4.4 LOADING THE LOAD BOX
Before loading, check that the load box slide gate is closed. Before loading, position the
manure spreader connected properly with the tractor on level and stable surface. Immobilise
both machines with parking brake.
When loading the manure spreader, it is recommended to use an appropriate loader or
conveyor. If loading is carried out by a loader with bucket forks, the width of bucket forks
should not exceed the load box length. Bucket forks should be emptied by tilting when
positioned not higher than 1 meter above the load box height. Manure should not be
artificially compacted. When loading, pay attention not to overload the manure spreader.
Height of loaded manure must not exceed the height of the spreader unit mechanism.
In order to ensure optimum spreading, efforts should be made to evenly distribute the load in
the load box. Manure should be loaded starting from the rear and moving towards the front of
the manure spreader. Such loading method has positive impact on quality of manure
spreading.
Due to the various density of fertilizing materials, using the total load box capacity may cause
exceeding permissible carrying capacity of the manure spreader. Guideline specific weight of
selected materials is shown in table (4.1). Take care not to overload the manure spreader.

Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to secure it in such a manner that
the load is unable to spread and cause contamination of the road. If this is impossible, do
NOT transport this type of load.
