• DO NOT stand between the equipment and the truck
while the truck is being backed to the chip spreader.
Death or serious injury can result from being crushed
between the two machines.
• Check all gauges and warning instruments for proper
operation. If malfunctions are found, shut down the
machine and report the problem for resolution. If the
failure causes loss of steering control, loss of brake
control, or loss of engine power, stop chip spreader
motion as quickly as possible. Apply parking brake.
Keep the machine securely parked until the failure is
corrected or the machine can be safely towed.
• Drive the machine with care. Make sure speed is
compatible with conditions. Use caution on rough
ground, slopes, and while turning.
• Be alert for hazards and obstructions such as ditches,
trees, cliffs, overhead power lines, and areas where
there is danger of a slide.
• Be aware of and understand the job site trafc ow
patterns.
• Obey agmen, road signs, and signals.
• Watch for bystanders. Never allow anyone to be
under the machine during operation. Never allow
anyone to reach into the machine during use.
• Operator must know how to use signaling devices
when driving the machine. Operator must also
understand which circumstances require use of each
signal. Use tail lights, slow moving vehicle signs, and
warning beacon as needed when traveling on public
roads. It is recommended that you provide an escort
on the road.
• DO NOT tow the machine, except to remove from road
or to load on trailer.

Maintenance Precautions
• DO NOT attempt repairs unless trained to do so.
Refer to manuals and experienced repair personnel
for help.
• Before working on the machine, securely block the
machine and any components that may fall. Block
any working components to prevent unexpected
movement while repairs are being made.
• Always wear safety glasses and other required safety
equipment when servicing or making repairs.
• Disconnect battery before working on the electrical
system or welding.
• Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments while
the chip spreader is in motion or while engine is
operating.
• Never make repairs on pressurized components such
as uid lines, the gas system, or mechanical items until
the pressure has been relieved.
