Operating the TURF TIGER Spreader
WARNING! Before proceeding with operation of the spreader, review all safety
statements as provided in Section 1 of this manual.
NOTE:
By definition, the left and right sides of the spreader are determined while sitting on the tractor seat.
For additional operating information on the optional
12VDC Remote Apron Control
, also refer to Appendix
B at the back of this manual.
1.
Load the TURF TIGER spreader according to the guidelines provided in this section.
2.
Determine the desired opening of the adjustable metering endgate (up to 7 inches) according to your
spreading application. Please refer to the
Recommended Settings
charts provided at the end of
this section.
3.
With the tractor at idle, activate the tractor PTO lever.

Guidelines for Loading the TURF TIGER Spreader for Operation
•
Maximum TURF TIGER spreader payload is 7500 pounds.
•
ATTENTION:
NEVER store material in the spreader between unloading times during
critical cold weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage
(i.e. torn floor apron belt). DO NOT store wet material in the spreader (or keep the
spreader outdoors with material in it)--doing so will accelerate rusting of the steel. Be aware
that storing material in the spreader also makes the material difficult to unload (i.e. it may
solidify/harden).
Guidelines for Installing Optional Attachments
•
For the safe handling of TURF TIGER spreader attachments,
wear heavy work gloves
.
•
Millcreek recommends that at least
two people
work together to remove/install attachments;
this will facilitate the lifting, positioning, and bolting of the attachments.
•
Each attachment is bolted onto the rear of the spreader,
two bolts on each side
*. Refer to the
related parts assembly drawings in the Appendixes at the back of the manual.
*NOTE:
The TURF TIGER spreader has three (3) sets of mounting holes (i.e. three holes on each
side at the rear of the unit) for the attachments:
•
The
SaberTooth™
beater, the
Dual Spinners
, and the
Horizontal Conveyor
all use
the
middle and bottom sets
of mounting holes, which have fixed studs for ease of
assembly.
•
The
Brush
attachment mounts differently from the other three and uses the
top and
bottom sets
of mounting holes. Note that the top hole does NOT has a fixed stud and
therefore requires an additional 1/2" bolt (supplied).
•
When installing an optional attachment, lift the attachment into position, being careful to align the
bolts on the spreader with the corresponding holes on the attachment.
