7.0 OPERATION
7.1 LOADING
NOTE: Heaping material over the sides of the box will add a significant amount of weight to the load.
NOTE: To prevent damage to spinners and drivelines, foreign objects (stones, concrete, timber, metal or large
frozen chunks of manure) should never be loaded into the spreader.
Before loading, especially in freezing weather, make sure the augers and spinners are free to rotate and the rear gate
moves freely up and down.
When the spreader is parked for loading, shift the tractor to neutral or park and set the brakes.
DO NOT allow anyone to operate, service, inspect or otherwise
handle this spreader until all operators have read and understand all
of the instructional materials in this Operator’s and Parts Manual and
have been properly trained in its intended usage.
Before operating the spreader, look in all directions and make sure
no bystanders, especially small children are in the work area.
Do not climb or step on any part of the spreader at any time.
Turn on level ground. Slow down when turning.
Go up and down slopes, not across them.
Keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.
Do not overload the machine.
Check for adequate traction.
Shutoff and lockout power before performing machine service,
adjusting, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine.
Refer to section 5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER.
Do not use the jack except when the implement is empty. The jack will
not support added weight. Unbalanced weight may result in
unexpected “TIP UP” of the implement.
Overloading may cause failure of axles, tires, structural members,
hitches, loss of vehicle control. DO NOT exceed maximum gross
weight.
This machine is not intended to be a bale grinder, hay chopper or
bedding machine. Failure to comply may damage the drivetrain and
void the warranty.
Filling the spreader evenly from the front to rear will ensure there is
downward force on the tractor hitch and provide traction for the
tractor wheels.
It is unlawful to allow manure to splash or leak onto public roads.
