OBSERVE MAXIMUM TRANSPORT SPEED
The maximum transport speed for this implement is 32 km/h (20 mph).
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 implement’s 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.

Study The Above Safety Rules
ATTENTION - BE ALERT - YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED
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
SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS. KNOW HOW TO STOP UNLOADING MECHANISM BEFORE STARTING IT.
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 o󰀨 the tractor while the spreader is in operation.
DO NOT attempt to perform maintenance or repair with tractor running and PTO or hydraulic lines hooked
up.
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 oppy 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 o󰀨 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 their safety into consideration and guards exposed moving parts for
their 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. 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 340 ft/lbs. of torque.
2. Check the tires and inate to the recommended pressure.
(700/50R-26.5 tires to 35 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, ll if necessary.
-16-
WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or
shields removed for clarication. Never operate machine until these guards or
shields are in proper operating position.
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 Torques 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 reective tape at the rear of the spreader. There is a holder
provided for your SMV sign.
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. 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 su󰀩ciently 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 su󰀩cient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Tractor Hitch
Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Use 1-1/2”
diameter hitch pin to pull spreader. Remove the weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader
is loaded). 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 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 takeo󰀨.
Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line.
TRACTOR CONNECTIONS
-18-
Hydraulics
The spreader requires a 4-hose hook-up;
1. Connect the set of hydraulic hoses which operates the Manure Spreader hydraulic apron drive 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 the apron.
4. Operate the tractor valve to ll the hydraulic lines and operate the cylinders. Add hydraulic uid 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.
