It is extremely important that the following lubrication schedule be followed: Bearings: Use a good
quality multipurpose grease. Replace all damaged or missing grease zerks immediately. Always clean zerks
before using grease gun. Pump the grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Once
a month check lines and connections on grease banks for leaks.
GEARBOX Oil: Use a good high quality gear lube. Use a gear lube that meets or exceeds the specifications
listed below. Change yearly or whenever contaminated.
Before operating a new spreader, the roller chains should be liberally lubricated and then the unit operated
under a no-load condition. This break-in period will allow the roller chains to be thoroughly lubricated and thus
minimize heat-up during operation.

SPREADER SETUP
Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Decal sections of this manual before
operating this spreader.
•
SPREADER RUN-IN
1. CHECK FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY, adjustment, and lubrication. Oil all roller chains and
check to be sure all bolts and set screws are tight. Review Operating Safety Precautions and
Lubrication Instructions for more information.
2. BE SURE ALL SHIELDS ARE PROPERLY IN PLACE, including any tractor driveline shields.
3. CHECK FOR AND REMOVE ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE SPREADER BOX AND
DISCHARGE AREA.
4. BE SURE NO ONE IS NEAR THE SPREADER.
5. TEST RUN THE SPREADER.
a. Raise and lower the hydraulic endgate several times.
b.Raise and lower the hydraulic beater kick-out several times. (If equipped)
(Note: Follow instructions listed under BEATER KICK-OUT OPTION.)
c.With the spreader empty and the hydraulic endgate raised, start the apron
and beaters.
d.Run for at least 5 minutes at the recommended operating speed.
e.Stop the spreader, turn off the towing vehicle engine and remove the ignition keys.
f.Check the spreader drive components to be sure they are not abnormally hot.
Refer to Inspection and Adjustment section for the proper alignment and tension settings.
If any of these items are not running as indicated, immediately repair or contact your service
representative. Always refer to Operating Safety Precaution before operating or servicing the spreader.
PTO DRIVELINE
The DM 5000 series spreaders equipped with vertical beaters use a PTO clutch system to protect
the drive system components from overload. Your PTO clutch is located in the rear of the spreader
between the driveline and the beater assembly gearbox. When an overload condition is encountered
the clutch will disengage and the beaters will stop rotating. The clutch will produce an audible clicking
noise. This is your signal to throttle down, disable your apron drive, and disengage your PTO.
Disengaging the PTO will allow the overload clutch to reset itself.
Before restarting the spreader set the parking brake, shut off the motor, remove the key from
the ignition and visibly check for any obstructions in the beaters.
Note: If your spreader is equipped with the beater KICK-OUT option please read and follow the
instructions as presented under the “BEATER KICK-OUT OPTION” section of this manual.
NEVER CHECK THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS OPERATING!
After carefully removing any obstructions from the beaters make sure the discharge area is clear of all
personnel and tools before restarting the motor.
Restart the motor, and engage the PTO. Listen for the clutch and make sure it is not clicking.
If the beaters are running free, place the towing vehicle in gear and proceed with forward motion while
slowly engaging the apron drive.
The DM 5000 series spreaders that are equipped with horizontal beaters will have a PTO with a shear
bolt for driveline protection. This PTO with shear bolt is located in the same area as mentioned above
for the PTO clutch and the same proceedure should be followed when the replacement of the shear
bolt is necessary. Always replace the shear bolt with the same size and grade bolt that has been
provided which is a 1/4 x 2 grade 5 bolt.

