2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety is the primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately our efforts
to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these.
Allow only properly trained personnel to operate the fertilizer spreader. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your tractor, before
assembly or operation, to acquaint yourself with the machines. It is the spreader owner’s
responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make
certain that the operator, prior to operating, reads and understands the operator’s manuals and is
instructed in safe and proper use.
2.01 - Preparation
1. Before operating equipment read and understand the operator’s manual and the safety signs (see
fig. 6).
2. Thoroughly inspect the implement before initial operation to assure that all packaging materials,
i.e., wires, bands, and tape have been removed.
3. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are
recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining and/or repairing
the implement.
4. Operate the fertilizer spreader only with a tractor equipped with an approved
Roll-Over-Protective-System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or even death
could result from falling off the tractor.
5. Clear area of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
6. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
7. Ensure fertilizer spreader is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
8. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
9. Chemicals may cause eye, skin or breathing problems. Always wear a face mask, gloves and
goggles when filling hopper.
10.Before loading the fertilizer in the hopper read carefully the instructions printed on the fertilizer
canvas bag concerning the precautions to be taken in case of toxicity or corrosivity of the product.
Before loading switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
11.Load hopper with product only after the spreader has been properly attached to the tractor.
2.02 - Starting and Stopping
1. Be sure that no one is near the machine prior to engaging or while the machine is working.
