OPERATION
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.
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.
LOADING
1. Be sure the hydraulic end gate is closed, Figure 5.
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
onto public roads.
UNLOADING
DANGER
Keep away and keep others clear of rotating beaters at
rear of spreader. Serious injury or amputation could
result.
WARNING
Make certain everyone is clear of equipment before
applying power. Failure to heed may result in serious
personal injury or death.
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.
HYDRAULIC APRON DRIVE OPERATION
1. Turn hydraulic power on with tractor hydraulic
control and then start the apron chain. This is done
from the tractor by turning the flow control
clockwise, located at the front of the spreader. This
control is operated from the tractor by twisting the
“hose control”, Figure 2. “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.
3. Further control of the application rate is possible by
changing ground speed (transmission gear
selection). For optimum trouble free performance it
is recommended to operate at or near engine PTO
speed.
4. When the spreader is unloaded, or when the
manure level is below the beater, it is possible to
stop the beater by disengaging the PTO on the
tractor. This allows the spreader apron to continue
without the beaters 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
under the hydraulic end gate, Figure 5. Then close
the end gate.
