Operating Pre-Operation Inspection Before starting operation, inspect the area you will be operating in and inspect the attachment. Inspect the Work Area 1. Confirm the area is clear of bystanders including animals. Establish a safety zone by keeping bystanders and animals beyond a 100 foot radius around the attachment when operating.
Operating Theory of Operation The Sand Spreader hydraulic hoses are connected to the loader front auxiliary hydraulic couplers. Hydraulic fluid flows through the hoses and through the flow control valve to the motor which drives the spreader plate to throw material outward. Material flows out of the hopper through adjustable doors on the bottom.
