INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION!!!
OOperator must read before using unit.
1KEEP HANDS AWAY from any moving parts of the
spreader during operations.
2 NEVER run spreader unless all guards are
securely tightened in proper position.
3 NEVER repair any parts or make any adjustments
while machine is in motion.
4 NEVER wear loose clothing around any moving

5 NEVER allow anyone to ride spreader.
!
!!
! Failure to heed the above warnings may result in
personal injury or death.
Tractor Rating . . . . . 320 . . . . . . minimum 20 HP
Unit Mounting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Draw Bar Hitch
1Entire Unit must be washed thoroughly after
each use. Never store material in spreader.
2Maintain proper air pressure in tires to insure
proper operation.
3Drive Chain requires graphite lubrication.
4Keep proper tension on material conveyor
belt by tightening the two adjusting bolts at the
front of the spreader on both sides. It is
important that the tensioning bolts be adjusted
equally to maintain proper belt alignment.
Incorrect adjustment may cause premature
wear on the belt and damage to hopper sides.
IMPORTANT: Each season, remove the
conveyor belt and clean rollers and belt slide
area.
1Adjust the MultiSpread draw bar to the
proper length to allow room for the tractor to
make turns without the rear tractor wheel
contacting the spreader. With the unit secured
to avoid rolling or dropping on personnel
during adjustment, remove the bolt at the base
of the draw bar and position it in one of the
four holes. Reinstall bolt in the proper hole.
2Hook the completely assembled
MultiSpread to the tractor’s tow bar using a
hitch pin with a safety clip pin.
3 Adjust the spreader engagement handle to
the proper length by loosening the two wing
nuts and sliding the handle in or out for easy
operator access. Make sure handle does not
contact operator or tow unit during turns.
Retighten all hardware.
4Adjust the
metering gate at
the back of the
spreader to obtain
proper material flow
and to achieve the
desired spread
thickness. The
adjustment is
accomplished by
pulling the round knob to release the spring-
loaded catch pin from its hole in the disc, then
rotating the adjuster for proper endgate
height. Release the pin and make sure it has
been reset into one of the available
adjustment holes.
Loading the hopper can be accomplished
with a hand shovel or with a tractor type
loader. When loading with a tractor type
loader, avoid lifting bucket higher than
necessary to empty bucket. Discharge
material from the bucket slowly to avoid
damage to the spreader. Materials, such as
sand, may not be heaped above hopper
sides. Material, such as compost, will allow
for some heaping.
6Drive tractor to the spreading area.
Engage the traction drive lever. The traction
drive lever will allow a chain to drop onto a
drive sprocket, thus causing both wheels to
activate apron belt and beater, to begin
spreading hopper contents.
7Start forward motion to begin operation.
The faster the ground speed, the wider the
spread pattern and vise versa. Use a wide
turning radius to avoid damage to the unit.
Always be sure to slow down while engaging
and disengaging the spreader.
Important Note: Modifying the sides to hold
additional material may overload the unit and will
void the warranty.
