Never attempt to remove the spreader from a vehicle with material in it.
Never operate equipment when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These substances alter
your judgment and slow your reactions.
Always keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and hair away from moving parts. These items will catch and be
pulled in by moving parts, causing serious personal injury.
Always shut off vehicle before attempting to attach, detach, or service the spreader. Be sure vehicle is properly
braked, chocked, and on level ground.
Use caution when driving and drive at a sensible speed, where braking distances are safe and safe handling
characteristics are maintained.
Avoid large holes and ditches when transporting loads. Do not push close to creeks, ditches and public high-
ways.
Never tow the spreader with a motorized vehicle.
Always clear and keep work area clean when operating.
Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating the spreader.
Do not at any time carry passengers sit or stand on the spreader.
Do not allow children to play on, stand upon or climb in the spreader.
Before working with the spreader, secure all loose clothing and hair. Clothing and hair could get caught in
moving parts.
Keep hands and fingers free of moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses with side protection when servicing spreader or near where material is being
spread.
Never allow children to operate or climb/play on or around equipment.
Always make sure people are clear of where you will be using equipment. Always check areas to be spread to
ensure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.
Inspect the spreader before and after operating for defects. Parts that are broken, missing or worn out must be
replaced before operating.
Be careful when operating on steep grades (hill) the spreader may tip over.
The safety information and the instructions outlined in this document cannot cover all possible conditions or
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product and must be supplied by the operator. Exercise care and observe pre-
cautions to prevent injury to yourself and others.
Never use wet materials or materials with foreign debris with the spreader. The spreader is designed to spread
dry, clean, free-flowing material.
Never leave material in hopper between uses, or when storing. Turf-care materials are hygroscopic and will
attract moisture and harden up.
Empty the spreader and clean it after each use to prevent material from building up and covering metal parts,
causing corrosion.
Do not use salt. Using salt in this spreader will damage the mechanism and shorten the life of the machine
