TRANSPORTING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WHEN TRANSPORTING A LOADED SPREADER, USE REDUCED SPEED AND BE
SURE THE VEHICLE HAS ADEQUATE BRAKES TO STOP.
• DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE ON OR INSIDE THE SPREADER.
• REDUCE SPEED WHEN TRAVELING loaded and/or over rough, soft, or wet terrain. Exercise caution
on side slopes and when turning corners.
• AVOID OPERATING THE SPREADER CROSSING GULLIES OR DITCHES.
• WHEN WORKING ON SLOPES or inclines, travel uphill or downhill. Keep the transmission in gear
when going downhill.
• AVOID DRIVING ON loose fill, rocks, inclines, ditches, and holes.
• ALWAYS PARK the spreader on level ground and block the tires.
• IF UNIT IS FOR HIGHWAY TRANSIT the end user is responsible for federal, state and local vehicle
safety regulation compliance (example: under ride requirements, lighting and weight limitations).
SAFETY DECALS
SAFETY DECALS ARE PLACED ON THIS UNIT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE
OPERATOR OR ANY PERSON NEAR THE UNIT.
• BE SURE EVERYONE WHO OPERATES THE SPREADER UNDERSTANDS ALL THE
INFORMATION, WARNING, CAUTION AND DANGER DECALS.
• KEEP THE DECALS CLEAN so they are readable. This applies to all caution, warning, and danger
decals.
• It is the OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY to provide information for safe operation of this machine.
• REPLACE ANY DAMAGED OR WORN DECAL. Once any part of a decal becomes non-readable, it
should be replaced. Replacement decals may be ordered through your dealer or Roda Manufacturing.
• WHEN REPLACING DECALS, be sure the surface area is clean and dry, peel the backing off the decal,
and apply to the unit. Be sure to wipe with a clean cloth to rub out all air bubbles to assure a good seal. For
best adhesion decals should be applied in temperatures of 50°(f) or warmer.
