12 Ton Spreader OM
Set-up and Operation
Engaging the Apron(s)
The apron is engaged from the controls in the tractor
cab. Hydraulic valves on the tractor need to be activated.
Ensure valves are set to continuous flow.
IMPORTANT:
When spreader is not in use, or to avoid
unintended application, turn off hydraulic
flow from tractor.
IMPORTANT:
For F1210 models with dual apron drive,
make sure both aprons are engaged
when performing a spread test. See
“One Section and Two Section Spreading
(F1210 Models Only)” on page 31 for
information.
Spreading Speed and Interval
Speed
When spreading for a test pattern and for the final field
application, maintain a speed of 3-8 mph.
Driving Interval
Test Pattern Interval:
Driving interval is 40-90 ft.
(12.19 m - 27.43 m), depending on machine, to maintain
an accurate spreader constant and spread pattern.
Field Application Interval:
Determine optimum driving
interval by following the steps below.
NOTE:
The spreader is designed to spread the
material 40-90 ft. (12.19 m - 27.43 m)
to each side of center, giving a double
coverage for a uniform application. The
application chart is based on 40-90 ft.
(12.19 m - 27.43 m) driving intervals, not the
actual spread width. However, a slight change
in driving distance or spinner RPM may be
beneficial for optimum coverage.
1. Make sure all spread pattern adjustments are
complete, and a spread pattern test has been
produced following the “Spread Pattern Test”
instructions found on page 24.
2. From the Spread Pattern Test Results Sheet found
on page 26, determine the maximum (cc) volume
value of material in center of pattern.
3. Divide this value by two.
4. Locate the distance from the zero foot mark
(centerline of driving path) where the graph intersects
this (cc) value.
5. Multiply this distance by two to determine the
optimum driving interval.
Even if the pattern has an acceptable shape, optimum
driving interval may be too small for practical field
use. If this is the case, the spreader must be adjusted
to produce the best possible pattern shape with an
acceptable driving interval.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the rated gross
weight of the spreader.
