Hydraulic Apron, Speed Control Options
Standard Flow Control
:
The standard system utilizes the tractor’s flow control. This system requires that the tractor
have an adjustable flow control lever or knob. There is no adjustable flow control valve on
the spreader with this option. However, the valve on the spreader regulates and limits the
flow to the hydraulic motor.
Manual Flow Control
: The manual flow control option has an adjustable flow control valve on the spreader. Flow is
adjusted by twisting the “control hose” from the tractor cab. The tractor end of this hose is
fitted with a handle. Turn CW to increase flow, turn CCW to decrease flow, referencing the
speed indicator at the front of the spreader. Use the set screw on the valve to adjust tension
or retain settings.
Electric Flow Control
: The electric flow control option has an electro-proportional valve on the spreader. Flow is
adjusted using a control box from the tractor cab. Plug control box into a 12 VDC power
source, flip switch to “ON”, and use the rate control knob to adjust hydraulic flow. The valve
is normally closed and requires power to open. The valve is equipped with a manual override
in case of electrical issues. To manually open the valve, remove the acorn nut located on the
valve, and turn the override screw in. This valve is also used in conjunction with automatic
rate controller options.
UNHOOKING FROM TRACTOR
1. Park the spreader, set tractor parking brake, and turn off all power.
2. Park your spreader on level ground and place blocks ahead of and behind the wheels.
3. Remove jack pin and move to vertical position, raise jack until hitch is not resting on tractor drawbar.
4. DO NOT UNHITCH A LOADED SPREADER LEAVING IT SUPPORTED BY ONLY THE JACK!
5. Disconnect the PTO shaft, hydraulic hoses, electrical plug, and safety chain. Remove pin.
