Before attempting any procedure in this book, these safety instructions must be read and understood by all workers who have any part in the preparation or use of this equipment.

For your safety warning and information decals have been placed on this product to remind the operator of safety precautions . If anything happens to mark or destroy the decals, please request new ones from SnowEx.

Remember, most accidents are preventable and caused by human error. Exercising of care and precautions must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury to operator or others!

Never operate equipment when under the inﬂ uence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that might alter your judgment and/or reaction time.

Before working with the spreader, secure all loose ﬁ 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 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.

Always inspect unit for defects: broken, worn or bent parts, weakened areas on spreader.

Remember it is the owner’s responsibility to communicate information on safe usage and proper maintenance of all equipment.

Always make sure personnel are clear of areas of danger when using equipment.

Never weld or grind on equipment without having a ﬁ re extinguisher available.

Inspect the unit periodically for defects. Parts that are broken, missing or worn out must be replaced immediately. The unit or any part of it can not be altered without prior written permission from the manufacturer.

Always inspect pins whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before operation of spreader.

Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 10 m.p.h.

Never use wet materials or materials with foreign debris with any of these spreaders. These units are designed to handle dry, clean, free ﬂ owing material.

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

Adjustable Fins Shown in

Lift This End Up and Move To Desired Position.

The purpose of the adjustable ﬁ n is to provide a way to adjust spread patterns with different materials. You can select the desired position by simply lifting up on the outside top edge. You will notice that diffrent materials act in different ways in relation to spinner speed. By moving the ﬁ ns you will be able to correct most pattern issues without having to sacriﬁ ce spinner speed. All adjustments should be made on pav-

ment and positions noted for future reference, this process should be incorporated into your normal calibration process.
