Safety

Before attempting any procedure in this book, the safety information in this manual must be read and understood by all personnel who have
any part in the installation, preparation, transport, service, repair or use of this equipment.

For your protection, safety and information decals have been placed on the spreader to remind the operator of safety precautions and par­ticular hazards.

Never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading will result in unpredictable and unsafe
vehicle handling.

Never attempt to remove the spreader from a vehicle with material in it.

Always have someone to help you remove or install spreader. Use lifting devices such as a forklift or crane
where possible to prevent injury to yourself and others, and damage to the equipment.

Never operate equipment when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These substances alter

your judgement and slow your reactions.

Always keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and hair away from moving parts. These items will catch and be
pulled in by moving parts, causing serious personal injury.

Always shut off vehicle before attempting to attach, detach, or service the spreader. Be sure vehicle is prop­erly braked, chocked, and on level ground.

Use caution when driving and drive at a sensible speed, where braking distances are safe and safe handling
characteristics are maintained.

Before working with the spreader, secure all loose clothing and hair. Clothing and hair could get caught in
moving parts.

Always wear safety glasses with side protection when servicing spreader or near where salt/ice melter is
being spread.

Never allow children to operate equipment or play on or around equipment.

Always make sure people are clear of where you will be using equipment. Always check areas to be spread
to ensure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.

Inspect the spreader before and after operating for defects. Parts that are broken, missing or worn out must
be replaced before operating.

Do not modify the spreader without written permission from SnowEx. Modifying the spreader or its mount
can affect performance and safety.

Remember most accidents are preventable and caused by human error. Exercise care and observe precau­tions to prevent injury to yourself and others.

Never use wet materials or materials with foreign debris with the spreader. The spreader is designed to

spread dry, clean, free-owing material.

Never leave material in hopper between storms, or when storing. Ice melters are hygroscopic and will attract
moisture and harden up.

Empty the spreader and clean it after each use to prevent ice melter from building up and covering metal
parts, causing corrosion.
