TRACTOR HOOKUP
FIGURE 7. SPREADER HOOK UP
CAUTION
DO NOT USE JACK EXCEPT WHEN SPREADER IS
EMPTY. JACK WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDED
WEIGHT FROM LOAD. UNBALANCED WEIGHT
MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED
“TIP UP” OF THE
SPREADER.
1. Hook the spreader hitch to the tractor drawbar
with 1 3/8” secured hitch pin.
2. Raise the jack off the ground. Remove the jack
hub pin and rotate the jack to horizontal storage
position and secure with the pin, figure 7.
3. Connect the PTO drive shaft to the tractor PTO
output shaft and be sure it is locked to the tractor
shaft.
4. Connect the hydraulic hoses from the
spreader to remote ports on the tractor.
NOTICE! The spreader apron circuit has a check
valve in it so that the apron may not be operated in
the wrong direction. If the hoses are reversed, the
apron will not operate and the hoses should be
switched.
5. If you have an optional on board flow control with
electric control system, plug the twist lock
connectors together. See figure 5.
LOADING
1. Check that the end gate is closed, figure 8. When
the spreader is parked for loading, shift the tractor
to neutral or park and set the brakes. The moisture
content of the manure will determine how full the
spreader can be loaded so that no manure spills
out.
2. You will probably be able to load solid manure at
least level with the top of the box while semi liquid
and liquid slurries will have to be less than full in
the spreader box.
NOTICE! It is unlawful to allow slurry to splash or leak
onto public roads.
