PB-74/7500

Serial Number SV117400402 thru SV127500242, the
shear plate sprocket is set up with the standard drive
bolts being 1/2”-13 (see Figure 6). If the 1/2”-13 bolts
do shear, replace with the same 1/2-13” course thread
bolts after the obstruction has been removed. Install
the new bolts in the proper way as to drive off of

the

head

of the bolt, not the nut.

Shear or sprocket

failure will occur if assembled incorrectly!

1/2”-20

fine thread bolts are available if additional shear
strength is needed due to shear bolt failure from extra
tough material that is being spread.

CHANGING TO

THE 1/2”-20 BOLTS PROVIDES LESS
PROTECTION FOR THIS EQUIPMENT.

Recommended procedure to follow if shear does
occur. If only one auger shears unload the opposite
side of spreader and remove obstruction from sheared
side of machine. After obstruction has been removed
install new shear bolts in sheared auger and unload
the remainder of the load. If both sides do shear install
only one set of auger shear bolts and unload one side
at a time. After first side is unloaded install bolts in
opposite side and unload the remainder of the
spreader. If a second shear has happened without
obstruction in the auger, install the next larger size
shear bolt. As the shear bolt size is increased the
protection on the machine is going to decrease. The
potential for equipment damage is greater.

Order replacement bolts and nuts from the chart
below.

STORAGE AFTER USE

WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE

SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES BEFORE
CLEANING, ADJUSTING, OR SERVICING THIS
MACHINE. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Before storing this spreader for an extended period of
time perform the following:

Allow the spreader to completely clean out the last
load. Thoroughly hose off all manure from the outside
of the spreader and the inside of the box, particularly
getting the flow control rear gate mechanism clean.
The wash water can be drained into your manure
storage pit, or if the gate is left closed, the water can
be spread on the field. After cleaning, completely
lubricate the entire spreader to exclude moisture from
bearings and to prevent condensation from forming
during storage. See LUBRICATION on pages 26 - 28.

Apply oil to roller chain drives. It is also a good time to
inspect all adjustments and check for parts that need
repair or replacement. Performing these tasks now will
guarantee that the spreader is ready for use at the
beginning of the next season.
