General Safety
For the safety of others and yourself, please read and follow the precautions in this
operator’s manual. Pay particular attention to the following safety aspects of operating
machinery.
Do not ride on or allow passengers on the machine.
Always use a recognised hitch pin with a safety
clip to hook trailed implements on behind the
tractor.
Always ensure when using a quick hitch that the
locking tab has come out and is in the locked
position before moving.
When pulling trailed implements or loads, be sure
to use a tractor of greater or equal weight than the
combined weight of the load and trailer.

Carry a suitable fire extinguisher.
A fire can ignite under certain conditions, so please take the following precautions:
After running your machine for a short time, check for defective
bearings. A faulty bearing can become very hot, eventually
discolouring, requiring immediate replacement.
Do not allow combustible material to accumulate inside guards or
around rollers and other moving parts.
If your machine becomes blocked, stop immediately and remove the
obstruction.
Be careful when operating in hot or dry conditions or on extreme fire risk days.
Never operate your machine without the safety
guards in place.
All chains should be properly
adjusted and replaced when
necessary.

Page 10
WideTrac Operation & Parts Manual
Release all hydraulic pressure from
implements before commencing service
work. Never look for suspected oil leaks
with your hands or body - use a piece of
cardboard instead.
Any fluid that penetrates the skin will
have to be removed immediately by a
medical expert. Seek specialist advice
on this type of injury.
Never attempt to unblock equipment while it is
still operating.
Always disengage power take-off, hydraulics
and shut down engine before removing
materials, checking or servicing.
Failure to follow these precautions is likely to
result in serious injury.
Wear proper protective clothing. Loose attire can easily
be snagged by rotating machinery resulting in serious
injury or death.

Pre-Service Guidelines & Settings
Prior to delivering your machine, your dealer should have completed a pre-delivery
check.
It is beneficial to check the following points before using the machine for the first time.
CHECK ALL WHEEL NUTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY TIGHT.
CHECK ALL TYRE PRESSURES ARE CORRECT.
CHECK ALL AXLE MOUNTING BOLTS AND NUTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY
TIGHT.
THE CONVEYOR BELT should be checked for correct tension, and adjusted if
necessary. See page 13 for information on conveyer belt adjustment.
THERE ARE SEVERAL GREASE POINTS on all machines. Check the yellow
label on the side of your machine to see how many grease points there are. You
should fully grease everything before running it for the first time. See page 14 for
lubrication details.

Initial Setup
Hydraulic Requirements
The spreader is fitted as standard with two 32cc hydraulic motors running in parallel,
requiring an oil flow of 60L/min @ 2500 psi.
For tractors with flows below this amount, it is possible to plumb the motors in a series
arrangement. In this setup, 35L/min will suffice.
Two spinner motors running in parallel. This option gives the spinners more torque
and runs the spinners at lower pressures but the machine would then only operate with
a minimum of 60 l/min flow.
Spinner speed is set and adjusted manually using knob labelled “SPINNER SPEED” on
front face of valve block. Winding knob in (clockwise) will decrease spinner speed,
winding out will increase spinner speed.
Coupling the Hydraulics
The pressure hose must be coupled to a high pressure outlet port on the tractors
external system.
The return hose can be coupled into the same double acting bank using the quick
release coupling supplied but can give better performance if plumbed directly back to
tank via a large ¾” or 1” dump connection.
With the tractor at idle, engage the hydraulics. For most common setups, the right hand
spinner should rotate clockwise and the left hand spinner run anticlockwise.
If hydraulic flow is reversed, belt may travel in reverse and spinners will not rotate.
Note: Some machines have a reversible spinner circuit fitted so the spinner direction
can be reversed if required for bulky material such as mulch or compost.
Power
12V supply is required directly from the tractor’s battery through the supplied fused loom.

Basic Spreader Maintenance
Adjusting the Conveyor Belt
If the chain is sagging below the inspection slot at rear of machine (RED ZONE),
loosen locking nut and tighten (turn clockwise) the belt adjustment screw.
Recheck chain sag at rear through inspection slot. If chain is not visible through
slot, increase tension until chain can be seen through slot (GREEN ZONE).
Ensure adjusters are evenly tensioned on either side of machine. Measure
distance from tensioner to profile (YELLOW ARROW) and ensure measurements
match on either side.

Measuring Bulk Density of Product
Follow the instructions below for the most accurate way of measuring the bulk density
of products, this is crucial in order to achieve accurate rates of spreading.
Fill the cup with product, ensuring it is
level with the top
Weigh the product
Divide the weight in grams by 1000 to
get the product density.
For example if the cup weighed 1644
grams the density would = 1.64KG/L
A cup weighing 900 grams would =
0.90KG/L
Take 3 samples of product and
average them for best results
Enter density into controller
Turn scale on by pressing and
holding button marked
Ensure units are in grams (displayed
g), if needed change by pressing the
unit button
Place empty cup on scale and then zero
scale by pressing button marked

Machine Setup & Calibration
The controller must be calibrated every time it is used with a different tractor. Calibration
finds the belt speeds possible with a tractors available hydraulic flow.
If calibration is not run, the spreader will not have the appropriate available speed range
and can cause the machine to spread inaccurately.
With power and hydraulics connected press and hold the button.
-----MENU----- will be displayed, keep holding button until “1) Wheel Size” is shown.
Press button to move to second option menu, “2 BELT CAL”.
Press to enter menu. Instructions for calibration will be displayed on screen.
During the calibration process, keep away from exposed belt at front of machine as it
may begin rotating without notice.
Set tractor engine to operating RPM or set flow to at least 60L/min. Engage hydraulics
and then press on controller.
The controller will find and set values for minimum and maximum belt speeds depending
on tractor hydraulic flow available at set RPM.
Wheel size is the diameter (in millimetres) of tyres fitted to spreader –This option is set
from factory.
If wheels & tyres are changed, wheel diameter measurement must be checked. Ensure
tyres are at correct pressure, park the spreader on flat, level ground and measure the
height of the right rear tyre (closest to the floor gearbox). Adjust wheel size setting in
menu to match.
