Before attempting to install or operate the equipment, read and understand the manual thoroughly. Failure to
comply with this instruction constitutes improper use and will invalidate the warranty.
Throughout this manual there are highlighted text boxes containing warnings, cautions and notes.
Warnings are mandatory instructions to prevent serious injury or permanent damage.
Cautions are advisory instructions to ensure reliable operation of the equipment.
Notes are for convenient operation
Do not overload your spreader. The maximum permissible payload is 130 Kg. (3 bags of Urea)
Never use dirty product or product with stones or lumps.
Ensure that your towing vehicle is adequate for the task. The maximum tare weight is 190 Kg.
If using the spreader over hilly terrain the payload should be reduced to ensure that the spreader stability is

DESCRIPTION
The In-Ex Spreader 165 is a ground-driven spreader designed for application of pelleted fertilisers. It can also
be used for application of other products such as grass seed and magnesium oxide. The uniquely designed
165-litre translucent non-corrosive polyethylene hopper is specially profiled for good product flow and ease of
filling. A high-quality stainless steel agitator and shutter ensures even flow of product to the spinner. A unique
spinner design ensures wide, even spread of product over 180 degrees (Urea). The heavy-duty galvanised
frame is fitted with chunky turf tyres as standard. The drive train uses high quality steel and a double sealed
self-aligning bearing and heavy-duty gearbox for maximum durability. The drive can be disconnected using a
convenient pin clutch. The dual control levers allow instant setting of product feed rate and product control.

OPERATION
The product to be spread is placed in the hopper. When the spreader is towed forward, the right hand wheel
drives through the pin clutch and gearbox to turn the spinner in a clockwise direction. When the shutter handle
is pulled forward, the shutter at the bottom of the hopper rotates to an open position. The size of the opening is
set by a shutter stop lever, which locates into one of nine pre-set positions.
An extension of the spinner boss is connected to a stainless steel agitator arm inside the bottom of the hopper.
The agitator ensures that product flows continuously out of the hopper to the spinning disk.
A delivery chute on the bottom of the hopper ensures that product is delivered to the correct spot of the disk so
that the deflectors distribute the product over a wide angle behind and to each side of the spreader.
The drive from the wheel to the gearbox may be disengaged by removing a pin from the axle. The pin may
then be stowed by inserting it into a holder on the side of the frame.
A fabric hopper cover with an elastic band sewn into the outer edge to grip the lip of the hopper can be fitted to
prevent rain and debris from entering the hopper.

CALIBRATION
Check the application rate using the following formula:
Rate (Kg/ha) = Product applied (Kg) x 10,000
Distance travelled (metres) x spread width (metres).
Adjust either the Shutter Stop Lever or the speed of travel until the desired application rate is achieved.
NOTE
Because of variations in product characteristics, speedometer calibration and driving speed, the information in
the calibration guide should be regarded as a starting point only. It is recommended that the spreader be
calibrated before use.

7
OPERATING THE SPREADER
When the spreader has been correctly calibrated, the hopper may be filled to the required level and spreading
commenced.
To reduce agitator damage to product and to ensure that product is not forced past the agitator shaft when
towing the spreader to the area to be treated, the drive to the gearbox should be disconnected by removing
the pin from the drive axle until spreading is to be commenced. The pin can be stowed by inserting it through a
receptacle provided on the right hand side of the hopper frame.
WARNING
To prevent damage to the spreader do not tow the spreader at speeds in excess of 15 Kph.
To prevent inadvertent operation of the shutter while the spreader is in transit it is recommended that the
Shutter Stop Lever be moved to Position 1 to lock the shutter closed.
To prevent the shutter from vibrating closed when the spreader is operated over rough ground, the Shutter
Control Handle friction may be increased by tightening the adjustment nut at the bottom of the Handle.
Adjusting the Spread Pattern
The spreader has been set up for spreading pelletised fertiliser. When spreading lighter products or products
with a high powder content it may be necessary to adjust the deflectors on the spinner to centralise the spread
pattern. To shift the pattern to the left (facing forward) the inside end of the vanes should be moved anti-
clockwise. To shift the pattern to the right (facing forward) the inside end of the vanes should be adjusted
clockwise. These positions are highlighted in the diagram on the following page.

Shift to the right setup

Fitting the Rain Cover
The rain cover is permanently fitted via an aluminium bracket mounted on the back of the spreader. To fit the
rain cover to the hopper, pull the cover over the top of the spreader and pull the (bungee) cord down over the
lugs mounted on the frame.
MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance actions are mandatory for reliable use of the spreader.
Before Use
Check the tyre pressures and charge with air as required. The correct pressure is 12 psi. (80 Kpa)
Remove the gearbox drive pin and turn the spinner by hand to ensure that it is free to turn without
interference.
Check for any loose fasteners and tighten as required
Check the hopper to ensure that no debris is inside.
If the spreader has not been used for some time, grease the bearings (pay particular attention to the pin clutch
bearing).
Check the gearbox for leaks. If leaks are detected it will be necessary to drain and replenish the gearbox with
300ml of SAE 30 oil.
CAUTION
To replenish the gearbox the spreader may be inverted to place the filler plug uppermost. However in doing so
extreme care must be taken to prevent damage to the spinner and deflectors.
After Each Use or Daily when in Use
Remove all traces of product from the spreader by brushing or washing. Pay particular attention to areas
where product has accumulated and built up. Remove by scraping if necessary taking care not to damage the
surface finish of the spreader or its components.
If washing do not direct high-pressure water onto the gearbox, axle or wheel bearing seals.
After washing, grease the bearings (three places) and apply water displacing fluid such as WD 40 or LPS3 to
all metal parts.
Check for damaged or worn components and replace as required.
HINTS
When greasing the pin clutch bearing in the axle assembly, leave the pin in place. This will assist the grease to
fully enter the scroll in the axle and prevent the axle from being displaced if the bearing housing should be
over pressurised with grease.
If the drive axle is removed from the axle housing for any reason care must be taken to ensure that both the
axle scroll and bronze bush are clean and free of debris before reassembly.
To remove the agitator from the hopper knock out the roll pin or remove the bolt, which attaches the agitator
shaft to the spinner flange assembly then withdraw the agitator from inside the hopper.
