SPREADER SETUP
Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Decal sections of this manual before
operating this spreader. •
SPREADER RUN-IN

check to be sure all bolts and set screws are tight. Review Operating Safety Precautions and
Lubrication Instructions for more information.

3. CHECK FOR AND REMOVE ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE SPREADER BOX AND
DISCHARGE AREA.
4. BE SURE NO ONE IS NEAR THE SPREADER.
5. TEST RUN THE SPREADER.
a. Raise and lower the hydraulic endgate several times.
b. Raise and lower the hydraulic beater kick-out several times. (If equipped)
(Note: Follow instructions listed under BEATER KICK-OUT OPTION.)
c. With the spreader empty and the hydraulic endgate raised, start the apron
and beaters.
d. Run for at least 5 minutes at the recommended operating speed.
e. Stop the spreader, turn off the towing vehicle engine and remove the ignition keys.
f. Check the spreader drive components to be sure they are not abnormally hot.
Refer to Inspection and Adjustment section for the proper alignment and tension settings.
If any of these items are not running as indicated, immediately repair or contact your service
representative. Always refer to Operating Safety Precaution before operating or servicing the spreader.
PTO DRIVELINE
The DM 5000 series spreaders equipped with vertical beaters use a PTO clutch system to protect
the drive system components from overload. Your PTO clutch is located in the rear of the spreader
between the driveline and the beater assembly gearbox. When an overload condition is encountered
the clutch will disengage and the beaters will stop rotating. The clutch will produce an audible clicking
noise. This is your signal to throttle down, disable your apron drive, and disengage your PTO.
Disengaging the PTO will allow the overload clutch to reset itself.
Before restarting the spreader set the parking brake, shut off the motor, remove the key from
the ignition and visibly check for any obstructions in the beaters.
Note: If your spreader is equipped with the beater KICK-OUT option please read and follow the
instructions as presented under the “BEATER KICK-OUT OPTION” section of this manual.
NEVER CHECK THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS OPERATING!
After carefully removing any obstructions from the beaters make sure the discharge area is clear of all
personnel and tools before restarting the motor.
Restart the motor, and engage the PTO. Listen for the clutch and make sure it is not clicking.
If the beaters are running free, place the towing vehicle in gear and proceed with forward motion while
slowly engaging the apron drive.
The DM 5000 series spreaders that are equipped with horizontal beaters will have a PTO with a shear
bolt for driveline protection. This PTO with shear bolt is located in the same area as mentioned above
for the PTO clutch and the same proceedure should be followed when the replacement of the shear
bolt is necessary. Always replace the shear bolt with the same size and grade bolt that has been
provided which is a 1/4 x 2 grade 5 bolt.
