For connection of the spreader to the vehicle, follow these steps:
With vehicle and spreader on level ground, back vehicle in front of spreader and shut-off
engine and set parking brake.
Note: it is necessary to have a 1-7/8” ball on the back of the tow vehicle.
Make sure hopper is empty, lift coupling and set onto tow ball of vehicle.
Note: use two people if necessary to make alignment easier.
Latch coupler onto ball, check to makes sure latching mechanism is holding tight and is fully
in latched position, if not, adjust coupler so attachment is correct.
Hitch coupler arm should be level within 2° of hitch, if not, correct hitch height on vehicle.
Finally check all connections including ball mount, coupler, and for security add pin to
coupler lock.

Always test the kg/ha that you wish to spread before starting work
Use a fertilizer or other material in perfect conditions: humid material may not spread
uniformly or correctly
Avoid spreading during windy days, to improve uniform distribution.
The spread material must always be stored properly to maintain its physical properties, do
not keep material in hopper for long periods of time.
It is necessary to determine the speed of the centrifugal spreader, before starting the
operation of distribution, to stay within possible limits and try to keep consistent for the
duration of the spread area
Improper leveling of spreader can cause poor spreading as well as poor trailer control.

NOTE: it is not possible to have an exact spreading chart for spreaders using centrifugal
force for spreading, given that the distribution quantity depends on the feed speed,
radius of distribution, humidity, size and weight of material, and the roughness of the
terrain. The spreading chart contains general information and is not to be relied upon as
accurate settings but as a starting point for near perfect conditions, in order to
determine the quantity of spread in the field, settings must be completed by an
experienced and competent operator.
