DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust front drive chain, loosen jam nut turn nut on adjusting
rod (located at the right hand front side of spreader) clockwise.
There should be 1/2” deflection at the center of the drive chain.
Overtightening or too loose of a chain will result in excessive
wear on the bearing, chain and sprockets. Retighten jam nut.

ADJUSTMENTS
APRON SPEED AND BEATER CONTROL
One cable controls both the beater clutch and two speed
clutch. To compensate for wear or stretching of this cable,
adjust the turnbuckle behind shield at the front of the
spreader.

WHEEL HUBS
To adjust wheel hubs, tighten the castellated nut on
the spindle to the point where there is no end-play
and a slight drag on the bearings. Replace the cotter
key with a new one of the correct size.
SPREADING - WITH OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC DRIVE
1. Engage tractor PTO shaft slowly. Beater is always in the engaged position, therefore, engaging
tractor PTO will automatically start beater.
2. Raise the hydraulic tailgate.
3. Open hydraulic valve on tractor connected to speed control valve on manure spreader.
4. Control speed of apron by turning speed control handle clockwise to increase speed, counter-
clockwise to decrease speed.
5. When the manure spreader is almost empty, the bed can be cleaned out by disengaging tractor
PTO (which will stop beater), and increasing apron speed by turning control handle clockwise,
thus saving unnecessary driving time.
OPERATION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS WILL VOID WARRANTY
