SPREADER OPERATION
COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
IN FREEZING WEATHER, make sure the apron, beaters and the endgate are not frozen with manure. If this
appears likely, disengage the PTO, turn off the engine, remove ignition key, and loosen the frozen area before
loading and immediately clean after spreading.
CHECK THE DISCHARGE AREA. Be sure the gate is clear of frozen material, and the discharge area is clean.
Run the gate up and down several times before loading and after spreading to help keep the sides clear. It is
best to leave the gate partially open during storage to help avoid freezing down.
In extremely cold weather allow spreader hydraulic system to warm up before loading.
NEVER CHECK OR CLEAN THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS OPERATING!
INSPECT AND ADJUST
SAFETY SHIELDING to be sure all shielding is in place and functioning properly. Replace all damaged or
missing shielding immediately! Contact your nearest dealer or the Sioux Automation Inc, parts and service
department for more information.
Check bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter, and tighten if necessary.
Roller Chain Tighteners to apply suffi cient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. Also check
roller chain for wear, proper alignment and tension and replace if necessary. Roller chain connector links must
have the legs of the cotter pins facing the trailing end of chain.
Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable,
they should be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean!
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do Not allow the current to fl ow through the bearings or
roller chains. Ground directly to the item being welded.
Periodically check all set screws and bolts and retighten if necessary.
Apron chains for wear, proper alignment and tension.
Be sure to keep tension on the apron chains. The apron tightner bolts are located at the front of the unit
at each end of the apron shafts. They should be adjusted evenly for their respective assembly.
If apron is still loose, remove one link from each side of that apron chain assembly and readjust to tension.
CAUTION: Over tightening can cause premature failure of the drive components.
