BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR NEW SPREADER BE SURE TO READ THIS OWNERS MAN-
UAL AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE MACHINE!! OBSERVE THE PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MAN-
UAL FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THIS MACHINE!!
Most farm accidents, like industrial, home and high-
way accidents, are caused by the failure of some
individuals to observe simple and fundamental
safety rules or precautions. For this reason, farm
accidents, just as other types of accidents, can be
prevented by recognizing the causes of accidents
and doing something about them before an acci-
dent occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and con-
struction of farm equipment, there are many points
that cannot be completely safe-guarded without in-
terfering with accessibility and efficient operation.
A careful operator is the best insurance against an
accident.
The complete observance of one simple rule would
prevent many thousand serious injuries each year.
That rule is NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL,
OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IN MOTION.
