SHORT DESCRIPTION
The RINK Disc Spreader DS1600 is used for spreading fine-grained, loose grit such as sand,
gravel or similar. The spreading device of the disc spreader is driven by a gearbox with a
hydraulic motor for the conveyor belt and one hydraulic motor each for the spreading discs.
The speed of the hydraulic motors for the conveyor belt and the spreading discs is fully
adjustable via a flow regulator. The grit can thus be precisely metered. The spreading width
and spread rate can be determined by the travel speed, spreading disc speed and conveyor
belt speed.

FIRST START-UP
- Tighten wheel nuts.
- Check wheel hub play and adjust if necessary.
- Check tyre pressure.
- If the RINK Disc Spreader DS1600 is to be used on public roads, the registration plate
must be attached to the rear left-hand side on the mounting plate provided for this purpose
(only possible with permission to use and after registration has been completed).
- Check the lighting system.
Check these points again after the first loaded run!

OPERATION
Attachment and detachment
- Adjust the hitch (1) to the tractor. To do this, loosen the bolts of the hitch (1), adjust to the
correct height and retighten the bolts (see page 9 - Fig. 1).
- Hitch RINK Disc Spreader DS1600 to tractor.
- Connect hydraulic lines (3) and (4) to tractor as a closed oil circuit is required (see page 10
- Fig. 2).
- Securely attach the valve actuator (5) for the conveyor belt to the tractor using the holder
provided (see page 10 - Fig. 2).
- With external oil supply (see page 18)Place the slip-on pump on the tractor’s PTO shaft
attachment and secure it against twisting with the help of the attached torque support. The
PTO shaft may only be switched on at idle speed, as switching on the PTO shaft under
load can cause the gearbox-pump connecting pinion to break. For optimum operation, the
PTO shaft speed should be approx. 450 rpm, which corresponds to 25 l/min. The oil
temperature at the start of work should be approx. 25oC (sight glass on the oil tank), if
necessary let the hydraulic system warm-up. A too low PTO shaft speed or a too low oil
temperature will impair the spreading performance. Before beginning work, check the oil
level in the hydraulic tank (sight glass centre). The hydraulic system is filled with Plantosyn
3268 ECO hydraulic oil ex-works. Too little oil can damage or destroy the hydraulic pump.
Plug in the seven-pole connector of the lighting system on the tractor.
(see page 19 - Fig. 13).
- Crank up the support wheel (2) completely, then loosen the support wheel clamp and pull
the support wheel (2) up as far as possible and clamp it (see page 9 - Fig. 1).
Lay the hydraulic hoses so that they do not rub against the ground or the
tractor.
Detach in reverse order!
Depressurise the hydraulics on the tractor before detaching.
