Problem
Transport/Towing
1. Spreader tending to shunt or bounce in
tractors hitch.
Possible Solution

Check tractors drawbar pin size.
Spreader tongue has been designed for a
1-1/2” (38mm) pin.

Make sure that the load has been placed
evenly in the spreader.
Spinner Operation
1. Spinner Speed Varies during operation
or unable to obtain maximum speed
(1050rpm).

Check that the handle on the flow control
valve, located on the inside of the trailer
frame at the front of the spreader, is in
the open position, handle against the
stop bracket (page 11).

Some variation in spinner speed will
occur when an irregular load is placed on
the spinners i.e. product falling in large
clumps into the spinners.
Spread Pattern
1. Poor spread pattern of product.

Spread pattern variation will occur if the
spinner speed varies excessively.

Correct spinner speed is important and
will effect spread pattern (refer page 18
for suggested speeds).

Centre Vee panel may need to be
removed for certain products (page 10).
2. Difficulties in obtaining width of spread.

Spread width is determined more by the
actual product type than any other
factor. Refer to the ‘Setting Application
Rates’ for more information (page 15).
Tachometer Display
1. Tacho does not display when the
spinners rotate.

Check that the sensor has not been
damaged.

Check that the sensor wire is intact.

Check battery voltage. Post June 2013
uses a replaceable 3.6V AA battery. Pre
June 2013 spreaders use a 3V non
replaceable battery. Please contact your
Gason dealer for further information
regarding spinner tacho repair.
Hydraulic Motors
1. Hydraulic spinner motor leaking oil
around the shaft.

Wipe area clean and run spinner motor
to assess severity of leak.

Replace motor seal using a Gason Seal
Kit (refer spare parts section for correct
kit to order). If shaft is severely worn it
may be necessary to replace the motor.

Install a Vee Seal as primary protection if
replacing the shaft seals. Refer Parts.
