SAFETY
Improper operation can cause serious
injury or death.
Pre-operation
•This machine is designed for spreading dry free
flowing material only. NEVER use this machine
for any other purpose.
•Read the operator’s manual for the “Skid Steer
Loader.” NEVER allow untrained people to
operate.
•Operating instructions must be given to everyone
before operating this attachment and at least
once a year thereafter in accordance with OSHA
regulations.
•NEVER exceed the maximum recommended
input power or speed specifications for the
attachment. Over-powering or over-speeding the
attachment may cause personal injury and/or
machine damage.
•Keep all shields, guards, and covers in place.
•Do not modify equipment or add attachments that
are not approved by Erskine Attachments LLC.
•Use adequate safety warning lights and devices
as required by local regulations. Obey all local
laws and regulations regarding machine
operation on public property.
Operation
•Always wear eye protection that meets z87.1 or
use with a loader enclosure that provides similar
protection.
•Hydraulic connections may be hot after use. Use
gloves if connecting or disconnecting after use.
•Check and be sure all operating controls are in
neutral before starting the engine.
•Keep people away from loader, attachment and
discharge when in use. This attachment has
rotating parts. NEVER direct discharge toward
people.
•NEVER operate near embankments or terrain
that is so steep that rollover could occur.
Operation (continued)
•Always stay in the operator position when using
the attachment.
•Before leaving the operators position,
disengage hydraulic drive, lower the attachment
to rest flat on the ground, stop engine, set park
brake, and wait for all motion to stop.
•NEVER place hands in the discharge area or
clear debris while the engine is running.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard
•Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
•Avoid the hazard by relieving the
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
•Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when servicing or performing maintenance on
hydraulic systems.
•If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
Maintenance
•NEVER make adjustments, lubricate, clean, or
perform any service on the machine while it is in
operation.
•Make sure the attachment is serviced on a daily
basis. Improper maintenance can cause
serious injury or death in addition to damage to
the attachment and/or your equipment.
