PREPARING FOR OPERATION
TRACTION CONNECTIONS
Tractor Hitch
1. The hitch of the Top Shot 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
Top
Shot
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 Top Shot 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 guard-
ing and the IID telescoping members. [See Figure 1]
If the Top Shot 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]
-15-
15-3/4”
PREPARING TOP SHOT
Properly lubricate the Top Shot, check automatic oiler level, and fill if necessary before operating. Refer
to Lubrication Section of this Operator’s Manual for locations.
If the Top Shot 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 Top Shot
requires a tractor with sufficient horsepower to run the PTO and
proper size to counterbalance the weight of a loaded Top Shot.
