SET-UP & ASSEMBLY
PREPARING MANURE SPREADER
The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires installed.
1. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to
the appropriate torque. Wheel bolts should be tightened at 85-95 ft./lbs. of torque.
2. Check the tires and inate to the recommended pressure. (10.00x22.5 tires to 75-85 psi.).
3. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened.
4. Securely retighten after a few hours of operation, as bolts can loosen up on new machinery.
5. Lubricate the machine completely, check the oil level of the gearbox, and ll if necessary.
NOTE: Determine right or left side of the Manure Spreader by viewing it from the rear. If instructions
or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to the Cap Screw Torque Value Chart.
TRANSPORTING
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing
farm equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.
Check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Never tow the manure
spreader on a public highway at a speed greater than 20 mph (32 kph).
1. Chain is su󰀩ciently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the manure spreader,
without placing tension on the chain.
2. Chain is of su󰀩cient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.
REFLECTORS
Regularly clean the reective tape at the rear of the spreader. There is a holder provided for your SMV
sign. Unless otherwise prohibited, use a slow-moving vehicle emblem.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Tractor Hitch
Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Remove the
weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from pipe mount and
place on convenient storage mount located on the left front of spreader. This allows protection of jack from
tractor tires during turns. The hitch of the spreader is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the
drawbar so that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. Extend or shorten it so that the horizontal distance
from the end of the tractor power takeo󰀨 shaft to the center of the hitch pin hole is 14 inches for 540 PTO
as shown in drawing. An improperly located hitch point may cause damage to the universal joints of the
power takeo󰀨. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line.
TRACTOR CONNECTIONS
If this implement is attached to a tractor with a clevis
hitch (hammer-strap) style drawbar, the hammer-
strap must be removed to prevent damage to the
IID guarding and the IID telescoping members. [See
Figure1]
If this implement is attached to a tractor with an
oset in the drawbar, be certain it is in the down
position to prevent damage to the IID guarding
and the IID telescoping members. [See Figure 2]
PTO
Attach the PTO of the spreader to the tractor by sliding the spring loaded
locking collar on PTO yoke rearward, then sliding it onto the tractor PTO
shaft. Release spring-loaded collar. Be sure the pins fall into the groove
of the tractor PTO shaft and collar snaps forward into locking position.
Attach the chain for the back half of the PTO to the manure spreader frame
as shown in the picture to secure the PTO shield. Attach the chain for
the front half of the PTO to the tractor drawbar to secure the PTO shield.
CAUTION: Do not use a steel hammer to aid in joining PTO parts.

-17-
LOADING
In freezing weather, make certain that hydraulic tail gate (if equipped with one) is not frozen to the sides
or on the oor of the spreader. Make sure the apron chain is not frozen to the spreader oor or any
lumps of manure are frozen to the oor. Begin loading the spreader at the front end and work toward the
rear until loading is completed. Loading this way permits the material to be spread uniformly. Loading
front to rear is particularly important when the spreader is loaded by a mechanical loader because this
type of load requires more power to spread than others loads. When hauling extremely heavy materials
with a large portion of dirt, it may be necessary to reduce the load size to prevent excessive shear bolt
breakage. Never dump material onto the beater. Do not use extra sideboards. Do not overload spreader.
Overloading decreases spreading e󰀨ectiveness. Do not load more than 15 inches above the beater.
SPREADING
NOTE: Two speed apron drive and beater engage/disengage mechanisms are contained in a single
gearbox at the rear of spreader. This gearbox is controlled by one rope leading to the tractor.
1. Make sure that the gear box is in the “low” position, with the shifter dog all the way to the “low” side
of the indicator slot.
2. Raise the hydraulic endgate (if so equipped).
3. Throttle tractor down, engage PTO, then increase the throttle to 540 RPMs and begin moving.
4. The apron speed may be increased from 4-1/2 FPM to 8-1/2 FPM (at 540 RPM) by pulling once on
the control rope until the shifter stops and locks into the “high speed” position. The beater will continue to
operate in this position.
5. When the spreader is almost empty, the bed can be cleaned out by again, pulling once on the control
rope until the shifter dog locks into the “clean-out/beater disengaged” position. The beater will stop,
and the apron will continue to run in the “high” speed position, thus saving unloading time.
6. When spreader is empty, SHUT OFF PTO. With the PTO o󰀨, pull the control rope once again and
release it. The shifter will return to the “low” position, ready to begin unloading the next load.
DO NOT SHIFT FROM CLEAN OUT TO LOW POSITION WITH THE PTO RUNNING.
7. NEVER operate the spreader with a PTO speed greater than 540 RPM.

ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust front drive chain, slightly loosen bolts holding pillow
block bearing at rear of front jack shaft. Loosen jam nut on
tightener rod. Turn adjusting nut (located at the right hand front
side of spreader) clockwise. There should be 1/2” deection at
the center of the drive chain. Overtightening or too loose of a
chain will result in excessive wear on the bearing, chain and
sprockets. Retighten bolts holding bearing. Recheck chain
tension. Retighten jam nut.

APRON SPEED AND BEATER CONTROL
One cable controls the beater and apron drive two speed gearbox. To compensate for wear or stretching
of this cable, adjust the turnbuckle behind shield at left hand front of spreader.
Refer to drawing at right to properly adjust manure
spreader. Position speed control in HI Speed.
Measurement (A) is 2-1/2 inches.
This is factory set and should not be changed. Do not
move bracket or collar on control rod. The distance
between collar and face of gearbox should be as
follows for the di󰀨erent speeds: (distance B)
LO Speed: 0” (tight against gearbox)
HI Speed: 7/16 -1/2”
CLEAN OUT: 3/4-1 1/16”
If collar on control rod does not pull tight to gearbox
in LO Speed, after HI Speed has been properly ad-
justed, apply more tension to return spring behind
shield at right hand front of spreader. To adjust spring,
hook end of spring one chain link shorter on spring
attaching chain.
