must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury to operator or others!

Never operate equipment when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that might alter your

judgment and/or reaction time.

Before working with the spreader, secure all loose tting clothing and unrestrained hair.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields when servicing spreader. Failure to do this could result in serious
injury to the eyes.

Never attempt to lift a unit with material in it.

Never allow children to operate or climb on equipment.

Always check areas to be spread to be sure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.

Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Be aware that all salt is hygroscopic and will attract
atmospheric moisture and harden up.
