OPERATING THE SPREADER
RAISE ENDGATE
Contact of apron chain with endgate will cause damage. To
avoid contact with apron chain, endgate must be raised fully.
The endgate closes off the back end of the spreader to contain
manure with high liquid content.
The endgate also prevents solid material from being piled tight
against the beater.
UNLOADING SPREADER USING METERING VALVE
1. Set flow control on tractor hydraulics obtain desired rate of unload speed.
Rate of spread is affected by both ground speed and unload speed. Experience will help you determine
both gear selection and control knob setting.
2. When spreader is empty, disengage apron chain, disengage PTO, and lower endgate.
PRODUCING GOOD SPREADING RESULTS
1. Operate tractor engine at “PTO RATED” speed.
2. Do not overload beater. A clumpy spread pattern will result from too fast of an unload rate.
3. When operating without an endgate, avoid loading material against the beater. Otherwise, large clumps of
material will be thrown out during the first few turns of the beater.
CLEANING SPREADER IN COLD WEATHER
When operating the spreader during extended periods
of subfreezing temperatures, frozen material may build
up on steel surfaces. This can prevent the beater from moving.
After completing spreading for the day, use the following cleaning procedure.
Cleaning is only necessary during extended periods of subfreezing temperatures.
Remove material buildup from endgate panel. Keep endgate arms clean to prevent freezing to side rails. Remove
debris from sliding floor, pusher tracks, and beater pan. Periodically check inside the pusher door and remove
debris as necessary.
