APRON SPEED AND BEATER CONTROL
One cable controls the beater and apron drive two speed gearbox. To compensate for wear or stretching
of this cable, adjust the turnbuckle behind shield at left hand front of spreader.
Refer to drawing at right to properly adjust manure
spreader. Position speed control in HI Speed.
Measurement (A) is 2-1/2 inches.
This is factory set and should not be changed. Do not
move bracket or collar on control rod. The distance
between collar and face of gearbox should be as
follows for the different speeds: (distance B)
LO Speed: 0” (tight against gearbox)
HI Speed: 7/16 -1/2”
CLEAN OUT: 3/4-1 1/16”
If collar on control rod does not pull tight to gearbox
in LO Speed, after HI Speed has been properly ad -
justed, apply more tension to return spring behind
shield at right hand front of spreader. To adjust spring,
hook end of spring one chain link shorter on spring
attaching chain.
DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust the main drive chain, loosen the three
bolts holding the front center panel on to the
spreader. Slide the panel toward the right side
of the spreader until the proper tension on chain
is reached. There should be 1/2” deflection at
the center of the drive chain when it is properly
adjusted. Retighten the bolts holding the front
panel. Overtightening or too loose of a chain will
result in excessive wear on the bearings, chain
and sprockets.
