SECTION 3: OPERATION
Understanding Spreader Operation
Proper and safe operation of the Millcreek 57G/77G Spreader requires: (1) being familiar with the spreader's
operating components and (2) heeding all safety precautions as stated in this manual.
The Spreader Operating Components
By definition, the left and right sides of the spreader are determined while sitting on the tractor seat
(i.e. as an operator sits on the tractor seat, the right side of the spreader is over his/her right shoulder, the left
side of the spreader is over his/her left shoulder).
The following operating components are included with the Standard Model 57G/77G spreaders:
• The adjustable, feather-touch Spreader Operating Lever is used to control the operation of the
spreader; it engages the chain that drives both the beaters and the apron chain to push the manure
toward the back of the spreader for disbursement. Pushing DOWN on the operating lever engages
operation (ON), while pulling UP disengages operation (OFF).
• The swing-away jack facilitates hook-up of the spreader to the tractor.
• The T-rod apron chain provides reliable material movement in the spreader load after load.
Optional operating components (ordered separately) for the Model 57G/77G include:
• The manual endgate helps to contain loads between spreading and also shields the operator during
spreading.
• The fines pan aids in distributing fine materials (e.g. compost) evenly.
• The safety chain , which is strongly recommended for use when the spreader is transported on a
public roadway.
Guidelines for Loading the Spreader for Operation
• Millcreek recommends that you load the spreader from the front toward the back to
facilitate easier unloading.
• ATTENTION: NEVER store manure 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 chain).
• DO NOT store wet manure in the spreader (or keep the spreader outdoors with manure in it)--
doing so will accelerate rusting of the steel.
