SAND APPLICATION RATE
The rate of sand being applied depends on the weight
of the sand. Sand varies in moisture and coarseness
which effects the weight. These factors must be taken
into consideration when determining the amount of
sand required for the application. Test a small area to
determine the correct amount.

As a general rule, position the weight of the load
evenly from front to rear and evenly from side to
side.
Transporting or topdressing with a full load can
cause shifting of the sand. This shifting happens
most often while turning, going up or down hills,
suddenly changing speeds or while driving over
rough surfaces. Shifting loads can lead to tipovers.
Use caution when transporting or topdressing with a
full load.
Heavy loads increase stopping distance and reduce
your ability to turn quickly without tipping over.
NEVER tilt the Topdresser Bed for maintenance
with any material in the hopper. Always tilt the top-
dresser bed with a empty hopper.
WARNING
Tipping or rolling the vehicle on a hill will cause
serious injury.
If engine stalls or you lose headway on a hill, never
attempt to turn vehicle around.
Always back straight down a hill in reverse gear.
NEVER back down in neutral or with the clutch
depressed, using only the brakes.
NEVER add sideboards or panels to the top of the
hopper to increase the load capacity. The additional
weight will cause tipping or rolling of the vehicle
and lead to serious injury.
NEVER drive across a steep hill, always drive
straight up or down. Avoid turning on a hill. Don't
“drop the clutch” or slam on the brakes. Sudden
speed change can initiate tipover.
