Operation Manual
OPERATE SPREADER SAFELY
Rotating parts can entangle or strike people, resulting in death or
personal injury.
Never enter a spreader while in operation.
Operate the spreader from the tractor seat only.
Do not exceed load capacity of the spreader. (See Transport section)
Reduce speed when turning or traveling on rough terrain. Avoid traveling
over loose fill, rocks, ditches or holes.
When working on inclines or slopes, travel uphill or downhill. Keep
tractor in gear when traveling downhill.
STAY CLEAR OF RAISED ENDGATE
Contact with a lowering endgate can cause death or personal injury.
Lower endgate and disconnect hydraulic lines before
servicing or adjusting.
STAY CLEAR OF ROTATING DRIVELINES
Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious
injury or death.
Keep tractor master shield and driveline shields in place at all times.

Operation Manual
AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from
high pressure fluids.
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. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a
knowledgeable medical source.
SERVICE SPREADER SAFELY
To help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement,
be sure to service spreader on level surface.
If spreader is connected to tractor, disengage PTO, engage parking
brake and/or place transmission in “PARK,” shut off engine and remove
key.
If spreader is detached from tractor, block wheels and use safety stands
to prevent movement.
Replace all shields after lubricating or servicing.
REDUCE SPEED WHEN TOWING LOADS
Braking to stop towed loads from transport speeds can cause the towed
load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load weighs more
than the tractor and is not equipped with brakes.
Follow recommended speed-weight ratio guidelines:
• Maximum speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) when towing loads equal to or
less than the tractor.
• Reduce speed to 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing loads more than
equal and up to double the tractor weight.
• Do not tow loads exceeding double the tractor weight.
• Use additional caution when towing loads under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and on inclines
