DO NOT OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times
when using the machine. Never stand on the
machine. Serious injury could occur if the
machine is tipped or if the moving parts are
unintentionally contacted. Do not store
anything above or near the machine, where
anyone might stand on the machine to reach
them.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
ACCIDENT
Keep hands & feet out of the way of all
moving parts. Do not place any part of your
body or any tool e.g. in moving parts of the
machine during operation.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL
Always work within the rated capacity. Do not
operate for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE WITH CARE
Clean the machine immediately after use.
Keep the machine clean to ensure it operates
to its full & safest performance. When
maintaining this machine, only the
manufacturer's original replacement parts
should be used. The use of non-original
manufacturer parts may invalidate your
warranty.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Take left over materials to an authorised
collection point or follow the stipulations in
the country where the machine is used. Do not
discharge into drains, soil or water.
STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT
When not in use, the machine should be
stored in a dry location. Keep the machine
away from children and others not qualified
to use it.
OPERATION SPEED
Do not exceed 6mph, to avoid personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
TYRE INFLATION
Before operating, make sure the tyres have
the recommended pressure of 25 PSI (Do not
exceed 25 PSI). We recommend the use of
FOOT or HAND inflation devices only.
This is a garden/domestic product, therefore
extended use over abrasive surfaces (e.g.
concrete, tarmac etc.) could cause premature
wear on the tyres.
TOWING SAFETY RULES
Read the towing vehicle owner's manual and
towing vehicle safety rules. Know how to
operate your tractor before using the tow-
behind spreader.
Never operate the tractor and spreader
attachment without wearing suitable
footwear, and do not allow anyone to ride or
sit on the spreader attachment frame.
Never allow children to operate the tractor or
spreader attachment, and do not allow adults
to operate without proper instructions.
Always begin with the transmission in first
(low) gear and with the engine at low speed,
gradually increase speed as conditions permit.
When towing the spreader, do not drive too
close to a creek or ditch and be aware of holes
and other hazards which could cause you to
lose control of the spreader or tractor.
Before operating a vehicle on any slope or hill
refer to the safety rules in the vehicle owner's
manual concerning safe operation on slopes.
Stay off steep slopes!
