Operating the Model 3100 Engine Drive Topdresser
The operation of the Model 3100 Engine Drive topdresser is very similar to the operation of the Model 3100/
3200 PTO-driven units. Refer to
Section 3, Operation & Adjustment , in the Millcreek Operator's
Manual (MC Part# 43827) for pertinent instructions, as well as the following procedure, which pertains
specifically to the Engine Drive unit.
WARNING! Before proceeding with operation of the topdresser, review all safety
statements as provided in Section 1 of the Millcreek Operator's Manual, as well as
in this bulletin and in the Engine Owner's Manual supplied with the unit.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury, ensure that ALL safety shields are in place on the
spreader before starting operation. NEVER operate the spreader without ALL safety shields in place.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury and/or equpiment damage, DO NOT exceed 10 mph
when transporting a loaded spreader.
1. Load the spreader according to the guidelines provided in the Millcreek Operator's Manual.
2. Determine the desired opening of the adjustable metering endgate (up to 7 inches), according to
the desired spreading application. Please refer to the
Recommended Settings charts provided in the
Millcreek Operator's Manual.
3. Refer to the Owner's Manual provided with the engine for important detailed instructions.
4. Check the engine oil and fuel levels, and fill according to the instructions in the Engine Owner's Manual.
5. Start the engine according to the following sequence (summarized from the Engine Owner's Manual):
• Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
• To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
• Move the throttle lever away from the MIN. position to about 1/3 of the distance toward the
MAX. position.
• Turn the engine switch (key start) to the ON position.
• Turn the engine switch (key start) to the START position, and hold it there until the engine
starts. When the engine starts, release the key (allowing it to return to the ON position).
If the engine fails to start within five (5) seconds, wait at least ten (10) seconds before
turning the key start again.
NOTE: This engine model has also been supplied with a recoil starter, which may be used to
start the engine instead of the key start.
• If the choke lever has been moved to the CLOSED position (for a cold start), gradually move
the lever to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
