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 engine and remove the key.
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
hole provided on metal cover over PTO shaft on spreader. 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. Please refer to the DVD for more information.

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 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 hydraulic 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 BOTTOM EDGE OF SPREADER i.e. FROM CENTRE TO
FRONT.
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 to required height 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.

b. Rear Shaft.
• Grease both left and right bearings.
3. Grease the Overrun Clutch to front of the auger gearbox.
WEEKLY (40 HRS)
1. Check wheel nuts. Re-torque as needed.
2. Grease all sealed bearings
a. Driveline hanger bearings (2 or 3 depending on model).
b. Top auger bearings (Grease nipples access provided on right turret).
3. Grease the telescoping section of the PTO shaft.

4. Grease PTO input drive system.
a. Input shaft.
b. Cross joint fittings.
c. Guard bearings.
d. Shear bolt housing.
e. Over-running clutch (5 pumps).
5. Grease the implement jack top.
6. Check gearbox oil level
a. Floor Chain Drive Gearbox
-Oil should be level with the middle of the sight glass.
-Add oil as required through the top plug.
b. Auger Gearbox
-Spreader must be unhooked from tractor and set on level ground to check oil. Oil
should be level with the middle of the sight glass.
-Add oil as required through the top plug.
-Oil may take a while to distribute in casing, recheck level after 30 –40 minutes and
repeat if necessary.
MONTHLY
1. Apply grease or heavy oil to apron chain.
2. Grease telescoping section of PTO shaft.

LOWLANDER MSL60 MANURE SPREADER –INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL

3. Grease the CV Joint of PTO shaft (15 pumps)
4. Grease suspension system spring bushings on each side.
5. Grease brake pivot bushings (Tandem Suspension machines).
6. Grease parking brake leaver joint.
7. Check and adjust the apron chain tension. Refer to section 5.2.2 - page 50.
ANNUALLY
1. Change oil to all gearboxes.
2. Check the condition of the frame sealing flaps. Replace if not sealing the sides or bottom.
a. Front.
b. Rear Slurry Door Auger Deck.
3. Check brake setting.
Brakes can be checked by depressing the brake petal with the engine running and the
tractor in gear; release clutch to determine brake adjustment.
4. Check condition of rotor blades and paddles. Repair when there are loose bolts, cracked
welds, chipped, bent or broken blades or paddles. Replace when any components are worn
within 1 inch (25 mm) of flighting.
5. Clean machine.
6. Check general hardware/bolt tightness. Retighten if necessary.
It is recommended to apply waste oil to the floor chains periodically when spreading dry material
and particularly at the end of the spreading season. This assists in the smooth running of the
machine and prolongs the working life of the components.
