CAUTION

Disconnect electric and/or hydraulic 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 may contain several blade-

style automotive 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

Replacement is located in the Maintenance section of

this Owner's Manual.

SAFETY

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Improper installation and operation could cause

personal injury and/or equipment and property

damage. Read and understand labels and the

Owner's Manual before installing, operating, or making

adjustments.

WARNING

• Driver to keep bystanders minimum of

25 feet away from operating spreader.

• Before working with the spreader, secure all

loose-tting clothing and unrestrained hair.

• Before operating the spreader, verify that all

safety guards are in place.

• Before servicing the spreader, wait for

auger and spinner to stop.

• Do not climb into or ride on spreader.

WARNING

Overloading could result in an

accident or damage. Do not exceed

GVWR or GAWR ratings as found on

the driver‑side door cornerpost of

the vehicle. See Loading section to determine

maximum volumes of spreading material.

CAUTION

If rear directional, CHMSL light, or brake

stoplights are obstructed by the spreader,

the lights shall be relocated, or auxiliary

directional or brake stoplights shall be

installed.

CAUTION

During the hopper spreader 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.

• 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.

VENTILATION

BATTERY 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 ame.

CELL PHONES

A driver's rst 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.

CAUTION

Batteries normally produce explosive gases

which can cause personal injury. Therefore,

do not allow ames, 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.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly ammable and gasoline

vapor is explosive. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open ames

away from gasoline tank and lines. Wipe up

any spilled gasoline immediately.

SAFETY

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-tting 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 re extinguisher rated BC handy,

for ammable liquids and electrical res.

Lit. No. 43755/43757, Rev. 05 10 September 1, 2021

Read instructions before assembling.

Fasteners should be nger tight until
