PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Tractor Hitch
Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Remove the
weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from pipe mount and
place on convenient storage mount located on the left front of spreader. This allows protection of jack from
tractor tires during turns. The hitch of the spreader is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the
drawbar so that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. 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 14 inches for 540 PTO
as shown in drawing. An improperly located hitch point may cause damage to the universal joints of the
power takeoff. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line.
TRACTOR CONNECTIONS
If this implement 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
Figure1]
If this implement 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]
PTO
Attach the PTO of the spreader to the tractor by sliding the spring loaded locking collar on PTO yoke
rearward, then sliding it onto the tractor PTO shaft. Release spring-loaded collar. Be sure the pins fall into
the groove of the tractor PTO shaft and collar snaps forward into locking position.
Attach the chain for the back half of the PTO to the manure spreader frame as shown in the picture to
secure the PTO shield. Attach the chain for the front half of the PTO to the tractor drawbar to secure the
PTO shield.
CAUTION: Do not use a steel hammer to aid in joining PTO parts.
