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 tractor 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.
Never place any part of your body in the hopper while the PTO is engaged. The rotating agitator can cause
serious injury.
Avoid excessive speed during operation. Use lower gear to slow forward travel.
NEVER operate any PTO driven implement unless tractor PTO guard is in place and PTO driveline shielding
is in place.
Always shut off tractor and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving tractor. Always lower implement to
ground. Remove key when leaving tractor unattended.
Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact
your dealer or representative.
Safety is a 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 equip-
ment, 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 has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of an operator.

The spread width indicated on this chart is possible if spinner is operated 30 inches above the ground.
NOTE:
Spread Chart settings are approximate – always make trial run to check actual application rate.
The amount of seed or fertilizer broadcast depends on the size of the hopper opening and the speed of the tractor. The
table shown is an approximate guide based on a tractor speed of 4 MPH, so adjust for different speeds.
