INTRODUCTION
You've just become the proud owner of an implement developed and produced with the
highest cutting-edge technology, which had the direct involvement of clients and farmers in its
development.
It is the first spreader made in Brazil, which combines a, rubberized conveyor and an
exclusive self-aligning conveyor belt unit. It is driven by the implement’s tires, which maintain a
constant distribution at any working speeds.
There are two distribution discs, which are product specific for granular or powdered
products, which will provide greater accuracy, uniformity and greater job widths.
Also, available on the main distribution tank is the Chinese Cap, which avoids the
overloading of product and product built-up in the tank chambers, thus contributing to proper
conveyor functionality and uniform distribution.
Additionally, it has a wheel drive train system which allows height adjustment and various
wheel base widths. Thus allowing for the job operations to proceed even after the vegetation has
sprouted or grown, without damaging the harvest. Its distribution main tank is made of Stainless
Steel, which has a high resistance to the distributed corrosive products , guaranteeing the durability
of the equipment.
The Hercules 10000/SS, being used properly and maintaining a scheduled maintenance
program, will have an extended longevity, thus increasing the financial returns of your investment.
So, with that in mind, it is extremely important that the operational manual be read thoroughly, and
should be consulted always when doubts or questions arise.
Stara offers its after-market sales services, to assist you and your dealer, in the hopes of
achieving the highest profitability and yield of your machine.
Note: This manual is available on our website: , and also additional
information on our complete line of products.

4 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The Hércules 10000/Stainless Spreader, is like any other piece of equipment, as with any
agricultural implement or machinery, certain precautionary measures are indispensable for the
avoidance of accidents. To do so, follow the these procedures:
- check that the tractor and the spreader are in good working condition;
- check the area around the spreader and the tractor before maneuvering them, so as not to trample
personnel, animals or other objects;
- upon engaging the spreader to the tractor traction bar, or the two hydraulic lift points, place the
engagement locking pin on the coupling gear;
- upon descending with the spreader, use the same required gear to climb(braking motor);
- upon covering the spreader with a tarp, avoid overfilling the main tank, and use the ladder, thus
avoiding any accidents;
- read and follow the instructions on the posted decals of the implement, which will also instruct you
on maintenance issues;
- never go near the drive-shaft while its in operation;
- never go near nor perform any maintenance on discs, without disengaging the PTO;
Figure 04

Figure 05
5 - MAINTENANCE
So that all available resources of the implement can be fully appreciated, with durability and
precision in mind, certain precautions should be adhered to:
- Do not allow sharp objects (metallic, rocks and other materials),which could damage the
conveyor belt to mix with the product to be distributed;
- Check for any misalignment of the conveyor belt in relationship to the machine, and/or distension
of the same. The belt uses internal components which maintain it centralized during the job. These
are factory set, and can be damage with excess over-tightening during adjustments (Figure 05) or
poor and careless alignments;
- For prolonged life expectancy and good conveyor belt operations, which are directly related to the
proper use of safety shields/guards to relieve the product load, thus avoiding overloading and
slippage of the same;
- Verify that the conveyor belt rollers are equally spaced thus avoiding product built-up of the same;
- After machine clean-up, be careful not to contaminate the rubber components with oil or similar
products;
- After using the implement, use a high pressure hose to wash it down (be sure not to use chemical
products, which may damage the paint finish of the machine), remove all product residue and bathe
all metalic parts in oil;
- When necessary, touch-up all paint finishes to avoid corrosion of metalic parts.
-do not step on the conveyor while its moving;
- retighten all screws/bolts before using the implement, take special care with the wheel nuts, the
goose-neck engagement and transmission case supports;
- after first 5 working hours, review all nuts and bolts and retighten as needed;
- adopt as a standard procedure to inspect daily all the wheel nuts and bolts and the gooseneck
5.1 - Transmission gear box oil change
Below are the suggested directives for changing the transmission gear box oil :
- The recommended oil for the gear box is the SAE 90 EP(with extreme pressure additives),
available by various manufacturers on the market (using Ipiranga’s Ipergerol EP 90, Ipiranga, or
Castrol’s Maxtron 90EP l).
- Change out the oil regularly (every 500 hrs), check for oil leaks.
- The gear case cannot operate with, low oil level or any contamination.

-
axle case- 0.6/l.
- The first time oil change should be done after 50 work hours.
- The gear case has a vent with a dip-stick to monitor the oil levels, which should be refilled when
necessary. On the triple case, the proper oil level line is the midway range of the case, where the oil
level indicator of the container is found.
- Regarding the triple case, when changing out the oil, remove the main oil container of the three
cases, and fill each case with one liter each, which makes up the set, allowing to release of any air
and bathing the whole transmission with oil.
- After harvesting has come to an end, it is recommended to clean all external surfaces of the unit
and to apply oil to contain any corrosion;
- When not in use, the unit should be kept in a covered place, thus avoiding exposure to rain and
solar radiation.
5.2 - Tire air pressure
- Tire, Dw13.6” x 38” ; 14Ply ( Cross wheel)
- 40 lbs/in²
-Tire, 12.4” x 24” ; 10Ply ( Tandem wheel)
-Tire, 14.9” x 26”; 12Ply ( Tandem wheel)
- 34 lbs/in²
The oil quantity of each case is as follows: Triple case - 3/ l; Conveyor belt case - 7/ l;
- 32 lbs/in²

6 -MOUNTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
The Hércules 10000/Stainless leaves the factory assembled, with the exception of the
wheel/tire assemblies, the goose-neck and the optional items needed to work with granular or
powdered products.
It is important to note in this manual that certain components need special adjustments, be it
in the application of powdered or granular products.
6.1 - Hub/wheel axle mounting
The wheel/tire assemblies come factory ready, thus the only requirement is to align the
mounting holes with the hub screws and to securely tighten them.
In case a height extender is being used (item 6.2.2), it will be necessary to dismount the
HUB/ SH AF T fr om th e WHE EL AXLE
EXTENDER. After re-mounting the hub/shaft, be
sure to mount with the cut side downward
(detailed on Figure 06). Next, tighten the axle
extender screws to the height extenders and the
hub/shaft to the height extender. Finally, tighten
the HUB screws to the WHEELS.
ATTENTION! Securely tighten all wheels
nuts and bolts before starting a job, and re-
tighten after the first work hour.
6.2 - Optional wheel/axle adjustments-
The Hércules 10000/Stainless facilitates the adjustments for the job, with different width
dimensions and 3 height adjustments.
6.2.1 - Wheel/axle width adjustments:
To adjust the wheel axle, place the axle extentions to the desired length and mount the
clamps on the axle, securely tighten the bolts.
There are two options available to adjust the axle width:
1st Option: allows for a wheel base adjustment width between 2,100 to 2,700mm. In its
maximum extended width, do not exceed 5,000 kg of product (figure 07). This still allows for the
hook-up of the height extender kit, as shown on figure 09 of page 14.
