The UTGS CONTRACTOR SPREADER Installation and Operational Manual provides safety precautions and guidelines for operating the spreader. Key safety points include:
- Being a careful operator and following safety precautions to avoid serious injury
- Reading and understanding the manual before operating the equipment
- Keeping children away and ensuring adults operate with proper instructions
- Observing and shutting off equipment controls before starting the engine
- Wearing tight, belted clothing and avoiding loose items that could get caught in moving parts
- Disengaging power to operating equipment when leaving the operator's position, making repairs, or when not in use
- Taking precautions when leaving the equipment unattended, such as disengaging the hydraulic system and setting the parking brake.
The manual also highlights the importance of the safety interlock device, which must be disconnected before opening the spreader trough bottom door and top cover, and warns against altering or failing to maintain this device. Various safety decals are located throughout the equipment, alerting operators to potential dangers such as being caught in the dropout opening or being struck by material from the spinner assembly.
