On units equipped with tractor-supplied hydraulics the return must be connected to a 0 (zero) pressure
return. Gear motor systems require no pressure return.
DO NOT connect the system unless 0 (zero) pressure can be veried on return or damage to the motors
will result! Connecting to a pressurized return will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Various tractor manufacturers use different language for their brand to identify a 0 (zero) pressure return.
Please consult your manufacturer to insure the proper 0 (zero) pressure return is identied.
To maintain maximum operational efciency, your tractor needs to have 42 GPM (Gallons Per Minute)
overall, with 2 remotes each at 21 GPM and 2,000 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) in order to operate the
tractor-supplied hydraulic system.

The BBI team takes pride in producing superior spreaders that will provide many years of
service. In bringing the best spreaders to the industries of agriculture, poultry, and construction,
we carefully select components with a proven performance record and availability. Our skilled
employees give special attention to detail in design and assembly to make certain our equipment
will meet or exceed your expectations in the eld.
Our parts department stands ready to serve you with replacement parts at affordable prices. We
stock a large inventory to assure support for our customers, and take pride in offering “same day
service” for those orders received before mid-afternoon.
At BBI, we provide quality service with a friendly atmosphere. BBI stands hand-in-hand with our
dealers in the eld. Our local dealers are your rst point of contact and empowered to solve your
problems. If that fails, we are prepared to serve you at any time. We strive to quickly provide
solutions for your needs in order to minimize any downtime or delays.
Our company takes safety very seriously, and we give great concern to our products in an
ongoing effort to reduce any potential safety issues, whether with equipment or in the workplace.
We design our equipment intentionally to minimize pinch points and provide guards where they
do exist. BBI places decals on our equipment to identify and caution against areas containing
pinch points and hazardous moving parts.
Please be sure that those who operate BBI equipment receive proper training. Never conduct
maintenance or repairs unless the equipment is fully disabled with the power source turned
off. Never stand inside the unit while in operation or moving. Since we design our spreaders to
project materials in patterns ranging from 30 to 90 feet, depending on the specic equipment,
standing too close to equipment can result in injury. Please use extreme caution when operating
all equipment.
Thank you for choosing BBI spreading equipment. You will be glad you did.