SPREADER OPERATION
Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before
operating this spreader.
LOADING
Before loading the spreader, be sure the hydraulic endgate is closed and there are no obstructions in
the beaters or discharge opening. Inspect the spreader to see that it is in good mechanical condition
and that all shields are in place and functional.
NEVER CHECK THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS OPERATING!
In freezing weather, make sure the apron and endgate are not frozen with manure. If
this apperars likely, turn off the truck and remove the ignition keys, loosen the frozen
area and operate before loading.
AVOID LOADING ROCKS AND OTHER SOLID OBJECTS INTO THE SPREADER.
OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING, BE SURE NO ONE IS NEAR THE SPREADER AND THAT THE DISHCARGE
AREA IS CLEAR OF ALL OBJECTS OR PERSONS THAT COULD BE HARMED IF MATERIAL WAS
DISCHARGED.
1. With the towing vehicle stopped and the engine throttled down, place the transmission in a gear that
will provide the proper ground speed.
NOTE: For best results, steps 2-5 should be done as smoothly and quickly as possible.
2. Adjust apron speed to lowest speed selection.
3. Engage the PTO.
4. Raise the end gate to full up position.
5. Start towing vehicle in motion, accelerate the throttle to PTO speed and engage the apron drive.
DO NOT EXCEED THE PTO SPEED!
6. The spread rate is controlled by the engine RPM, ground speed and apron speed. The type of
material being spread affects the rate at which the material is discharged from the spreader.
Semi-liquid materials will discharge faster than the more solid type materials. By coordinating the
ground speed with the apron speed, the coverage can be varied from a light to a heavy spread.
7. When the spreader is empty, shut off the apron drive, lower the endgate and disengage the
PTO. During freezing conditions, be sure that the spreader is cleaned out to prevent the apron
from freezing down.
8. In extremely cold weather allow the spreader hydraulic system to warm up before loading.
Ifa problem should occur while unloading the spreader, or if you want to clean off the spreader
after it is empty, NEVER leave the cab without first disengaging the PTO and turning off
the engine and removing the ignition key.

SPREADER OPERATION
COLD WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
IN FREEZING WEATHER, make sure the apron, beaters and the endgate are not frozen with manure. If this
appears likely, disengage the PTO, turn off the engine, remove ignition key, and loosen the frozen area before
loading and immediately clean after spreading.
CHECK THE DISCHARGE AREA. Be sure the gate is clear of frozen material, and the discharge area is clean.
Run the gate up and down several times before loading and after spreading to help keep the sides clear. It is
best to leave the gate partially open during storage to help avoid freezing down.
In extremely cold weather allow spreader hydraulic system to warm up before loading.
NEVER CHECK OR CLEAN THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS OPERATING!
INSPECT AND ADJUST
SAFETY SHIELDING to be sure all shielding is in place and functioning properly. Replace all damaged or
missing shielding immediately! Contact your nearest dealer or the Sioux Automation Inc, parts and service
department for more information.
Check bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter, and tighten if necessary.
Roller Chain Tighteners to apply sufficient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. Also check
roller chain for wear, proper alignment and tension and replace if necessary. Roller chain connector links must
have the legs of the cotter pins facing the trailing end of chain.
Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable,
they should be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean!
IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do Not allow the current to flow through the bearings or
roller chains. Ground directly to the item being welded.
Periodically check all set screws and bolts and retighten if necessary.
Apron chains for wear, proper alignment and tension.
Be sure to keep tension on the apron chains. The apron tightner bolts are located at the front of the unit
at each end of the apron shafts. They should be adjusted evenly for their respective assembly.
If apron is still loose, remove one link from each side of that apron chain assembly and readjust to tension.
CAUTION: Over tightening can cause premature failure of the drive components.

BEATER KICK-OUT OPTION
Some models have the beater “Kick-Out” option to allow for easier removal of obstructions in the spreader. If an
obstruction is encountered the following procedure must be followed.
1. DISABLE APRON DRIVE. DISENGAGE PTO. STOP ENGINE, AND REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION!
2. Disconnect the PTO to the beaters from the output shaft at the rear of the spreader.
3. Chain the two halves of the PTO together using the chain provided and move PTO to ensure it is clear
of any driveline components.
4. Remove the four bolts holding the beater assembly to the spreader box.
5. Start engine.
6. Extend the beater assembly out. Insert cylinder stops on both kick-out cylinders.
(Cylinder stops are located on both sides of the beater assembly.)
7. STOP ENGINE, AND REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION!
8. Carefully clear all obstructions.
9. When cleanout is complete ensure that all personnel are clear from the discharge area before restarting
the engine.
10. Restart engine and ensure that kick-out cylinders are fully extended.
11. Remove cylinder stops from both kick-out cylinders and return them to their storage position.
12. Lower the beater assembly.
13. STOP ENGINE, AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY.
14. Replace four bolts removed earlier from beater assembly.
15. Unchain the PTO and reconnect to the output shaft. Make sure that the PTO is locked in place
on the output shaft.
DANGER!
ALWAYS DISENGAGE PTO, STOP ENGINE AND REMOVE INGITION KEY
BEFORE SERVICING ANY COMPONENT ON THIS EQUIPMENT. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS RULE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
