MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all mes.
2. Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
4. Safety decals or signs are available from your dealer’s Parts Department or our Cedar Rapids factory.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean Surface
Wash the installaon surface with a synthec, free-rinsing detergent. Avoid washing the surface with a soap
containing creams or loon. Allow to dry.
2. Posion Safety Decal
Decide on the exact posion before applicaon. Applicaon marks may be made on the top or side edge of
the decal with a lead pencil, marking pen, or small pieces of masking tape. NOTE: Do not use chalk line, china
marker, or grease pencil. Safety decals will not adhere to these.
3. Remove the Liner
A small bend at the corner or edge will cause the liner to separate from the decal. Pull the liner away in a
connuous moon at a 180-degree angle. If the liner is scored, bend at score and remove.
4. Apply Safety Decal
a. Tack decal in place with thumb pressure in upper corners.
b. Using rm inial squeegee pressure, begin at the center of the decal and work outward in all direcons with
overlapping strokes. NOTE: Keep squeegee blade even—nicked edges will leave applicaon bubbles.
c. Pull up tack points before squeegeeing over them to avoid wrinkles.
5. Remove Pre-mask
If safety decal has a pre-mask cover remove it at this me by pulling it away from the decal at a 180 degree
angle. NOTE: It is important that the pre-mask covering is removed before the decal is exposed to sunlight to
avoid the pre-mask from permanently adhering to the decal.
6. Remove Air Pockets
Inspect the decal in the at areas for bubbles. To eliminate the bubbles, puncture the decal at one end of the
bubble with a pin (never a razor blade) and press out entrapped air with thumb moving toward the puncture.
7. Re-Squeegee All Edges.

7. Some parts and
assemblies are
quite heavy. Before
aempng to
unfasten any heavy
part or assembly,
arrange to support
it by means of a
hoist, by blocking
or by use of an
adequate arrangement to prevent it from falling,
pping, swinging or moving in any manner which
may damage it or injure someone. Always use
liing device that is properly rated to li the
equipment. Do not li loaded spreader. NEVER
LIFT EQUIPMENT OVER PEOPLE.
8. If repairs require use
of a torch or electric
welder, be sure
that all ammable
and combusble
materials are
removed. Fuel or
oil reservoirs must
be emped, steam
cleaned and lled
with water before aempng to cut or weld them.
DO NOT weld or ame cut on any tank containing
oil, gasoline or their fumes or other ammable
material, or any container whose contents or
previous contents are unknown.
9. Keep a fully charged re exnguisher readily
available at all mes. It should be a Type ABC or a
Type BC unit.
10. Cleaning solvents should be used with care.
Petroleum based solvents are ammable and
present a re hazard. Don’t use gasoline. All
solvents must be used with adequate venlaon,
as their vapors should not be inhaled.
1. Maintenance includes all
lubricaon, inspecon,
adjustments (other
than operaonal control
adjustments such as
feedgate openings,
conveyor speed, etc.)
part replacement, repairs
and such upkeep tasks as
cleaning and painng.
2. When performing any
maintenance work, wear proper protecve
equipment—always wear eye protecon—safety
shoes can help save your toes—gloves will help
protect your hands against cuts, bruises, abrasions
and from minor burns—a hard hat is beer than a
sore head!
3. Use proper tools for the job
required. Use of improper
tools (such as a screwdriver
instead of a pry bar, a pair of
pliers instead of a wrench, a
wrench instead of a hammer)
not only can damage the
equipment being worked on, but can lead to
serious injuries. USE THE PROPER TOOLS.
4. Before aempng any maintenance work (including
lubricaon), shut o power completely. DO NOT
WORK ON RUNNING MACHINERY!
5. When guards and covers are removed for any
maintenance, be sure that such guards are
reinstalled before unit is put back into operaon.
6. Check all screws, bolts and nuts for proper torques
before placing equipment back in service. Refer to
torque chart in this manual.

11. When baeries are
being charged or
discharged, they
generate hydrogen
and oxygen gases. This
combinaon of gases
is highly explosive. DO
NOT SMOKE around
baeries—STAY AWAY
FROM FLAME—don’t
check baeries by shorng terminals as the
spark could cause an explosion. Connect and
disconnect baery charger leads only when
charger is “o”. Be very careful with “jumper”
cables.
12. Baeries contain strong sulfuric acid—handle
with care. If acid gets on you, ush it o with
large amounts of water. If it gets in your eyes,
ush it out with plenty of water immediately and
get medical help.
13. Hydraulic uid under
high pressure leaking
from a pin hole are
dangerous as they
can penetrate the skin
as though injected
with a hypodermic
needle. Such liquids
have a poisonous effect and can cause
serious wounds. To avoid hazard, relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines or performing work on system. Any
uid injected into the skin must be treated
within a few hours as gangrene may result.
Get medical assistance immediately if such
a wound occurs. To check for such leaks,
use a piece of cardboard or wood instead
of your hand. Make sure all hydraulic
uid connections are tight and all hydraulic
hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to system. Wear protective
gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
14. The ne spray from a small hydraulic oil
leak can be highly explosive—DO NOT
SMOKE—STAY AWAY FROM FLAME OR
SPARKS.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model NL450C is a L5034G4 spreader mounted on the TR3000 trailer. It is intended for spreading feedlot
composted manure, waste water sludge, industrial waste, paper mill waste, compost, marl, poultry lier and y
ash.
The TR3000 is designed for aachment to specially equipped tractors. It’s equipped with brakes and oataon res
on a walking beam suspension.
The spreader is powered hydraulically and provides independent variable speed control for the spinner and full
automac ground speed control for the conveyor by means of a motorized valve with sha sensor. Tandem gear
type hydraulic pump provides the power to drive the spinner by means of a tractor PTO. The conveyor chain is
driven by the tractor hydraulics.
The 34” wide (86 cm) conveyor runs the full length of the hopper boom to deliver material to the spinners through
a hydraulically adjustable metering gate at the rear of the hopper body. A feedgate sight gauge allows monitoring
of the feedgate opening from the cab. The conveyor is driven by two orbital type hydraulic motors mounted to a 6
to 1 rao spur gear case. Two conveyor opons are available: pintle type chain joined by cross bars every third link
(#1) or every other link (#2).
The distributor spinner assembly has two 30” (76 cm) diameter discs. Each disc has the opon of four to six formed
and heat treated ns that are adjustable to radial angle. The spinner is fully adjustable by means of a rotang
handle.
This product is intended for commercial use only.
