3. Using the Auger Lock-out System
A. Shut off spinner and auger and position the main
hydraulics on/off lever to off.
B. Remove the lock-out pin, rotate the handle, and
insert the pin through the holes in the handle and
the bracket to prevent accidental engagement of the
hydraulics. (see illustration below)
C. The lower tray may now be opened for servicing
the auger.
D. After servicing, first close and lock the tray then
reverse the steps to move the handle and pin back to
their original positions. BE SURE TO REINSERT THE
LOCK-OUT PIN THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE
HANDLE AND THE BRACKET.
E. Turn the main hydraulics back on and the spreader
is ready for operation.
DANGER
Before working in or around the auger area, the valve
control lever must be in the off position. Disengage PTO,
shut off engine, and follow the auger lock-out instructions.
MAKE SURE THE LOCK-OUT PIN IS ALWAYS USED IN BOTH
THE ON AND OFF POSITIONS. After servicing is complete,
reverse the process to restore the spreader function.
NEVER PUT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY INSIDE THE AUGER
AREA OF SPREADER.

4. Miscellaneous
A. Valve setting changes may be made with truck in
motion.
B. By moving on/off lever to the off position, spinner
and auger may be stopped at the same time without
changing their valve settings.
C. Close cover plate flat over spreader trough and
lock in place for normal use of dump truck. Tailgate
may be opened from top or bottom.
D. When truck is used for extensive hauling the
spinner assembly should be removed.
E. If auger clogs, shut off spinner, open auger knob
valve and increase the engine speed. With the engine
at a higher speed, move the valve lever from the on to
the off positions rapidly; repeat as needed. This action
may unclog the auger. If this action fails to free the
auger, manual unclogging will be required.
CAUTION
Position the valve on/off control lever in the off position
when the spreader is not in use or is removed. In the
event the valve on/off control lever is left in the on posi-
tion, a heat problem may occur as the pump continues to
pump oil to the hydraulic valve. This could cause a hose
to burst spraying hot oil.
Recommended Maintenance
A. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
B. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade
nonfoaming hydraulic oil.
C. Use precautions to keep contaminants from getting
in reservoir when filling.
D. Quick connects are a prime source of contamination.
1. Clean quick connects before connecting or
disconnecting them.
2. Protect quick connects from contaminates.
E. Lubricate all bearings with suitable type grease
on a regular basis. More frequent lubrication is
recommended during periods of heavy use.
F. Lubricate the spinner hinge rod periodically.
G. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all
gearboxes with SAE 90 gear lubricant.
H. When not in use, keep the spreader tray empty to
prevent freezing of material around auger in extremely
cold weather.
I. To extend the life of your spreader:
1. Hose down and clean after each use.
2. Repaint and/or oil after each season.
