CONTROLS
OPERATING THE BEATER
To start beater, engage PTO lever slowly, at low engine rpm.
To stop beater, disengage PTO. (See your tractor’s Operator’s Manual)
For best spreading results, operate the tractor engine at “PTO RATED” speed.
Do not operate the apron chain without running the beaters as this may damage the spreader.
OPERATING THE ENDGATE
Contact of apron chain running with endgate
closed will cause damage. To avoid contact with
apron chain, endgate must be raised when running.
Operate the endgate with the second auxiliary
control valve lever.
OPERATING APRON CHAIN
To run apron chain lock hydraulic control lever in operating
position on tractor.
See your tractor’s operating manual for information on how to
control flow rates of your hydraulic system.
Maximum hydraulic oil flow through the spreader apron chain
motor is 15 gpm. Trying to force through more oil than this may
cause serious damage to motor (relief factory set at 1250 psi)
