OPERATING THE SPREADER
When the spreader has been correctly calibrated, the hopper may be filled to the required level and
spreading commenced.
To reduce agitator damage to product and to ensure that product is not forced past the agitator shaft when
towing the spreader to the area to be treated, the drive to the gearbox should be disconnected by removing
the pin from the drive axle.
WARNING
To prevent damage to the spreader do not tow the spreader at speeds in
excess of 15 Kph during spreading or transit.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the shutter while the spreader is in transit it is recommended that the
adjustable stop pin be moved to the rear-most hole.
To prevent the shutter from vibrating closed when the spreader is operated over rough ground, the control
handle friction may be increased by tightening the two adjustment nuts at either end of the index plate.
WARNING
Due to the nature of Magnesium Oxide it is
not
recommended that the spreader be filled
with product if the spreader is to be towed a large distance to the paddock, as the product
will pack down and could potentially damage the agitator.
