Assembly Instructions
Assembly
(See Fig. 1)
1. Begin assembly by sliding the threaded bushing (#6) through the bottom center hole of the hopper. Fasten
the mobile shutter (#44) to it with the nut (#43). Make sure the slots in the mobile shutter are facing away
from the bottom of the hopper. Tighten the nut securely.
2. Bolt the guard (#11) to the frame (#10) with the M8 x 16 (#12) bolts, M8 washers (#8) and M8 hex nuts
(#9).
3. Slide the Spinner disc (#42) and the hopper with mobile shutter attached, over the gearbox shaft. Secure
the spinner disc in place with the
‘ R ’ pin (#39) and secure the rear of the hopper to the square tubing sec-
tion of the frame (#10) using the M8 x 40 carriage bolt (#7), M8 washer (#8) and M8 hex nut (#9).
4. Secure the agitator (#3) to the output shaft using the M6 x 30 bolt (#4) , M6 flat washer (#25) M6 lock nut
(#5).
5. Place the distributor shield (#2) inside the hopper (#1) and fasten with the two M8 x 20 carriage bolts
(#46), M8 washers (#8) and M8 hex nuts (#9) that connect the sides of the frame to the hopper.
6. Slide the flow control assembly (#16) into the slot of the mobile shutter #(44) and fasten to the guard (#11)
with the adjustment knob (#17) and M6 washer (#5).
7. The wheel hubs are offset and are mounted on the shaft (#24) with the long end (the end with the hole) to
the inside. Slide one of the wheels over the left side, a washer #(27) and secure it in place with the
’ R ’ clip
pin (#41). Slide on the right wheel, and then hold it in place with the bolt (#23) sliding through the hole in
the hub and the hole in the shaft. Secure it in place with the nut (#5). Place the washer (#27) and the
’ R ’
clip (#41) on the outside of the right wheel.
8. Attach the drawbar tongue (#47) to the square tubing of the frame utilizing the right plate (#14) and left
plate (#15) and the M8 x 40 bolts (#12), M8 washers (#8) and M8 nuts (#9). Select the hole in plate (#14)
that allows the spreader to run parallel to the ground. The correct hole will depend on the hitch height of
the towing unit. Repeat for other side. Attach plates (#18 & #19) by sliding the round stock ends of these
two plates through the tubes that are welded to the ends of the tongue. Bolt the outer end to the frame (the
two plated should be angled upwards with the stock ends pointed inwards after they are bolted.
9. Tighten all hardware to proper torque specifications. Refer to “ Torque Specification Chart ” on page 21.
