The PTS Series Broadcast Spreader will need to be
assembled before it can be attached to the customer’s
tractor. Read and understand this Operator’s Manual
before assembling the spreader. An understanding of
how the unit works will aid in the assembly and setup.
Hitch Requirements
The PTS series spreaders are pull-type models with a
2" ball receiver hitch.
Torque Requirements
Refer to “Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes”
on page 24 to determine correct torque values when
tightening hardware.
Grease Zerks
Refer to Figure 1-1:
1. Make a mark of your choosing on the right-hand end
plate to help during assembly and set-up.
2. After marking the right-hand end plate, turn base
frame (#2) upside down and place on a work table to
make assembly and set-up easier.
3. Screw grease zerks (#1) into axle support tubes until
tight.

NOTE: Grease zerks (#3) may be screwed in too
far and interfere with installation of axles (#2 & #4)
to gearbox input shafts. Unscrew grease zerks
slightly if they interfere with installation.
4. Slide flat washer (#1) onto drive axle (#2) and insert
axle into axle hub “A” on the right-hand end plate.
Push axle all the way in before continuing.
5. Insert floating axle (#4) into axle hub “B” on the
left-hand end plate.
6. Position gearbox (#5) with grease decal visible from
the back and output shaft pointing towards the
rectangular tubing frame. Insert left-hand input shaft
into end of floating axle (#4).
7. Attach drive axle (#2) to gearbox (#5) with wire
retaining pin (#6). Make sure wire retainer is caught
over end of pin to keep pin from falling out.
8. Attach gearbox to mounting plate “C” with four M10 x
100 (2") cap screws (#8) and hex
locknuts (#9). Tighten locknuts to the correct torque.
9. Slide washer (#1) against hub “A” and install
5mm x 40mm (3/16" x 1 9/16") roll pin (#7).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORCE ALIGNMENT OF
GEARBOX. Holes in plate “C” should line up with
gearbox holes without forcing gearbox into position.
If they do not align, Ream holes in plate “C” until it
takes no pressure for alignment.
