4. DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Manure spreaders MKL are metal-structure machines intended for manure transportation to the field
and spreading of manure. Manure spreaders are equipped with two vertical manure spreading beaters.
The chassis of the manure spreader has working pneumatic brakes, dependant on the weight of the
load being carried. The parking brake is controlled manually using a screw and acts through the friction
elements of the working brake of the front axle. The tractor manure spreader are equipped with warning
signalling lights and may be used when driving by public roads.
Manure spreaders are manufactured in accordance with EU no. 167/2013 and the requirements of
functional safety in the EU 2015/208.

4.1 Frame
The frame consists of a thick-walled rectangular profile metal pipe welded structure, which has
mounting places for the drawbar, chassis, body, and other necessary assemblies.
4.2 Chassis
The single-axle chassis consists of a rigid axle whose hubs have wheel mounting bolts and drum
braking mechanisms with extendable cams.
Manure spreaders can be equipped with two or three axle chassis with an automatic steering system.
Two axles chassis drives one axle, three axle drives two (first and third). The steering axle hubs can rotate
around the vertical joins at the ends of the axle. The angle of rotation of the hubs is regulated by a
trapezoidal steering rod system. When moving forward, the force of inertia of the load weight acts on the
wheels and turns them towards the trajectory of the tractor wheels. This significantly reduces the
extraneous forces acting on the wheels and hubs, reduces tire wear and improves the manoeuvrability of
the manure spreader. The vibration of the axle trapezoidal steering rods is reduced by shock absorbers.
Using a manure spreader with a two-axle chassis, when driving forward the steering axle hubs rotation
is followed by a hydraulic cylinder inserted in between the hubs, which is switched to floating mode while
driving. When reversing the hydraulic cylinder switches to wheel straightening mode, straightens and locks
the wheels in the straightened position. The wheels do not steer when driving backwards.
ATTENTION!
If the chassis of the manure spreader has steering axle(s), those must be locked when reversing!
Also it must be locked when driving above 25 km/h speed!
4.3 Body
The body is tight, on the back it has two vertical manure spreaders (optionally with spreading discs),
manure pushing out chain transporter, lifting back cover.
4.4 Variable-height support foot
The manure spreader can be equipped with a mechanical or hydraulic variable-height support foot.
