OPERATION
LOADING
Park the spreader for loading. Put the truck in PARK or NEUTRAL and apply the parking brake.
Make sure the sliding front gate is all the way to the front of the spreader and close the hydraulic rear gate
before loading.
It is unlawful to allow any manure spillage to occur on public roadways. Be sure rear gate is fully closed and
sliding gate scrapers are adjusted so no liquid leakage occurs. Do not heap load such that manure is allowed
to fall off spreader during transporting on roadways.
Load the spreader. The moisture content will determine how full it can be loaded. See SPECIFICATIONS for
capacity. Solid manure can generally be loaded level to slightly heaped. High moisture slurries are heavier
and loading may be limited.
