Transporting & Storage
RIDERS
TRANSPORT SAFETY
• Read and understand ALL the information in the
Operator’s Manual regarding procedures and
SAFETY when operating the spreader in the
field/yard or on the road.
• Check with local authorities regarding machine
transport on public roads. Obey all applicable
laws and regulations.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Use
caution when making corners or
meeting traffic.
• Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving
Vehicle) emblem and all the lights and reflectors
that are required by the local highway and
transport authorities are in place, are clean
and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and
oncoming traffic.
• Clean off machine to ensure loose debris/
materials do not fall from spreader while in
transport.
• Keep to the right and yield the right-of-way to
allow faster traffic to pass. Drive on the road
shoulder, if permitted by law.
• Always use hazard warning flashers on tractor
when transporting unless prohibited by law.
• Always use a pin with provisions for a
mechanical retainer and a safety chain when
attaching to a tractor or towing vehicle.
After the season’s use, completely inspect all
major systems of the machine. Repair or replace
any worn or damaged components to prevent
unnecessary down time at the beginning of next
season.
Since the unit can be used in extremely adverse
conditions during the season, the machine should
be carefully prepared for storage to ensure that all
dirt, mud, debris and moisture has been removed.
Follow this procedure when preparing to store:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a
water hose or pressure washer to remove all
dirt, mud, debris or residue. Manure is acidic
and will damage paint and cause rusting of
metal components.
2. Inspect all moving or rotating parts to see
if anything has become entangled in them.
Remove the entangled material.
3. Lubricate all grease fittings to remove any
moisture in the bearings.
4. Run the machine slowly for 1 minute to
distribute lubricant to all surfaces.
5. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines,
couplers and valves. Tighten any loose fittings.
Replace any hose that is badly cut, nicked or
abraded or is separating from the crimped end
of the fitting.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to
prevent rusting.
7. Oil the exposed rams on the hydraulic
cylinders to prevent rusting.
8. Select an area that is dry, level and free of
debris.
