TRACTOR HOOKUP
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.
NOTICE: This spreader comes standard with a hammer
strap hitch. The tractor drawbar must be equipped with a
hammer strap and use a 2” pin.
1. Hook spreader hitch to
drawbar and secure with 2”
pin. The 2 hydraulic hoses which power the jack may
be connected to raise or lower the spreader hitch as
needed.
2. Connect the PTO drive shaft to the tractor PTO
output shaft. Verify it is locked.
3. Connect all hydraulic hoses from the spreader to the
remote ports on the tractor.
4. Connect the 12V electrical plug to the tractor.
5. Board tractor and raise the jack to its uppermost
position before moving.
NOTICE! The input line for spreader apron motor has a
check valve in it so that the apron cannot be operated
in the wrong direction. If the hoses are reversed, the
apron will not operate and the hoses should be switched.
LOADING
Check that the end gate is fully closed. Figure 8. When the
spreader is parked for loading, shift tractor into neutral and
set the brakes. When loading, take the type of manure into
consideration. The moisture content of the manure will
determine how full the spreader can be loaded so that no
manure spills out.
You may 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.
