PREPARING FOR OPERATION
TRACTION CONNECTIONS
Tractor Hitch
1. The hitch of the Manure Spreader is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the drawbar so
that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground.
2. Extend or shorten it so that the horizontal distance from the end of the tractor power takeoff shaft to
the center of the hitch pin hole is 15-3/4” for 1000 RPM PTO as shown in drawing. An improperly
located hitch point may cause damage to the universal joints of the power takeoff.
3. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line. Fasten the
Manure Spreader to the tractor draw bar with an appropriate hitch pin with safety locking device.
After the connection is made, remove the jack and secure it to the “Storage Position” on the left
side of the Spreader.
If the Manure Spreader is attached to a tractor with
a clevis hitch (hammer-strap) style drawbar, the
hammer-strap must be removed to prevent damage
to the IID guarding and the IID telescoping members.
[See Figure 1]
If the Manure Spreader is attached to a tractor
with an offset in the drawbar, be certain it is
in the down position to prevent damage to the
IID guarding and the IID telescoping members.
[See Figure 2]

PREPARING MANURE SPREADER
Properly lubricate the Manure Spreader, check automatic oiler level, and fill if necessary before operating.
Refer to Lubrication Section of this Operator’s Manual for locations.
If theManure Spreader is going to be operated in freezing temperatures, review and comply with
recommendations in the Operation Chapter, under the Winter Operation section.
Proper operation of a loaded Manure Spreader requires a tractor with sufficient horsepower to run the
PTO and proper size to counterbalance the weight of a loaded Manure Spreader.
