USERS, BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN
Do not at any time carry passengers in or on the spreader, stationary or whilst moving. Do not allow any
person, child or pet to play on, stand, sit, lay or climb in or on the spreader. Never allow children or people
unfamiliar with these instructions to use the spreader. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
Keep unauthorised persons a safe distance away from the machine. If approached, stop the machine
immediately.
AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Work in daylight or in good artificial light; walk, never run with the machine; always be sure of your footing on
slopes; exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes; do not work on excessively steep slopes;
use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine towards you; do not put hands or feet near or
under rotating or moving parts. When operating on slopes, across the incline.
INSPECT YOUR MACHINE
Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially those securing guards and drive
mechanisms. Vibration during use, may cause these to loosen.
Form a habit of checking to see that all other tools/equipment are removed from the working area before
operating. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using. Warning labels carry important information.
Replace any missing or damaged warning labels.
DRESS PROPERLY
Be careful of loose clothing and other accessories (watches, necklaces etc.) which can be caught in moving
parts. Long trousers are advisable. Always wear substantial non-slip footwear when operating. Never operate
barefoot or when wearing sandals. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Always keep proper footing and balance when operating. Use on slopes with great care. 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.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL
Do not exceed maximum load capacity of 57kg (125lb). Avoid large holes and ditches when transporting loads.
Always work within the rated capacity. Do not use for a purpose for which it was not intended. Be careful
when operating on steep slopes, the spreader may tip over. Always operate at reduce speed in rough terrain,
along creeks, ditches and on hillsides. To avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage DO NOT EXCEED 10
MPH. Always use caution when loading and unloading the hopper.
INSPECT
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the machine is not worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged elements and bolts in sets, to preserve balance.
MAINTAIN YOUR MACHINE WITH CARE
Clean the machine immediately after use. Keep the machine clean to ensure it operates to its full and 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, store in a dry location. Keep the machine away from children and others not qualified to use
it. Keep away from direct sunlight.
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 spreader, therefore
extended use over abrasive surfaces (e.g. concrete, tarmac etc.) could cause premature wear on the tyres.
