1.1 Safe Operation Needs A Qualified Operator
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
•Operators must receive instructions before operating the machine. Untrained operators can cause serious
injury or death.
•For an operator to be qualified, he or she must not use drugs or alcoholic drinks which impair alertness or
coordination while working. An operator who is taking prescription drugs must get medical advice to determine if
he or she can safely operate a machine and the equipment.
1.2 Importance of Safety
Operating Safety
• Read and follow instructions in this manual and the machine’s Operator’s Manual before operating.
• This equipment is dangerous to persons unfamiliar with its operation.
• Check for overhead and / or underground lines before operating equipment (if applicable).
• In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
• Check that the attachment is securely fastened to the machine.
• Make sure all the machine controls are in NEUTRAL before starting the machine.
• Operate the equipment only from the operator’s position.
• Operate the equipment according to the Operator’s Manual.
• When learning to operate the equipment, do it at a slow rate in an area clear of bystanders.
• Keep all bystanders away from the machine when loading or unloading is being done.
• DO NOT permit personnel to be in the work area when operating the equipment.
• The equipment must be used ONLY on approved machines.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Operators must receive instructions before operating the machine. Untrained operators can
cause serious injury or death.
For an operator to be qualified, he or she must not use drugs or alcoholic drinks which
impair alertness or coordination while working. An operator who is taking prescription
drugs must get medical advice to determine if he or she can safely operate a machine and
the equipment.

• DO NOT modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and / or safety
and could affect the life of the equipment. Affect or void warranty too.
• DO NOT make any adjustments or repairs on the equipment while the machine is running.
• Keep shields and guards in place. Replace if damaged.
• DO NOT operate equipment in poor visibility conditions such as fog, darkness, or any conditions that limit clear
visibility less than 300 feet (100 m) in front of and to the sides of the equipment.
• Never attempt to clear obstructions or objects from the heavy duty spreader whil the machine is running.
• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury.
NEVER check for leaks by using any part of your body to feel for escaping fluid.
• DO NOT operate in a work area that has not been inspected for foreign debris and obstacles.
• Remove any foreign objects and clearly mark any objects that cannot be removed.
• Wear safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection and other protective clothing when required.
• The heavy duty spreader should not be used to handle materials other than which were specified as part of its
design.
• Stop engine, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, repairing, adjusting or
loading.
• Before servicing, make sure the machine has cooled down. Machine components, hoses and fittings can get
hot enough to cause serious injury.
Fire Prevention Safety
• Flammable debris (leaves, grass, etc.) must be removed regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate,
it can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this accumulation.
• The equipment’s hydraulic motor compartment must be inspected every day and cleaned if necessary to
prevent fire hazards and overheating.
• All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are flammable. Flammable fluids that are leaking or spilled
onto hot surfaces or onto electrical components can cause a fire.
Transporting Safety
• Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of machinery on public roads.
• Check local laws for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
• Never allow riders on either machine or equipment.
• If transporting the attachment on a truck or trailer, make sure it is properly secured to the transport vehicle.
Hydraulic System
• Check hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare skin to check
for leaks. Hydraulic tubes and hoses must be properly routed and have adequate support and secure clamps.

Tighten or replace any parts that show leakage.
• Always clean fluid spills. Do not use gasoline or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use commercial nonflammable
solvents
2. Operation
2.1 General Information
Pre-Operation Inspection
Before operating the Spreader for the first time and each time thereafter, use the following list as a guideline
during equipment inspection.
• Fully clean the attachment. See “Cleaning The Attachment” on page 15.
• Lubricate the attachment per the schedule outline in the Maintenance Section. See“Lubrication” on page 14.
• Check the spreader mounting frame for damage or cracks.
• Check that all shields and guards are in place.
• Check all components on the spreader for wear and damage. Replace any parts that are worn or damaged.
• Check for damaged or missing safety decals. Replace if necessary.
• Inspect the machine’s mounting frame. (See the machine's Operator’s Manual for inspecting the mounting
frame).
• Check condition of all hydraulic components for leaks. Repair as required.
NOTE: Do not operate with hydraulic leaks.
• Verify that the spreader is properly connected to the machine.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
• Disengage machine’s auxiliary hydraulics, engage the machine’s parking brake, stop the engine
and make sure all rotating components are completely stopped before connecting, disconnecting,
adjusting or cleaning equipment.
• Always keep shields and all guards in place when using the equipment.
• Disengage machine’s auxiliary hydraulics for road travel.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating parts.
WARNING
