The maximum transport speed for this implement is 32 km/h (20 m.p.h.).
Some tractors are capable of operating at speeds that exceed the maximum
transport speed of this implement. Regardless of the maximum speed capability
of the tractor being used to tow this implement, do not exceed the implement’s
maximum transport speed.
Exceeding the implements maximum transport speed can result in:
* Loss of control of the tractor/implement combination
* Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
* Implement tire failure
* Damage to the implement structure or its components
Use additional caution and reduce speed when towing under adverse surface
conditions, when turning, and when on inclines.
Do not attempt transport if the fully loaded implement weighs more than 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.

BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO OPERATES OR WORKS
WITH THIS EQUIPMENT, WHETHER FAMILY MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE, IS FAMILIAR WITH THESE
SAFTEYPRECAUTIONS.KNOWHOWTOSTOPUNLOADINGMECHANISMBEFORESTARTINGIT.
If the machine becomes clogged, disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and
allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the machine.
“Never allow riders” in or on the machine.
DO NOT get off the tractor while the spreader is in operation.
DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance or repair with tractor running and PTO or hydraulic lines
hookedup.
DO NOT step up on machine at any time.
NEVER manually feed material into the beaters.
DO NOT allow minors to operate or be near the machine.
DO NOT ALLOW PERSONNEL OTHER THAN THE QUALIFIED OPERATOR NEAR THE MACHINE.
Before starting tractor, be sure PTO shields turn freely and PTO is securely locked to tractor.
DO NOT clean, adjust, or lubricate the machine when any part is in operation.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from beaters when they are revolving.
Loose or floppy clothing should not be worn by the operator.
Be sure the machine is clear of people, tools, and other objects before engaging PTO.
DO NOT step over power take off shaft. Stay clear of PTO at all times.
NEVER start manure spreader until all guards and safety shields are secured in place.
STAY CLEAR of Hydraulic Lines. They may be under extreme pressure or heat.
H&S always takes the operator and his safety into consideration and guards exposed moving parts for
his protection. However, some areas cannot be guarded or shielded in order to assure proper operation. In
addition, the operators manual and decals on the machine itself warn you of further danger and should
be read and observed closely.

SET-UP &ASSEMBLY
PREPARING MANURE SPREADER
The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires installed.
1. Attachthewheelswithtires, using the lugnutsfurnishedandtorquethe mounting hardware to the
appropriate torque.Wheel bolts should be tightened at 100 ft/lbs. of torque
on 4142 and 300 ft/lbs. of torque on the 4155.
2. Check the tires and inflate to the recommended pressure(425/65R-22.5 tires to 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, fill if necessary. Check the
automatic oiler level if spreader is equipped, fill if necessary.

WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or
shields removed for clarification. Never operate machine until these guards
or shields are in proper operating position.
NOTE: Determinerightor leftsideoftheManureSpreader by viewing it from the rear. If instructions
or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to the Cap Screw Torque Value page to identify.

-17-
TRANSPORT LIGHTING & REFLECTORS
When transporting on the highway, connect the spreader to the tractor with a lighting power cord. The
lighting system is to be connected to the 7 pin power receptacle (per SAEJ560B) on your tractor. If your
tractor is not equipped with the proper receptacle, see your tractor dealer for details. Make sure lights
are functioning properly. Regularly clean the reflective tape at the rear of the spreader. There is a holder
providedforyourSMVsign.
TRANSPORTING
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing
farmequipmentonpublichighways.Apropersafetychainshouldbeusedtoretainthe 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. Unless otherwise
prohibited, use a slow-moving vehicle emblem. Never tow the manure spreader on a public highway at a
speed greater than 20 mph (32 kph).
1. The chain is sufficiently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the manure
spreader, without placing tension on the chain.
2. The chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Tractor Hitch
ATTENTION: Removetractorquickcoupler (If equipped).Tractor three point arms should be removedor
positionedsothey cannotcomein contactwith spreader.Failure to heed will cause damage to spreader
and Void Warranty.
Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Use 1-1/2”
diameterhitchpinto pull spreader. Removetheweightfromthe jack (jackisnotto be usedwhenspreader
is loaded). Remove jack from pipe mount and place on convenient storage mount located on the side of
the left push frame brace. 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
takeoff shaft to the center of the hitch pin hole is 14 inches for 540 PTO and 15-3/4” for 1000 PTO as
shown in drawing. An improperly located hitch point may cause damage to the universal joints of the
power takeoff. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line.

15-3/4”for1000RPM
Hydraulics
The spreader requires a 4 hose hook-up;
1. Connect the set of hydraulic hoses which operate the Manure Spreader hydraulic push gate from the
spreader to a double acting valve on the tractor.
2. Connect the set of hydraulic hoses which operate the hydraulic endgate to another double acting
valve on the tractor.
3. The hydraulic endgate must be raised completely prior to activating hydraulics for pusher.
4. Operate the tractor valve to fill the hydraulic lines and operate the cylinders.Add hydraulic fluid to the
tractor system, as required.
Note: Before operation, run the machine slowly to make sure that the Manure Spreader is operating and
lubricated properly.
