1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The intended purpose of the vehicle is to tow and spread manure and other materials.
1.1 Hitching to tractor.
Attach spreader to pick-up hook or static hitch stub. Do not attach to swinging drawbar
or pick-up hook in extended position.
Remove screwjack from drawbar (if fitted) and locate in transport position provided at
the front of spreader.
Turn off the tractor and remove key before fitting PTO.
Slide the tractor end of the PTO shaft out and fit to the tractor PTO. Lay the two halves
of the PTO shaft alongside one another and mark the required lengths, allowing for
turning. Maximum pull out of 300mm (12 inches) of the 2 shafts. Cut to size and clean
burrs at each end of shaft KEEP SHAFT SLIDING SURFACES GREASED. Attach chains
fitted to PTO guard (to prevent rotation of guard) to suitable point on the tractor and
the staple on the drawbar. Ensure that the spring loaded pins in splined yokes are fully
locked in position. Always disengage the PTO when turning sharply to avoid damage to
shafts universal joints. Where a wide angle PTO is fitted attach this end to the tractor.

1.2 Coupling of hydraulic hoses.
Fit the two hoses for the floor drive hydraulic motor (one to feed and one for return) to
double spool valve on tractor. Choose position of spool lever for ease of control to
obtain floor movement to rear. Reversing of floor is done by selecting the opposite
position of the hydraulic control lever. Universal quick release probes are fitted as
standard to hose ends. Mark hose as required to assist in the future coupling for correct
position of feed and return. When a slurry door is fitted connect the hydraulic hoses to
a double spool valve and select the hose positions to suit the operator to open and close
the door.
Fit hydrualic brake hose to trailer brake valve on tractor (male fitting).
A universal female brake coupling is fitted as standard to the hose ends.
N.B CHECK DIRECTION OF FLOOR BEFORE LOADING.
Do not run floor in reverse with full load. Speed of floor in reverse is at MAXIMUM.
Only reverse floor for a few seconds.
Ensure the braking system is connected and that it functions correctly before moving.

1.3 Hand brake.
The handbrake is a multi-stroke ratchet type. To apply the handbrake give the handle
short pumps (a clicking of the ratchet will be heard) until resistance occurs and
subsequent tightening of the cable. To release the handbrake give the handle one sharp
movement in the opposite direction This releases the ratchet mechanism.
1.4 Brake adjustment.
Brake adjustment is carried out at the hydraulic brake ram unit fitted to each wheel axle
giving independent adjustment to each wheel. To adjust, jack up the spreader, slacken
the locknut in the set screw and turn the set screw clockwise. (See section 7)
BEWARE NOT TO OVER ADJUST. Make sure the wheel can rotate freely.
1.5 Floor adjustment.
When adjusting floor chains ensure that the adjustment is carried out equally to both
sides.
DO NOT ALLOW THE CHAINS TO BECOME TOO SLACK.
ADJUST CHAINS AFTER A FEW LOADS.
KEEP CHAINS ADJUSTED CORRECTLY AT ALL TIMES, A GUIDE IS TO BE ABLE TO SEE A
WHOLE LINK BELOW FRONT SIDE OF THE SPREADER i.e. FROM CENTRE TO FRONT
POST.
Reverse floor
The floor should only be reversed for very short periods, to clear the augers.
Do not reverse if the floor chain is slack, tighten floor chain first.
1.6 Method of operation.
1) Select speed of floor required on control valve.
2) Engage PTO to power the rear augers –tractor engine revs low.
3) Raise slurry door if fitted.
4) Engage spool valve to power floor to rear.
1.7 Slurry Door
As the load height reduces lower the slurry door to cover the augers. This will help
prevent foreign objects being thrown forward.

1.8 INSTALLATION AND GENERAL USE OF DETACHABLE SPINNER DECK
GENERAL USE
The detachable spinner deck is designed purely for wider spread patterns and low
application rates of between 1 and 3 tonnes per acre (2 ½ to 7 ½ tonnes per hectare). It
must NEVER be used to spread long straw based material or heavy applications beyond
5 tonnes per acre.
INSTALLATION
When fitting or removing the spinner deck assembly great care must be taken not to
endanger an assistant in any way, especially when raising or lowering the unit. Persons
must not be put at risk.
Before making any adjustments, fitting or removing attachments, the tractor that the
spreader is attached to must be switched off and the key removed.
FITTING THE SPINNER DECK –See pages 111 & 112 for parts list.
1 Remove guard from output spigots of the auger gearbox.
2Slide one half of ‘flexi coupling’ onto the shaft, through shaft of spinner gearbox.
3 Slide other half of the ‘flexi coupling’ on the input spigot of the spinner gearbox.
4 Using approved lifting apparatus lift the complete spinner deck assembly using
lower lifting eye on canopy.
5 Offer the assembly to rear of the machine and lower into position. Firstly locate
the ‘bucket hooks’ of deck into clevis’ at the top rear corners of the spreader.
6 Hinge hook bolt No. 14 into anchors and tighten.
7 Fit and tighten 4 bolts to join the two halves of the flexi coupling.
8 The machine is now ready for use with the spinner deck.

REMOVING THE SPINNER DECK
1 Clean all material from spinners and decks.
2 Remove 4 bolts from the flexi coupling.
3 Loosen hook bolts No. 14 and hinge back to clear anchors.
4 Using approved lifting apparatus lift from lower lifting eye on the canopy firstly
pulling the bottom of the deck assembly away from rear of spreader to the clear
auger blades.
5Lift the assembly clear of the spreader and stand on level ground with the front
of the assembly close to, or against a wall or stable object.
6 Fit the shaft cover to the output spigot of the spreader auger gearbox.
7 The machine is now ready for use without spinner deck.
ADJUSTMENT OF CANOPY & BLADES
For the best results
1 Fix the canopy on the inner positions for light materials i.e. Poultry manure.
2For heavy material i.e. slurry or sludge adjust canopy out as far as possible so as
not to deposit material beyond the deck into gaps between the discs.
3 To increase the width of the spread pattern adjust the angle of blades forward
on the disc.
4 If the spread pattern is light immediately behind the machine adjust the angle of
the blades back.
5 It is possible to achieve an even spread by adjusting the blades, as opposing
pairs. i.e. Blade 1 and 3 position 3 and blade 2 and 4 in position 1.

1.9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL BEATERS
General use
The horizontal beater with spinner discs is designed primarily for wider spread patterns
and lower application rates for product such as chicken and turkey manure, however
long straw based materials can be spread effectively. It must be expected that
application rates maybe slower than a vertical auger spreader.
Adjustments for spread patterns
The position of the lower section of rear canopy and the angle of the blades on the discs
will affect the spread pattern and width.
Select a hole position that places the rubber strip over the middle of the discs for a
lighter application rates and wider widths. Adjust the hole position to move the rubber
strip rearwards for higher application rates e.g. for straw based materials. Excessive
rearward adjustment will cause the material to miss the discs and hit the ground
without being spread.
Each spinning disc is supplied with 2 blades on and the others loose; it has been proven
that many materials are spread more effectively with just 2 blades per disc.
1 To increase the width of the spread pattern adjust the angle of blades forward
on the disc.
2 If the spread pattern is light immediately behind the machine adjust the angle of
the blades back.
3 With 4 blades fitted it is possible to achieve an even spread by adjusting the
blades, as opposing pairs. i.e. Blade 1 and 3 in position 3 and blade 2 and 4 in
position 1.
4 When adjusting angle use the 2nd set of holes on the blade to keep the tip of the
blade on the edge of the disc
Change angle of lower
canopy here.
