General Operation
The apron and attachment functions on the spreader are driven hydraulically by the hydraulic pump
run by the tractor PTO.
The spreader is equipped with a hydraulic manifold with precision hydraulic valves (Figure 4) to fine-
tune both the attachment and apron chain speed to accommodate a wide range of spread patterns,
material density and much more. To change the settings, raise the glass cover and rotate the knobs to
the desired position.
The metering gate in the rear can be adjusted manually from 0-13” to control the depth of material
flowing out onto the attachment. It is adjusted by turning the end gate wheel (Figure 5) to the desired
position and engaging the spring loaded lock pin. Turn the wheel clockwise to raise the gate and
counter-clockwise to lower it.

Lock Pin
The remote floor shut off switch (Figure 5) is
used to temporarily stop the apron chain while
the spinners are still rotating. This feature is
used when the operator makes a turn or pass-
es through an area where no material is to be
spread.
