5 Mounting of the spreader
Layout and mode of operation
The UDW 100 M1/UDW 250 M1 is a universal spreader with a capacity of 105 litres or 250 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 2). 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.

Page 9
Mounting the control box
To fasten your control box:
•Fasten the standard supplied bracket in the tractor cab with two bolts. 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 linkage 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.
CAUTION!
For safety-related reasons, disconnect the controls after using the implement and for
road transport.
CAUTION!
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.

6 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 spreader is designed such that it can spread the
spreading material evenly across a spreading width of up to 6 m. The precise settings for the spread
rate, working width etc. can be taken from the setting chart (point 6.2). 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 the
spreading material can form clumps in the hopper!
It flows optimally with fine and completely dry salt quality.
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).
