SPREADING MATERIAL 

 
REGULATING SPREAD QUANTITY 

The spreading quantity is adjusted with the tension adjustment lever.  Correct adjustment is 
important.  If the adjustment is too tight, unnecessary wear of the rubber belts or rotating 
parts may occur.  If the adjustment is too slack, distribution of material will be uneven. 

 
Electric Units:

  To ensure the correct rate of drop of material, the operator would adjust the 

tension adjustment lever and ground speed.   

 
STARTING TO SPREAD 

Spreading of material starts as soon as the 

tractor’s PTO, hydraulic

, or electrical system is 

engaged. 

 

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Bauman Manufacturing electric Drop Spreaders include a wiring kit (see page 13 for 
schematic).  It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the motor is wired correctly.  
It is important that the direction the distributor drum rotates matches the rotation arrow in 

Figure A

.  A decal depicting the correct rotation direction has also been positioned near the 

bearings supporting these shafts.
