The flywheel and the spout should move as one. If there are stops and starts, this
may be an indication of wear on the bronze slide and it should be replaced
immediately. Failure to do so can create problems to other parts of the spreader.
4.03 - Driveline
DANGER: Only use the original driveline supplied with this machine and always
with safety shielding installed and working properly.
Carefully read and file away
the driveline operator’s manual supplied by the manufacturer. The following does
not substitute the information found in the driveline manual.
IMPORTANT:
Always check driveline length during initial setup and when connecting to
a different tractor.
In the collapsed position the driveline should be approximately 2” from bottoming out to
prevent possible damage to the tractor or implement. When the driveline is in the
maximum extended position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be
approximately 6”
(see fig. 26)
.
If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other
half to the spreader.
