SECTION 2: OPERATION
Understanding Spreader Operation
Proper and safe operation of the Millcreek 27+/37+ Spreader requires: (1) being familiar with the spreader's
operating components and (2) heeding all safety precautions as stated in this manual.
Connecting the Spreader to the Towing Vehicle
For operation in the field, the Millcreek Model 27+/37+ spreaders can be towed by a number of vehicles--
garden tractor, ATV, utility vehicle or standard tractor. Please adhere to the following procedure for
connecting the spreader to your towing vehicle. Attaching the spreader to the towing vehicle as instructed
is necessary for safe and proper operation of the equipment.
The Spreader Operating Components
By definition, the left and right sides of the spreader are determined while sitting on the tractor seat.
The following operating components are included with all Model 27+/37+ spreaders:
•
The lefthand spreader lever engages the floor apron chain which moves the manure to the
rear of the spreader and into the beater.
•
The righthand spreader lever engages the chain that drives the beater and spreads the
manure.
The following are optional operating components included with some Model 27+/37+ spreaders (depending on
the specific model configuration ordered):
•
The dollywheel/jack allows easy movement of the spreader around the stable or barn; also adjusts
the height of the spreader to facilitate hook-up to the spreader towing vehicle.
•
The endgate helps to contain loads between spreading and also shields the operator during
spreading.
ATTENTION
:
Do not use a 3-point hitch drawbar on a tractor
. Use of a 3-point drawbar is highly
likely to damage the spreader hitch and will void the warranty on the hitch. Use the standard straight
drawbar instead.
