3 & 4
The following is a recommended procedure that
may help if the manure spreader becomes plugged
or the PTO disengages:
1.
Stop the Table Floor
Disengage the hydraulics on that run the table
floor chains and turn off the flow control box.
2.
Lower RPM
After the PTO clutch dis-engages, the RPM has
to be lowered below 500 RPM in order for it to
re-engage.
3.
Reverse the Table Floor Direction
Reverse the hydraulics used to start the table
floor moving in order to back material away
from beaters. Stop table after material is backed
away from beaters or if pile doesn’t move.
4.
Re-start Beaters
Bring beaters back up to regular speed.
5.
Start Table Floor Chain
Re-start the table floor moving again by turning
the hydraulics on in the proper direction.
If this above procedure does not solve the situation,
closer inspection and possible manual unplugging
may be required. Make sure to stop tractor and
wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing or
unplugging.
UNPLUGGING
FREEZING WEATHER OPERATION
• Before loading in freezing weather, make sure the
apron chains and slats are not frozen to the floor,
the spreader beaters are free to rotate and the rear
gate moves freely up and down.
• At end of use, completely empty the last of the
spreader contents. Clean any remaining debris from
the spreader, the main drive, and the rear gate.
• Ensuring area is clear, slowly engage the PTO
& run the spreader for a few minutes to clean out
manure debris and to allow any remaining manure
and the spreader to freeze dry.
• Run rear gate up and down to clean the gate
slides. Park spreader with the gate halfway open.
WARNING
:
Stop tractor engine, place all controls
in neutral, set park brake, remove ignition key and
wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing,
cleaning, adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
