On safety decals, this symbol and the
signal words Danger, Warning, Caution
and Notice draw your attention to
important instructions regarding safety.
They indicate potential hazards and levels of intensity.
RED - DANGER indicates an
imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
ORANGE - WARNING
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
YELLOW - CAUTION
indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
in minor or moderate injury.
BLUE - NOTICE alerts you to
practices unrelated to personal
injury, such as messages related to property damage.
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious injury or death to
you or your family, it is essential that safety decals
are clearly visible, in good condition, and applied to
the appropriate equipment.
FOLLOW MANUAL & SAFETY DECAL MESSAGES
Carefully read this manual and
all safety decals on your
equipment. Safety decals must
be kept in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged
safety decals by contacting Sukup
Manufacturing Co. via mail at PO
Box 677, Sheffield, Iowa USA, 50475; by phone at
641-892-4222; or by e-mail at inf[email protected]om.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to know
what specific requirements, precautions, and work
hazards exist. It is also the responsibility of the
owner/operator to inform anyone operating or
working in the area of this equipment of hazards and
safety precautions that need to be taken to avoid
personal injury or death. Always keep children away
from bins and vehicles with flowing grain.
Make no unauthorized modifications to machine.
Modifications may endanger function and/or safety of
unit. Keep unit in good working condition. Keep shields
in place. Replace worn or missing shields free of
charge by contacting Sukup Manufacturing Co.
GRAIN BIN SAFETY
Owners/operators are responsible for developing
site-specific confined space entry procedures.
OSHA’s confined space entry procedures (29CFR
1910.146) can be found at www.osha.gov.
If you must enter bin for repair or maintenance:
•Use a safety harness, safety line and respirator
•Station another person outside of bin
•Avoid the center of the bin
•Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
•Keep clear of all augers and moving parts
DANGER: Never enter bin unless all power is
locked out and another person is present.
Rotating augers
can kill or
dismember!
NEVER enter bin when augers are running!
When bin is nearly empty, sweep auger will travelat an
increasinglyfast speed. Keep awayfrom sweepand
sump augers to avoid entanglement.
Failure to follow precautions above will result in death
or serious injury.
DANGER: Flowing grain
may trap and suffocate. If
you enter a bin of flowing grain
you can be completely submerged
in grain in about 8 seconds.
Failure to heed this warning will result in death or
serious injury.
Read manual before installing or using product. Failure to follow instructions and safety precautions in
manual can result in death or serious injury. Keep manual in a safe location for future reference.

WARNING: Metal is slippery when wet. To
avoid falls, never carry items if climbing on
bin. Maintain secure hand and foothold if climbing on
bin. Failure to do so could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION: Metal edges are sharp. To avoid
injury, wear protective clothing and handle
equipment and parts with care.
Failure to dosomayresult in minor or moderate injury.

ASSEMBLY
Read all instructions carefully before beginning. Spredway model number is printed on Spredway
shipping carton. Standard Spredways are marked "Spredway." High Capacity Spredways are marked
“High Capacity.” Assemble Spredway according to drawings on this page and following instructions.
1. Bolt motor to motor mount using four 5/16 x 1" bolts, nuts and lock washers. Align motor pulley to flat
pulley by sliding on motor shaft. NOTE: Align belt when Spredway is in operating position.
2. Place belt on pulleys. Bend belt hook around belt as shown.
CAUTION: Belt should not scrape on hook or it may cut belt.
3. Center flow holes in spreading pans should be about 1/3
open for bins less than 24' in diameter. For larger bins,
holes should be 1/2 open. Be sure bolt on cover is tight
after adjustment.
4. To mount pan to spreader, lower pitch adjusting rod by
loosening locking handle and pre-spread disc inside of cone.
Lower adjusting rod so its end is about 3" below main bearing
shaft. See Fig. 2. One end of stationary pitch control arm
comes mounted to pan. Mount other end of control arm to
main bearing shaft. Secure with hairpin clips. Repeat this step
for second pan.
5. Remove hinge pin from
adjusting rod. Place
spreading pans and pitch
adjusting rod together and
replace hinge pin. Secure
hinge pin with hairpin clip.
Hairpin clips should be
snapped on all the way. See
Fig. 2. See operating
instructions for setting angle
of pans.
6. Place pre-spread ring inside
cone, allowing slots in ring to
slip over Spredway arms.
Secure ring by installing
hairpin clips - found in parts
sack - through holes
provided in Spredway arms.
7. After Spredway has been
assembled it is ready to be
installed in bin. Following
figures show different ways
to mount Spredway.
Determine which applies and
follow instructions for that
method. Spredway is
shipped with a set of
standard rigid mount
brackets.

Adjusting
spreading pan pitch
OPERATION
Proper pitch of spreading pans is the key to
spreading grain evenly in bin. Pitch may easily
be adjusted from top of spreader by rotating pre-
spread disc. See Fig. 7.
NOTE: Spredway adjustment wrenches, Kit
G01671, are available from Sukup
Manufacturing Co.
Maximum capacity for Standard Spredway is
3,000 bushels per hour and for High Capacity is
5,000 bph and for Super High capacity is 7,000
bph.
TO ADJUST SPREADING PATTERN:
Loosen locking handle and rotate pre-spread
disc to change pitch of spreading pans. Begin
with spreading pans in level position. Rotate pre-
spread disc clockwise to tilt pans downward.
NOTE: Change in pitch may not be noticeable
unless weight is applied to pans. Falling grain
will keep pans in correct position during
operation. Lock handle against disc.
IMPORTANT: Optimum pitch of spreading pans
depends on diameter of bin and amount of grain
flowing through spreader. Adjust so bulk of grain
hits bin wall about one ring down from eave. To
obtain best results, pitch of spreading pans may
require adjustment after initial operation.
Center flow holes (see Fig. 2) control amount of
grain that falls in center of bin. If grain is too high
in center, rotate cover to make opening smaller.
If grain is too low in center, rotate cover to make
opening larger.
Pre-spread ring is designed to allow for multiple
capacity rates. Knockouts on ring can be easily
removed to increase rates. Proper settings are
essential for peak performance. See Fig. 7 and
use table below as a guide. Ring sizes and flow
rates generally correspond to fill auger/spout
diameters.
RING SIZE RATE OF FLOW
6" 1,500 bu/hr
8" 2,600 bu/hr
10" 4,000 bu/hr
IMPORTANT: Grain flow must be centered over
pre-spread disc for even spreading.
IMPORTANT: When looking from top down,
make sure spreader is turning counterclockwise.
WARNING: Disconnect power before adjusting Spredway after installation. Contact with
rotating pans could cause death or serious injury.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION
1. Does not run. Fuses blown. Replace fuses.
Belt off. Replace belt.
2. Belt comes off flat pulley. Motor pulley not aligned w/flat pulley. Align pulley.
Motor mount bent. Replace motor mount.
Pitch rod is bent. Replace bent parts.
Belt not tight. Replace spring & check belt size.
3. Spreading unevenly. Spreader not adjusted properly. Adjust spreading pans.
Spredway not level. Level unit.
Incoming grain spout not centered over pre-spread disc.
Move & secure grain spout over center
of pre-spread disc or use a pre-spread
funnel.
4. Vibration Spredway improperly or insecurely
mounted. Ensure proper brackets are used. Tighten bolts.
