Look over the entire unit, checking that all guards and fasteners are in place and fasteners are
properly tightened, including lug nuts.
1.
Adjust tractor hitch and drawbar as close to horizontal as you can. Adjust drawbar so hitch
pin hole is directly below center line of PTO shaft. Make sure drawbar is in a stationary position.
2.
Back tractor to spreader and connect with a minimum ¾” diameter hitch pin. Secure with a
locking or cotter pin.
3.
Attach the safety chains.
4.
Raise jack stand.
5.
Either connect hydraulic hoses (as discussed in the Tractor-supplied Hydraulic Section),
or connect PTO shaft to tractor PTO if equipped with self-contained hydraulics.
Be cautious of pinch points.
**PTO shaft may need to be trimmed to ensure the proper
amount of telescope and to prevent damage to the tractor and spreader. If you have
questions, please consult your local dealer.
6.
Install and connect Dual Switch Control Box and any other electronic controls needed.
7.
Check to be sure that no loose parts or other material are in the hopper, on the conveyor or
on the spinners. Be sure to remove any loose pieces and ensure all guards are in place.

Tractor Preparation and Hook-up
Set-up and Preparation
Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in death,
serious infection, or other injuries. Fluid injected under skin must be
IMMEDIATELY removed by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.
Make sure connections are tight and hoses and fittings are not damaged
before applying system pressure. Leaks can be invisible. Keep away
from suspected leaks. Relieve pressure before searching for leaks or
performing any system maintenance.
Ensure that you always keep your hose ends clean using a cloth. Never
use a dirty coupling. If it does drop in the dirt, clean it up before you apply
or damage to your tractor can occur.
NOTE: Do not load spreader with material until after completing
initial start-up steps.
