3.02 - Set Up
Notice to dealer: Pre-Delivery set up and service including lubrication are the responsibility of the
authorized dealer. It is up to him to assure that the machine is in perfect condition and ready to be
used. It is his responsibility to ensure that the customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational
procedures for the spreader. He must also fill out the Pre-Delivery Checklist

prior to delivering the
spreader.
CAUTION: Stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient tension to
cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, as they often have extremely
sharp edges and cut very easy.
3.03 - Pre-Operational Check
Check each of the following, carefully, prior to engaging the equipment:
1. No wrappings or foreign objects are around the spreader.
2. All hardware is tight.
3. All safety shields and guards are in place and tightly attached.
4. No people or animals are in the work area.

cleaning the machine.
