SET-UP & ASSEMBLY
PREPARING MANURE SPREADER
The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires installed.
1. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to
the appropriate torque. The wheel bolts must be tightened at 100 ft./lbs. of torque on the 3156,
and 300 ft./lbs. of torque on the 3166.
2. Check the tires and inflate them to the recommended pressure
3156/3166 - 425/65R-22.5 tires to 85 psi.
3156 - optional 600/50x22.5 tires to 38 psi.
3. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened.
4. Securely retighten after a few hours of operation, as bolts can loosen up on new machinery.
5. Lubricate the machine completely, check the oil level of the gearbox, fill if necessary.
TRANSPORT LIGHTING & REFLECTORS
When transporting on the highway, connect the spreader
to the tractor with a lighting power cord.
The lighting
system is to be connected to the 7 pin power receptacle
(per SAEJ560B) on your tractor. If your tractor is not
equipped with the proper receptacle, see your tractor dealer
for details.
Make sure lights are functioning properly.
Regularly clean the reflective tape at the rear of the
spreader. There is a holder provided for your SMV sign.
TRANSPORTING
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing farm
equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.
Check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Unless otherwise prohibited,
use a slow-moving vehicle emblem. Never tow the manure spreader on a public highway at a speed
greater than 20 m.p.h. (32 kph).
1. Chain is sufficiently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the manure spreader,
without placing tension on the chain.
2. Chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.
Note: Determine right and left side of spreader by viewing it from the rear. If instructions
or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to Cap Screw Torque Value page to identify.
