FREEZING WEATHER OPERATION

Allow spreader to completely empty last of manure con- tents and disengage tractor PTO. Shut off tractor, re- move the ignition key and allow all movement to stop before attempting to clean the spreader.

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN, ADJUST OR LUBRICATE WHILE SPREADER IS IN MOTION. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PER- SONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Scrape clean any remaining manure from inside the rear of spreader. Clean all manure from ends of augers, flow control rear gate and spinners.

WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF THE SPREADER BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERI- OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Slowly engage the PTO. Operate the spreader several minutes to clean manure scrapings and to allow any re- maining manure and the spreader to freeze dry. Hydrau- lically run the flow control rear gate up and down to clean gate slide guides. Park spreader with flow control rear gate approximately halfway open.

Before loading in freezing weather, make sure augers and spinners are free to rotate, and the flow control rear gate moves freely up and down.

DANGER: KEEP AWAY AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF ROTATING SPINNERS AT REAR OF SPREADER. SERIOUS INJURY OR AM- PUTATION COULD RESULT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
