51, fig. 2)
so that the spreading disc
(see #46, fig.
