Operating the Spreader
DANGER
Hands, feet, and clothing can get caught in
the moving parts of the spreader and cause
serious bodily injury and loss of limbs.
Tie back long hair, remove jewelry, and keep
your hands, feet, and clothing away from the
moving spinner and attachment points.
CAUTION
The spreader throws material at a high speed
that could cause minor injuries to bystanders.
Bystanders should stay a minimum of 7.6 m
(25 ft) away from operating spreaders.
