LOADING
In freezing weather, make certain that hydraulic tail gate (if equipped with one) is not frozen to the sides
or on the floor of the spreader. Make sure the apron chain is not frozen to the spreader floor or any lumps
of manure are frozen to the floor. Begin loading the spreader at the front end and work toward the rear
until loading is completed. Loading this way permits the material to be spread uniformly. Loading front to
rear is particularly important when the spreader is loaded by a mechanical loader because this type of
load requires more power to spread than others loads. When hauling extremely heavy materials with a
large portion of dirt, it may be necessary to reduce the load size to prevent excessive shear bolt
breakage. Never dump material onto the beater. Do not use extra sideboards. Do not overload spreader.
Overloading decreases spreading effectiveness. Do not load more than 15 inches above the beater.
SPREADING
NOTE: Two speed apron drive and beater engage/disengage mechanisms are contained in a single
gearbox at the rear of spreader. This gearbox is controlled by one rope leading to the tractor.
1. Make sure that the gear box is in the “low” position, with the shifter dog all the way to the “low” side of
the indicator slot.
2. Raise the hydraulic endgate (if so equipped).
3. Throttle tractor down, engage PTO, then increase the throttle to 540 RPM’s and begin moving.
4. The apron speed may be increased from 4-1/2 fpm to 8-1/2 fpm (at 540 RPM) by pulling once on the
control rope until the shifter stops and locks into the “high speed” position. The beater will continue to
operate in this position.
5. When the spreader is almost empty, the bed can be cleaned out by again, pulling once on the control
rope until the shifter dog locks into the “clean-out/beater disengaged” position. The beater will stop,
and the apron will continue to run in the “high” speed position, thus saving unloading time.
6. When spreader is empty, SHUT OFF PTO. With the PTO off, pull the control rope once again and
release it. The shifter will return to the “low” position, ready to begin unloading the next load.
DO NOT SHIFT FROM CLEAN OUT TO LOW POSITION WITH THE PTO RUNNING.
7. NEVER operate the spreader with a PTO speed greater than 540 RPM.
