OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR MARSHALL MUCK SPREADER HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU LONG
& RELIABLE SERVICE, ENSURED BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
Operating the Muck Spreader:
Open the hydraulically operated lid to allow for better access.
It is advisable that you do not cover the starters at either end of the main rotor shaft with solid
type muck as this will significantly increase the time the spreader will take to get started.
Once you have loaded the spreader close the hydraulic lid, if the spreader is over filled this will
not matter, simply place the hydraulic lever in the float position and when the spreader starts it
will continue closing.
Start the PTO shaft at low engine revs and increase the speed until you are satisfied with the
spread rate and pattern.
As the spreader continues and the flail chains get to work it will be necessary to either increase
the forward speed or decrease the rotor speed to keep the same spread rate and pattern.
When the load is discharged always reduce the engine revs to idling prior
to shutting off the PTO shaft only.

1. Always disengage PTO shaft when turning.
2. Never spread with the muck spreader lid in the open position.
3. Always couple the spreader brakes and lights up every time you use the spreader this
reduces the chance of corrosion and the brake mechanism seizing due to lack of use.
Before using check the following:
1. Ensure there is tension in the drive line and that side play does not exceed 20mm.
2. Ensure that all bolts that are not accessible when the guard is in place, particularly those
securing the small drive shaft bearings, are tight.
3. Ensure that the locknuts on the chain tension adjusters are not loose.
4. Lubricate all bearings as necessary –those in the PTO shaft (one grease point in each
knuckle), two on the main rotor shaft bearings and four on the input shaft bearings.
5. Ensure all nuts and bolts are secure.
6. Check the hydraulic hoses for wear or damage and ensure the couplings are clean.
7. Check the flails and flail heads for damage.
8. Drain any accumulation of water as necessary as frozen water can cause damage
to the drive line.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Hubs / Bearings must be greased regularly; we recommend they are checked after
the first fourteen days’ work, then six monthly thereafter.
2. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly (See page 6).
3. Wheel nuts should be checked when the machine is new, then after operating for
one hour, then one day and weekly thereafter. The same procedure applies if nuts
have been removed and replaced.
4. Check the tow hitch for wear and replace accordingly.
5. Lights should be kept clean and if not in use for some length of time, coating with
some form of oil spray is recommended.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Always adjust brakes with the spreader on
a completely level surface. This can be done
by loosening the nut behind the clevis, then
rotating the piston, adjustment will appear
from the ram. Remember to tighten the
locknut when completed.
IF THE MUCK SPREADER IS NOT TO BE USED FOR A CONSIDERABLE PERIOD
OF TIME THE FOLLOWING TASKS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT TO MAINTAIN
IT IN GOOD CONDITION.
1. Remove the drain cover and clean the muck spreader thoroughly with cold water
at a moderate pressure. Do not replace the drain cover until the muck spreader
is ready for use again.
2. Ensure the lid is in the up position before uncoupling the hose.
3. Touch-up any scraped or damaged paintwork.
4. All grease nipples should be greased, and the machine run for 15 minutes
to work in the lubricant.
HISTORICAL CHANGES
1. 1976 - Lid ram changed to pulling lid ram.
2. 1996 - Brakes fitted.
3. 1998 - MS/85 used 60mm bearings on input shaft up to 1998.
4. 1999 - Chain tensioning brackets on all models used a bolt on front until 1999.
5. 2001 - Larger lid fitted.
6. 2001 - Lights fitted to MS60, MS70, MS85, MS105/T & MS155/T.
