! SAFETY REGULATIONS !
(1) The Topdresser DS800/DS1200 is built solely for spreading small-grained, loose material
such as sand, small granular material or similar products.
Any other usage is not in accordance with the indicated use. The manufacturer
does not answer for any damage resulting from incorrect usage. The user alone
has to incur the risk.
Usage in accordance with the intended use also includes compliance with the
manufacturer’s conditions of operation, maintenance and repair.
(2) The spreader is built according to prior art and operationally reliable; however,
the spreader could put life and limb of the operator or of third persons
at risk if it
is not used, maintained and repaired by persons who are familiar with it and have
been informed of the dangers.
(3) Any person who, in the plant of the user, is responsible for the operation,
maintenance and repair of the spreader, must have read and understood the
operating instructions and, in particular, this chapter, Safety Regulations.
Detach the spreader from the towing vehicle during maintenance and service work.
Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer for repairs.
Alongside the references in these operating instructions, the general regulations
for safety and for prevention of accidents must be observed.
When using public roads, the corresponding provisions (e.g. StVZO) will be
in force.
Accompanying persons are not allowed !
(4) A spreader may only be towed along public roads once it holds the necessary
registration. Complete road-worthiness certificate, licensing permit and the
additional safety facilities necessary for this (Lighting set, wheel chocks)
#
are
obtainable on request of the customer.
(5) The operator is obliged to check the spreader for any external damage or
failure before putting it into operation. Any changes (including operating
performance) which might affect safety must immediately be remedied. Changes
to and rebuilding of the spreader (other than changes allowed by the
manufacturer) are, for reasons of safety, not allowed.

! SAFETY REGULATIONS !
(6) Before starting work, the operator must make himself familiar with all fittings and controls as well
as their functioning.
Spreaders must be properly attached (Risk of injuries !)
Before driving away, check the immediate vicinity and care for a good field of vision.
(7) Whilst spreading is in operation, no one is allowed to enter the loading ramp.
A label with this notice is stuck on both sides of the spreader. This notice must always be well
legible and has to be replaced if damaged!
(8) Whilst the spreader is in operation, do not enter the zone of danger of the spreader since rotating
parts and foreign flying particles might cause any injuries.
(9) Adjusting and repair work on axle (wheel bearings, tyres) must only be undertaken by properly
trained and authorised personnel.
(10) Before starting work on the hydraulic system, it is important that it is without pressure.
The hydraulic hose pipes must be regularly checked and replaced if damaged or worn out. The
replacement hose pipes must conform with the manufacturer’s technical requirements.
(11) The authorized supporting load on the towing vehicle should be noted.
(12) A sound level of 74 dB (a) is emitted in the immediate vicinity of the spiners on the Topdresser
DS800/DS1200.
Used oil damages the environment; please dispose of carefully

SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Topdresser DS800/DS1200 is used for spreading small-grained, loose material, such as sand,
small granular material or similar products. The spreading equipment of the Topdresser is driven
by a gear box with hydraulic motor for conveyor belt and a separate hydraulic motor for each
spinner. The number of revolutions of the hydraulic system for the conveyor belt and spinners can
be continuously adjusted independently by means of a flow divider. Spreading density or
spreading amount can be determined by the tractors speed, spinner speed and conveyor belt speed.

INITIAL OPERATING
* Should the spreader be used on public roads
(German law: only possible with licensing certificate and registration)
- Attach license plate to plate holder at the left-handed rear side.
- Check lighting set
#
.
* After the first ride with a full load
- Retighten wheel nuts.
- Check wheel hub clearance and have it adjusted, if necessary.
- Test tyre pressure.
For DS800 Mounted machine on utility vehicle
- Take away loading ramp of vehicle
- Connect complete machine with subframe (same as with ramp) on the
connecting points, and secure machine with pin.
- Install hydraulic pipes under machine to the back.
OPERATION
Before every ride
- Check for any externally recognizable failures or damage and repair them.
- Check tyre pressure.
- Check lighting
#
.
- Check conveyor belt tread, reset if necessary. Conveyor belt must not
graze the sides.

7
OPERATION
Coupling and taking off
- Attach spreader to towing vehicle.
- Mount spreader on back of utility vehicle.
- Carry out hydraulic connection (see page 8 for further details):
- Oil circulation is required. Install valve (5) for conveyor belt on towing vehicle.
Please use therefore enclosed bracket.
- With External Oil Supply
#
, mount the plug-on pump on the PTO driver on the
tractor and secure against slippage using the mounted torque support.
(PTO speed 450 rpm).
To ensure optimum operation, the oil temperature should have reached a
temperature of around 25
o
C before starting work (see viewing window at the oil
tank). Not sufficient oil power, can reduce the spinner disc speed. Check the oil level
before starting work (centre of the oil viewing window).
- Plug the seven-pole plug
#
into towing vehicle.
! Hydraulic hoses in such a way that they do not drag
to the ground or chafe at the towing vehicle.
Taking off the spreader is carried out in an analogous way.
Loading
- Pay attention to the desired maximum ground pressure.
- When loading, pay attention for the authorized total weight.

SPREADING
If you run the machine, the spinner discs will be activated immediately. The conveyor belt and the
closing gate will be activated with the valve (5). First the gate opens and part of a second later the
conveyor belt starts moving. Before starting work, please choose gate opening 1-4 at the rear of the
machine.
Controls:
1 Regulator for setting the speed of the conveyor belt
2 Regulator for setting the speed of the spinner discs
3 Revers hydraulic line
4 Power hydraulic line
5 Valve for activating conveyor belt and gate
Adjusting spreading thickness:
The spreading thickness (mm) is dependent on
- the speed of the towing vehicle
- the speed of the conveyor belt (regulator)
- the speed of the spinner discs
- the gate opening
Set the controller for the conveyor belt speed to the required value.
Set the controller for the spinner disc speed to the required value.
Activate valve for gate and conveyor belt
Different spreading material needs different adjustments. On the machines DS800/DS1200 we
have given you all possibilities to adjust a very even spreading pattern.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Adjust sand droping plate (according to requirements)
The sand droping plate has to be adjusted, if the spreading pattern is uneven. Therefore you have to
increase or reduce the angle of the plate. In addition, each spreading showel can be adjusted as well.
- Loose screw (1)
- Droping plate (2) in requested position.
- Tighten srew (1)
Stretch conveyor belt (in case of slipping)
-Loosen counternut (1).
-Turn nut (2) once clockwise.
-Tighten counternut.
! Excessive stretching can reduce the life span of the conveyor belt .

14
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Installing and removing the conveyor belt
- Loosen screws on both sides (1) and remove the chassis.
- Remove the spreading device by loosening the screws (2).
- Release the tension on the conveyor belt on both sides (3).
- Remove the bearing on the right seen in the direction of travel (4).
- Pull away the side element (5) with tension bearing (6).
- Remove the conveyor belt.
The reassembly takes place in reverse order.
Stretching conveyor belt after assembly
- Mark a disctance of 1000 mm (39”) in the loose condition of the belt. Spann the belt
with the 2 tension bolts to a length of 1003 mm (40”).
- Allow the conveyor belt to run in for approx. 30 minutes until it runs centrally.
The conveyor belt should not graze the sides. If readjustment is
necessary increase tension on the side which is doing the grazing.
Too much tension will reduce the life span of the conveyor belt.
