1 Provisions
Dear customer!
We are pleased and congratulate you on your purchase and wish you lots of fun and success in working
with this implement!
Please be sure to read all the instructions in this operating manual before operating this implement!
2 Warranty
Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt. Later claims regarding
transport damage can no longer be considered.
We provide a one-year factory warranty as of the date of delivery (your invoice or the delivery slip serve
as a warranty certificate).
This warranty is applicable for cases of material or construction faults and does not include parts that are
damaged by normal or excessive wear.
The warranty expires
−if damage is caused by external forces.
−in cases of operating errors.
−if the prescribed requirements are not met.
−if the implement is modified, expanded or equipped with third-party spare parts without our
permission.
−if the implement is cleaned with water.
3 Accident prevention safety instructions
The general accident prevention regulations of the respective countries must be observed.
The implement may only be used by persons who are informed of the hazards.
Check the hazard area before starting up and operating the implement! (Children!) Ensure sufficient
visibility!
The warning and information stickers applied to the implement provide important instructions for safe
operation: observe them for the sake of your own safety!
Before starting work, you should get to know all of the equipment and operating elements as well as their
functions.

4 Mounting of the spreader
Layout and mode of operation
The UD 100 M1 is a universal spreader with a capacity of 105 litres.
The spread rate is regulated by the seeding shaft, which is driven by a 12V gear motor. The working
width is regulated comfortably from the driver's seat via the speed of the spreading plate.
As an option, there is the possibility of adjusting the speed of the seeding shaft to the speed of the
tractor by using various speed sensors (available as an accessory). Furthermore, tractor linkage sensors
are also available as an option.
Power can be supplied to the control box either through the 3-pin standard socket or optionally directly
from the battery.
Mounting the implement
The spreader should be attached to the vehicle, either
"facing" towards the front or the rear. A steel plate is
riveted onto the frame, which you can bolt on with the
standard supplied counter plate on different parts of the
machine.
To mount the implement on the three-point linkage of
the tractor, bolt the tractor linkage drawbar between your
spreader and the supplied counter plate (Figure 1). To
attach the spreader, you should use at least 8 bolts with
a diameter of 10 mm and the required length to ensure
secure and firm attachment of the implement. Then
install the supplies top link bracket onto the frame of the
spreader.
CAUTION!
APV is not liable for improper mounting or faulty use of the implement.

Figure 2
Mounting the control box
Fasten the standard supplied bracket with two bolts in
the tractor cab. Stow the excess cable in the driver's cab
to avoid pinching.
CAUTION!
If possible, do not roll up the cable into a coil!
On the bottom side of the control box, there is a 3-pin
plug (= connection to the power supply of the tractor),
a 6-pin plug (= connection of the spreader to the
control box), and a 12-pin plug for the sensors (speed
sensor and/or lifting unit sensor).
TIP!
Pay attention to the angle at which you
look at the control box to be able to read
the display optimally. If necessary, bend
the bracket slightly to adjust the angle as
required.
The standard supplied cable can be directly
connected to the 3-pin standard socket of the tractor
in the cab. The other end is connected to the control
box.
If your tractor does not have a standard socket, it can
be retrofitted with the cable set included with the
accessories.
The fuse (30 A) is located on the right side of the
control box.

CAUTION!
The 12 volt power supply must NOT be connected to the socket for the cigarette lighter.
After use of the implement, the control box should be disconnected again (for various
safety-related reasons).
If your battery is charged by a charger that is in "Start" operating mode, there can be
voltage peaks! These can cause damage to the electrical system of the control box if it is
also connected when the battery is being charged.
CAUTION!
If these instructions are not observed, damage may be caused to the control box.
CAUTION!
After using the implement and for road transport, the control box must be switched off
again (for various safety-related reasons).
5 Settings and operation
Spreading width
The spreading width depends on the density of the de-icing product/salt/grit, on the delivery rate of the
seeding shaft, and the speed of the spreading disc. The snow and ice removal machine is designed
such that it can spread the spreading material evenly across a spreading width of approx. 6 m. The
precise settings for the spread rate, working width etc. can be taken from the setting chart (point 5.2).
We recommend that the spreader be mounted at least 1 m above the ground to achieve a certain degree
of spreading density.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the salt or de-icing product is STORED IN A DRY PLACE, otherwise it can
form clumps in the hopper!
It flows optimally with fine and completely dry salt quality.

Page 8
Setting charts
These tables can be used as reference values. However, they cannot be used in the same way
everywhere as many factors play a role or strong changes can occur (such as the density, spreading
material moisture content, changes in flow behaviour, and much more).
CAUTION!
The grain size of the grit may not exceed 5-6 mm.

Figure 5
Spreading disc, throwing vanes, point of impact adjustment
With the variable throwing vanes
(Figure 4) attached to the spreading
disc, the spread pattern can be
adapted to the specific weight of the
spreading material. This results in
uniform lateral distribution.
When the throwing vanes are moved
forward, the spreading material exits
the spreading disc a little later and the
implement spreads a little more to the
right (when standing in front of the
spreader). When the throwing vanes
are moved back, the spreading
material exits the spreading disc a
little earlier and the implement
spreads a little more to the left (when
standing in front of the spreader).
Moreover, the point of impact can be adjusted. The
point of impact adjustment (Fehler! Verweisquelle
konnte nicht gefunden werden.Figure 5) can be
used to adjust the entire spread pattern by approx.
20° in both directions. This can be important for
some spreading materials, e.g. to avoid having to
adjust the throwing vanes. For example, if the
spreading pattern is turned by 15° to the right, the
point of impact adjustment is turned by 15° to the
left.
To adjust the point of impact, loosen the 4 bolts that
are marked in Figure 5. After making the
adjustment, tighten these bolts again.
PLEASE NOTE!
The seeding shaft can only be switched on when the spreading plate is rotating!

Figure 6
Deflector (guide plate)
The deflector is required when the spreading
material is flung towards the front onto the vehicle.
It is installed on the left side in the direction of
travel of the spreader. To install the deflector,
remove the M6x16 flange screw and install the
deflector with the supplied star knob screw.
Dismounting the seeding shaft
To dismount the seeding shaft, proceed as follows:
PLEASE NOTE!
When changing the seeding shaft, ensure that the hopper is completely empty.
After installing the seeding shaft, check the implement for smooth running.
1. Empty the hopper completely.
2. Loosen the two locking nuts (WAF 10)
marked in Figure 7 and take off the bearing
flange.
