=
Reverse your towing vehicle up to your spreader and couple the ball hitch to the vehicle making
sure that the ball hitch is locked on securely. If your spreader has a ring hitch ensure that the
pin is secured with a lynch pin.
SETTING UP YOUR SPREADER
=
Ensure that the spinning disk is set as level as possible with the ground. This can be adjusted
on the drawbar on the trailed version, or on the top link on the tractor version. Before
spreading read the full instructions of the spreader.
HOPPER LOADING & TRANSPORT
=
Only load hopper when machine is hitched to the towing vehicle or coupled to the tractor.
=
Do not load above the hopper rim.
=
Do not stack full bags of material on top of a loaded spreader, as this will compact the material
and affect the flow when spreading.
=
When travelling and not spreading disengage the drive pin in the axle, this is a quick release
pin at the right hand side of the gearbox.
MAINTENANCE
Regularly
=
Inspect the spinner disk as an unbalance disk will cause vibration.
=
Always clean thoroughly using a Pressure Washer after use, as fertiliser and salt are corrosive
materials.
=
Regularly grease the P.T.O. shaft, ball hitch and the axle of the trailed version.
=
Never store machine with material in the hopper.
