NEW MACHINE CHECKOUT
Before aempng to use or operate the spreader it is important to be thoroughly familiarized with the contents of
this manual. Then the machine should be checked using the following check list:
1. Ground drive re inflated to 22 PSI. Tires inflated to manufacturing specificaons.
2. All bearings lubricated and ghtly mounted with collars securely locked.
(See lubricaon schedule page 5.)
3. Conveyor chains, drive chain & ground drive chain adjusted to correct tension. Conveyor chain should
be flush or just below the boom of the trough in the area approximately 2’ behind the front roller.
4. Sprockets ghtened & in proper alignment.
5. Inspect enre machine for loose bolts, especially in the spinner assembly and drive line area.
6. Distributor fan blades set properly. (See spread adjustment and applicaon rates)
7. Place 1/2” material on top of chain, lower gate to material, set pointer at 1”.
8. Tighten wheel bolts daily – 95 foot pounds single axle spreaders.
9. Check drive line for ease of operaon by turning shaby hand. If the foregoing inspecon reveals
that addional lubricaon or adjustment is required, refer to the proper secon of this manual for
detailed instrucons.
10. Ground drive wheel and universal joint shear pins in place and ght.
11. Check both spinner gear boxes for oil; fill to level of pipe plug with SAE No. 90 non-detergent oil.

OPERATION
SPREADER SAFETY
Before starng in moon please read the following words of cauon.
A. It is recommended that inial spreading be done in as low a range as possible to permit easy break-in.
B. Always shut offor disconnect power to spreader before aempng to repair or adjust the spreader.
C. Do not transport machine with ground drive wheel engaged.
D. NEVER back-up spreader with ground drive wheel engaged.
E. Make sure that the towing vehicle brakes are operang properly and are capable of stopping the towing vehicle.
F. If a pick-up is used as the towing vehicle, it is wise to add ballast for addional safety and tracon. We
recommend that all towing vehicles be ballast loaded to their recommended G.V.W.
G. Hitches should be of heavy construcon and should be welded or bolted directly to the towing vehicle frame.
Hitches should be checked rounely for loose bolts, cracked welds, etc.
H. Never tow a spreader with a drawbar pin less than 1” in diameter. Pins should also have a locking device.
I. Do not tow spreader at speeds in excess of 20 mph loaded or 40 mph empty.
J. Remember, that the stopping and braking distances vary with load and vehicle speed. It is well to familiarize
yourself with the characteriscs of your machine under different load and speed condions.
K. Be sure to aach safety break-away chain and the safety chain to towing vehicle to assure control of spreader in
the case of pin or hitch failure.
L. The unit is designed for hitching to vehicles with drawbar heights between 12 and 18 inches above the ground
level. It will operate with all standard tractor hitches and PTO’s. WARNING: Hydraulically mounted drawbars
must be securely and mechanically locked because a fully loaded spreader applies a load in the order of 2000 lbs.
to the hitch.
M. WARNING: Remember this unit is designed for agricultural use only and is primarily an off-the-road vehicle and
should be towed at tractor speeds ONLY, not to exceed 20 mph loaded or 40 mph empty. Inspect hubs rounely
to see if they are heang, which indicates either a need for lubricaon or improper adjustment of brakes or
bearings, also check stud nuts for ghtness.
N. WARNING: The maximum capacity of this unit is 8 tons (800) or 270 cubic feet and 10 tons (1000) or 333 cubic
feet, based on a material density of 60 pounds per cubic foot. DO NOT EXCEED THIS LIMIT!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following completely before spreading.
1) Aach spreader to towing vehicle, make sure hitch and hitch pin are sound.
2) Aach PTO shato proper rpm PTO.
3) Spinner discs, adjustable chute and conveyor floor should be clean for accurate metering.
4) Set metering gate to desired spread rate according to decal on the back end sheet of tank. Always keep the
machine in the lowest possible range.
5) Before starng to spread, rotate the ground drive wheel several revoluons by hand to make sure the conveyor
chain is operang freely. If chain is frozen or moves with too much resistance, correct problem before using
spreader.
6) If the ground drive wheel operates properly, check with chain and sprocket arrangement for desired range
seng and chain tension.
7) When spreading is complete, disengage ground drive assembly from the re and install transport lockup.

IMPORTANT : Over ghtening hardware can be as damaging as under ghtening.
Tightening beyond recommended torque will reduce the fastener’s shock load capacity.
WARNING: Never work around any raised implement while in the
raised posion without using safety lockups.

MACHINE ADJUSTMENT
WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Aer repacking or when inspecng wheel bearings, the following adjustment procedure should be followed. Place flat
washer and spindle nut on spindle. Turn hub as you ghten nut. When a pronounced drag is felt in the bearings, back
offnut one complete slot. If necessary connue to back offthe nut unl the next slot aligns with the coer pin hole and
install coer pin and dust cap.
CONVEYOR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Loosen chain take-up locking nuts on outside of front end of trough. Adjust take-up bolts evenly unl chain clears main
frame members and axle tube by ¾” ½”. Inspect shabearing mounng bolts and shalocking collars for ghtness of set
screws (6 places). Reset take-up locking nuts.
STORAGE
Before storing the spreader for more than a few days, the machine should be emped completely and thoroughly
washed both inside and out. This precauon will minimize the severity of ferlizer acid corrosion, extend the useful life
of the machine, and prevent damage to drive line and conveyor chain from ferlizer compacon and caking. We further
recommend that the machine be thoroughly greased aer washing.
Before operang the machine aer extended periods of storage, re-lubricate the enre spreader in accordance with the
lubricaon secon of this manual. Also check the enre spreader, following the New Machine Checkout Procedure to be
found in a foregoing secon of the manual.
Remember that oil and grease are your least expensive corrosion inhibitors.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION
Do not operate your spreader with less than one and a half (1 1/2) inch of metering gate opening as material will com-
pact against metering gate and cause failure of the conveyor chain.
CAUTION
Do not disconnect implement from tractor with material remaining in box.
