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.
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 30 feet wide or more for cattle manure and about 20
feet wide for poultry manure.
Plan your spreading pattern 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 previously spread manure.
1. When you are ready to begin spreading application
on the field, slowly engage the tractor PTO clutch
and then increase PTO to operating speed.
2. Open the hydraulic end gate by applying the tractor
hydraulics. This can be done while traveling forward
to avoid a heavier application at the edge of the field
than desired.
3. Once the end gate is open, activate the apron
hydraulics.
4. For standard non flow control systems, regulate the
apron speed with the tractor hydraulic system
adjustable flow control (rabbit/turtle icons).
5. For optional on board flow control with electric control
box, turn the electric control to
“ON” and activate the
tractor hydraulics. Turn the knob CW to increase or
CCW to decrease application rate. Return switch to
“OFF” when spreading is completed, figure 5.
6. For solid manure, start the apron at a slow rate of
speed.
7. Start application onto the field. Increase the speed of
apron chain for a heavier application.
8. NOTICE! Do not feed frozen manure at a rate too
fast. The apron drive can feed faster than the
beaters can expel the material. When frozen
chunks are present, reduce apron speed to
approximately 1/3, to allow the beaters time to grind
the chunks into small pieces.
9. Further control of the application rate is possible
by the relationship of tractor engine speed to
ground speed (transmission gear selection). For
optimum trouble free performance it is
recommended to operate at or near engine PTO
speed.
10. When the spreader is empty, stop the PTO.
11. Shut off the apron, and then close the end gate.
Apron must be shut off BEFORE closing the end
gate to avoid damage.
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
BEFORE unclogging, cleaning, adjusting, lubricating or servicing the unit:
1. Disengage the tractor PTO.
2. Shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and take it with you.
3. Wait for all movement to stop.
4. Remove the Telescoping PTO Drive and ALL power connections from the tractor.
ONLY when you have taken these precautions can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow the
above procedure could lead to death or serious bodily injury.
