IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your ATV, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machine. It is the equipment owner’s responsibility, if this equipment is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to operating:
1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders fifty feet (50’) from operating equipment. Only properly trained people should operate this ATV and attached implement. Always stop the ATV, set brake, shut off the engine and remove the key before dismounting. Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running.

All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement, be sure the tools used are designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer for that specific task.
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving of the spreader.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or moving of the implement.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly, installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
A heavy load can cause instability of the vehicle. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. The vehicle may need front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement. An unstable vehicle could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating equipment. Consult your doctor about operating tractor and implement while taking prescription medications.
Do not allow others to ride on the ATV with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never
allow anyone to ride on the implement!
Before you operate any implement, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation instructions to use this equipment.
Never allow children to operate or be around equipment.
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with the attached implements.
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance for the implement.
Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position when in transport.

Never operate broadcast spreader if anyone is within 50 ft. of ATV and spreader.
Never use your hand or fingers to clear a jam of material in the feed gate. Use a clean stick or rod.
When spreading any material, always use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields.
When spreading, always be aware of the wind direction and that it may carry the material further than normal spread width.
Use care when working on slopes.
Do not allow tools to cause sparks when working on a battery. BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS. A spark could cause an explosion if hydrogen gas is present.
Observe correct polarity (+ and –) on batteries.
Disconnect negative (–) cable first and connect it last.
Avoid excessive speed during operation. Use lower gear to slow forward travel.
Always shut off ATV and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving tractor. Remove key when leaving ATV unattended.
Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact your dealer or representative.
