STORAGE
Following operation, or when unhooking the Manure
Spreader, stop the atv or utv, set the brakes, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition keys.
Simply spray the Manure Spreader clean with a water hose
before storing to keep hopper and spreading drum from
clogging.
Store the unit upright to allow any water to drain.
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface
and engage all safety devices.
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main
concerns in designing and developing a Manure Spreader.
However, every year accidents occur which could have
been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more
careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator,
can avoid many accidents by observing the following
precautions and insist those working with you, or for you,
follow them.
Replace any safety sign that is not readable or missing.
Location of such safety signs are indicated in this manual.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs that can hinder
alertness or coordination while operating this equipment.
Consult your doctor about operating this machine while
taking prescription medications.
Under no circumstances should children under the age
of 18 be allowed to work with this equipment. Do not
allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they
have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and how it works.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons
unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be
a responsible, properly trained and physically able
person familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations. If the elderly are assisting with farm
work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and
accommodated.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability
to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question – DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized
modification could result in serious injury or death and may
impair the function and life of the equipment.
In addition to the design and the confirmation of this
implement, including safety signs and safety equipment,
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon
the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of
