These torque values apply to fasteners
except those noted in the instruction.
 CAUTION
Read instructions before assembling. 
Fasteners should be fi nger tight until 
instructed to tighten according to torque 
chart. Use standard methods and practices 
when attaching spreader including proper 
personal protective safety equipment.
 CAUTION
Batteries normally produce explosive gases 
that can cause personal injury. Therefore, 
do not allow fl ames, sparks, or lit tobacco 
to come near battery. When charging or 
working near a battery, always cover your 
face and protect your eyes, and also provide 
ventilation.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that burns 
skin, eyes and clothing.
• Disconnect the battery before removing or 
replacing any electrical components.
FUSES
The electrical system contains automotive blade-style 
fuses. If a problem should occur and fuse replacement 
is necessary, the replacement fuse must be of the 
same type and amperage rating as the original. 
Installing a fuse with a higher rating can damage the 
system and could start a fi re. Fuse Replacement, 
including fuse ratings and locations, is located in the 
Maintenance Section of this Owner's Manual.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•  Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in park or 
in gear to prevent others from starting the vehicle 
during installation or service.
•  Wear only snug-fi tting clothing while working on 
your vehicle or spreader.
•  Do not wear jewelry or a necktie, and secure long 
hair.
•  Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from 
battery acid, gasoline, dirt and dust.
•  Avoid touching hot surfaces such as the engine, 
radiator, hoses and exhaust pipes.
•  Always have a fi re extinguisher rated BC handy, 
for fl ammable liquids and electrical fi res.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Be careful when using gasoline. Do not use gasoline 
to clean parts. Store only in approved containers away 
from sources of heat or fl ame.
CELL PHONES
A driver's fi rst responsibility is the safe operation of 
the vehicle. The most important thing you can do 
to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay 
attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to operate 
Mobile Communication Equipment such as cell 
phones or two-way radios.
VENTILATION
 WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains lethal fumes. 
Breathing these fumes, even in low 
concentrations, can cause death. Never 
operate a vehicle in an enclosed area without 
venting exhaust to the outside.
