stoplights are obstructed by the spreader, the

lights shall be relocated, or auxiliary directional

or brake stoplights shall be installed.

WARNING

Overloading could result in an

accident or damage. Do not exceed

GVWR of UTV. See Loading section

to determine maximum volumes of

spreading material. CAUTION

Disconnect electric and/or hydraulic power

and tag out if required before servicing or

performing maintenance.

NOTE: Lubricate grease ﬁttings after each use.

Use a good quality multipurpose grease.

Lit. No. 76454/76455/76456, Rev. 02 9 July 15, 2018

SAFETY

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline

to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away

from sources of heat or ﬂame.

CELL PHONES

A driver's ﬁrst responsibility is the safe operation of

the vehicle. The most important thing you can do

to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay

attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate

Mobile Communication Equipment such as cell phones,

text messaging devices, pagers, or two-way radios.

VENTILATION

BATTERY SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline is highly ﬂammable and gasoline

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open ﬂames

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up

any spilled gasoline immediately.

CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases

which can cause personal injury. Therefore,

do not allow ﬂames, sparks, or lit tobacco

to come near the battery. When charging or

working near a battery, always cover your

face and protect your eyes, and also provide

ventilation.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which burns

skin, eyes, and clothing.

• Disconnect the battery before removing or

replacing any electrical components.

WARNING

Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes.

Breathing these fumes, even in low

concentrations, can cause death. Never

operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without

venting exhaust to the outside.

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 ﬁre.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in PARK

or in gear to prevent others from starting the

vehicle during installation or service.

• Wear only snug-ﬁtting clothing while working on

your vehicle or spreader.

• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long

hair.

• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from

battery acid, gasoline, dirt, and dust.

• Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine,

radiator, hoses, and exhaust pipes.

• Always have a ﬁre extinguisher rated BC handy,

for ﬂammable liquids and electrical ﬁres.
