General Information
Read the operating instructions thoroughly and observe safety notices before initial start-up!
In the case that something is still unclear, please contact the responsible Bergmann sales
representative or our customer service department (Tel. [phone]).
Intended Use
The universal spreader is designed exclusively for the standard operation of spreading manure and
compost (intended use). With the proper equipment lime and carbon lime, thick sludge and dry
chicken manure can be spread. Any other use is not considered to be the intended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for damages attained during unintended use. In this case the user is solely
responsible.
Observing the manufacturer’s operating, service and maintenance requirements is also considered
intended use, as well as the exclusive use of original spare parts.
The universal spreader may only be operated, serviced and maintained by persons who are familiar
with it and who have been instructed on the hazards.
They must be made familiar with all equipment and control devices as well as their functions before
operation.
The spreader is designed for one-man operation. The operator’s work place is in the driver’s seat in
the cab of the tractor. The operator may only drive and operate the spreader when no other persons
are in danger zones! (Pay special attention to children)!
Foreign objects as well as hard and heavy particles in the forage can be thrown far by the spreader
unit. Ensure sufficient distance is kept from persons.
Before working on the spreader (e.g. maintenance or repair work), turn off the engine and remove the
key from the ignition.
Do not enter the spreader when the spreading unit is in operation or the tractor motor is running.
Persons and animals may not be transported on the vehicle.
The universal spreader is designed for operations under typical Central European temperatures.
Ensure the scraper floor does not freeze up while operating in temperatures under freezing. This could
cause significant damage.
All safety equipment must be properly mounted at all times.
The applicable accident prevention requirements as well as other recognised safety, industrial
medicine and traffic regulations must also be observed.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by unauthorized changes.
Operating the Universal spreader without a spreader unit is not authorized.

Initial Start-up and Functions
Mode of Operation
The material in the cargo area is moved to the spreader unit by the scraper floor. The dosing wall
makes fine spreading of free-flowing and semi-free-flowing materials. The spreading / milling beaters
in the rear mill and spread the material. On M-vehicles the spreader unit is equipped with vertical
beaters (4 pieces). TSW-vehicles are equipped with horizontal beaters (2 or 3 pieces) in conjunction
with a two disk spreader unit. This combination makes spread paths of up to 24 m possible.
The scraper floor is powered by the tractor’s hydraulic system. Adjustments can be made manually or
electrically (option).
The spreader unit is driven by the tractor’s PTO shaft. The drive speed is 1000 rpm.
Initial Start-up
After delivery, remove all wiring and transportation aids.
All lubrication points must be greased before initial start-up.
Before the universal spreader is operated the protective screen must be mounted to the front wall of
the vehicle. This serves as a guard for the driver against particles which are thrown by the spreader
unit.

Coupling to the Tractor
When coupling and uncoupling the universal spreader with the tractor there is danger of injury! For this
reason never stand between or the universal spreader and the tractor or behind the trailer during
coupling operations if the trailer is not secured against rolling with the parking brake or wheel chocks.
Couple the universal spreader to the designated device on the tractor. The universal spreader is to be
coupled using the drawbar eye located on the front of the trailer.
Depending on the vehicle design, the universal spreader can be coupled in the high or low drawbar
position.
Ensure that the coupling on the tractor is approved for the drawbar eye on the universal spreader. The
maximum load of the coupling must at least match the maximum nose weight of the universal
spreader.
Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the brake and lighting systems are connected and
functioning properly.
Adjusting the Height of a Drawbar with Mechanical Suspension
The height of the drawbar is adjusted by installing or removing spacers 1 between the drawbar 2 and
the suspension elements 3 (Image: according to the version).
If the drawbar eye is to be lowered:
First, secure the vehicle against rolling using wheel
chocks and the parking brake, and uncouple it from the
tractor. The exact procedure is described in
"Uncoupling the Universal spreader".
Place a support under the drawbar and remove the 4
bolts.
Place a spacer 1 between the drawbar 2 and the
suspension element 3.
It is important to ensure that at least one spacer
remains behind the spring element 5 and that the
number of spacers between 2 and 3 is the same for all
bolts.
Replace the bolts 4 and tighten until the suspension
element 5 is compressed to 26mm. The locknut is to be
replaced after being removed and retightened five
times.
If the drawbar eye is to be raised:
First, secure the vehicle against rolling using wheel
chocks and the parking brake, and uncouple it from the
tractor. The exact procedure is described in
"Uncoupling the Universal spreader".
Place a support under the drawbar and remove the 4
bolts (3 bolts).
Remove a spacer 1 from between the drawbar 2 and
the suspension element 3.
