Personal Safety
Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in park or in gear to prevent others from starting
the vehicle during installation or service.
Wear only snug-fitting clothing while working on your vehicle or spreader. Do not wear
dangling jewelry or neckties and secure long hair.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from dust, dirt & debris from the spreader,
especially when in operation and close to spreader. Material is spread at significant velocity.
Fire and Explosion
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, VAPOURS ARE EXPLOSIVE.
Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all open flames and sources of ignition away from gasoline tank,
lines and containers. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately. Do not use gasoline to
clean parts. Store gasoline only in approved containers away from sources of heat or flame.
Ventilation
VEHICLE EXHAUST CONTAINS LETHAL FUMES.
Breathing these fumes, even in low
concentrations, can cause illness or death. Never operate a vehicle or leave engine running
while performing spreader maintenance in an enclosed area without venting the exhaust to
the outside.
Cell Phones
A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. The most important thing
you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait
until it is safe to operate Mobile Communication Devices such as cell phones, text
messaging devices, pagers or two-way radios (ie. when vehicle is parked).
