OPERATION
CAUTION
DO NOT USE JACK EXCEPT WHEN SPREADER IS
EMPTY. JACK WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDED WEIGHT
FROM LOAD. UNBALANCED WEIGHT MAY RESULT
IN UNEXPECTED “TIP UP” OF THE SPREADER.
DANGER
NEVER ENTER THE SPREADER BOX FOR ANY
REASON WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING PTO
SHAFT FROM TRACTOR. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS
IN THE BOX. ROTATING BEATER CAN DISMEMBER
OR KILL.
LOADING
1. If you have an optional hydraulic end gate or fine
spread pan, be sure they are closed, Figure 6 and
FIGURE 8. When the spreader is parked for loading,
shift the tractor to neutral or park and set the brakes.
The moisture content of the manure will determine how
full the spreader can be loaded so that no manure spills
out.
2. You will probably be able to load solid manure at
least level with the top of the box while semi liquid and
liquid slurries will have to be less than full in the
spreader box.
NOTE: It is unlawful to allow slurry to splash or leak on-
to public roads.
UNLOADING
WARNING
MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF EQUIP-
MENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO
HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJU-
RY OR DEATH.
DANGER
KEEP AWAY AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF RO-
TATING BEATERS AT REAR OF SPREADER. SERI-
OUS INJURY OR AMPUTATION COULD RESULT.
1. The rear beaters have been designed and tested to
provide the best spread pattern for most liquids and
semi solid manure. However, the pattern will vary for
each specific condition. The factors that contribute most
to differing patterns will be moisture content and the
amount and length of bedding material. For most typical
conditions, the spread pattern should be uniform and
about the width of the spreader. Plan your spreading
patterns so you do not have to travel over previously
spread manure which will be slippery, resulting in poor
traction. Traction on wet grass is also poor. When the
resulting pattern may require that you overlap during
spreading, use precautions on slopes and hills where
you will experience a loss of traction by traveling over
ground with previously spread manure.
2. Perform the following operations when you are
ready to begin spreading application on the field, de-
pending on the options your spreader is equipped with.
Hydraulic Apron Drive
1. Turn hydraulic power on with tractor hydraulic con-
trol and then start the apron chain. This is done from
the tractor by turning the flow control clockwise, locat-
ed at the front of the spreader. This control is operated
from the tractor by twisting the “hose control”, Figure 7.
“OFF” is when this control is rotated fully CCW. For
solid manure, start the apron at a slow rate of speed.
Start application onto the field. Increase speed of
apron chain for a heavier application.
2. There is a tension screw that can be adjusted to
regulate the force required to operate the flow control
valve, see Figure 3 or Figure 4.
3. Further control of the application rate is possible by
changing ground speed (transmission gear selection).
For optimum trouble free performance it is recom-
mended to operate at or near engine PTO speed.
4. When the spreader is unloaded, or when the ma-
nure level is below the beater, it is possible to stop the
beater by disengaging the PTO on the tractor. This al-
lows the spreader apron to continue without the beat-
ers running for clean out.
5. When the spreader is empty, stop the PTO and
then stop the apron chain so there is no chain slat un-
der the hydraulic end gate, FIGURE 8. Then close the
end gate.
Optional Fine Spread Pan
If the pan is left closed, the spread pattern will be thin-
ner, more even, and narrower than normal. If normal
spreading is desired, trip the pan by pulling the rope
control immediately after beginning the spread applica-
tion, see Figure 6.
