SAFETY
CAUTION
During the hopper installation we recommend
the addition of an OSHA compliant Backup
Alarm. This alarm is required for OSHA
governed employers.
CAUTION
• Do not operate a spreader in need of
maintenance.
• Before operating the spreader, reassemble
any parts or hardware removed for cleaning
or adjusting.
• Before operating the spreader, remove
materials such as cleaning rags, brushes,
and hand tools from the spreader.
• Before operating the spreader, read the
engine owner's manual, if so equipped.
• While operating the spreader, use auxiliary
warning lights, except when prohibited
by law.
• Tighten all fasteners according to the
Torque Chart. Refer to Torque Chart for the
recommended torque values.
CAUTION
Disconnect electric power and tag out if
required before servicing or performing
maintenance.
CAUTION
DO NOT leave unused material in
hopper. Material can freeze or solidify,
causing unit to not work properly.
Empty and clean after each use.
NOTE: Lubricate grease ttings after each use.
Use a good quality multipurpose grease.
FUSES
The electrical system contains several automotive‑style
fuses. If a problem should occur and fuse replacement
is necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the
same type and amperage rating as the original.
Installing a fuse with a higher rating can damage
the system and could start a re. Fuse ratings and
locations are shown in the Vehicle Harness Diagram
in the Electrical Components section of these
Instructions.

radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.
• Always have a re extinguisher rated BC handy,
for ammable liquids and electrical res.
