3-3

Operating the TURF TIGER Spreader

WARNING!  Before proceeding with operation of the spreader, review all safety
statements as provided in Section 1 of this manual.

NOTE:

  By definition, the left and right sides of the spreader are determined while sitting on the tractor seat.

For additional operating information on the optional 

12VDC Remote Apron Control

, also refer to Appendix

B at the back of this manual.

1.

Load the TURF TIGER spreader according to the guidelines provided in this section.

2.

Determine the desired opening of the adjustable metering endgate (up to 7 inches) according to your
spreading application.  Please refer to the 

Recommended Settings

 charts provided at the end of

this section.

3.

With the tractor at idle, activate the tractor PTO lever.

4.

For best results, run the tractor throttle at the 540 rpm PTO shaft speed.

(procedure continued on next page)

Guidelines for Loading the TURF TIGER Spreader for Operation

Maximum TURF TIGER spreader payload is 7500 pounds.

ATTENTION:

  NEVER store material in the spreader between unloading times during

critical cold weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage
(i.e. torn floor apron belt).  DO NOT store wet material in the spreader (or keep the
spreader outdoors with material in it)--doing so will accelerate rusting of the steel.   Be aware
that storing material in the spreader also makes the material difficult to unload (i.e. it may
solidify/harden).

Guidelines for Installing Optional Attachments

For the safe handling of TURF TIGER spreader attachments, 

wear heavy work gloves

.

Millcreek recommends that at least 

two people

 work together to remove/install attachments;

this will facilitate the lifting, positioning, and bolting of the attachments.

Each attachment is bolted onto the rear of the spreader, 

two bolts on each side

*.  Refer to the

related parts assembly drawings in the Appendixes at the back of the manual.

*NOTE: 

 The TURF TIGER spreader has three (3) sets of mounting holes (i.e. three holes on each

side at the rear of the unit) for the attachments:

The 

SaberTooth™

 beater, the 

Dual Spinners

, and the 

Horizontal Conveyor 

all use

the 

middle and bottom sets

 of mounting holes, which have fixed studs for ease of

assembly.

The 

Brush

 attachment mounts differently from the other three and uses the 

top and

bottom sets

 of mounting holes.  Note that the top hole does NOT has a fixed stud and

therefore requires an additional 1/2" bolt (supplied).

When installing an optional attachment, lift the attachment into position, being careful to align the
bolts on the spreader with the corresponding holes on the attachment.
