Model 180 & 181 Manure Spreader Safety Notice
Attention: Owners of Patz Model 180 and Model 181 Manure Spreaders.
Danger!
Patz Model 180 and 181 Manure Spreaders were manufactured and sold from 1967 to 1984 complete with adequate guarding. However, several serious injuries and deaths have occurred recently as a result of the operation of these manure spreaders without the original guards in place.
Do not operate Patz Model 180 and 181 Manure Spreaders without all Patz designed guards in place.
If your Patz Model 180 or 181 Manure Spreader is not completely guarded as indicated on the reverse side of this notice, immediately contact your Patz dealer to obtain replacement guards.
Even with all guards in place, Patz Manure Spreaders, like all power driven machinery, must be operated with care. Before dismounting tractor, shift to "PARK" and/or set brakes securely and stop tractor engine. Wait for all movement to stop before servicing machinery.
