All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who
recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, adjustment, maintaining,
repairing, removal, or moving the implement, be sure the tools used are designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer for that specific task.
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during
assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving of the spreader.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or
moving of the implement.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. The vehicle may need front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the
implement. An unstable vehicle could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating equipment.
Consult your doctor about operating tractor and implement while taking prescription medications.
Do not allow others to ride on the ATV with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by
foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never
allow anyone to ride on the ATV or seeder mount!
Before you operate any implement, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation instructions to use this equipment.
Never allow children to operate or be around equipment.
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with the attached implements.
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the implement.
Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
