BEFORE OPERATING
DANGER
Pressurized Cap Can Cause Serious Injury
If Improperly Opened.
Never open oil cap without releasing
pressure valve stem.
Keep face and upper body away from cap
while opening.
CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. The hydraulic system is designed to operate on
10W30 SF-CC oil. The tank contains 2 gallons of
oil. There should be 4" of oil in the tank when full.
2. Pressurize the hydraulic tank with air (20 to 40
PSI). Always maintain air pressure in the tank to
minimize slipping of the conveyor belt when using
heavy or wet sand.
3. Visually inspect the hydraulic system for leaks,
loose fasteners, missing parts, improperly routed
lines. Make all repairs before operating.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
1. Check tire pressure before each use. Because
the topdresser is ground driven always maintain
tire pressure at 20 PSI.
ATTACH TOPDRESSER TO TOWING
VEHICLE
1. Attach the topdresser to the towing vehicle.
Use the pin on the towing vehicle to secure.
2. Connect the long half of the wiring harness to
short half at the end of the tongue.
3. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on
the towing vehicle battery. The white wire
connects to the negative terminal.
4. Gather and consolidate all loose wires. Tape
together with existing wires on the towing vehicle.
Make sure there are no loose or dangling wires to
interfere with the operation of the unit.
5. Pull the unitforwardat aslow speed and flip the
electrical switch to the "ON" position. If brush and
conveyor belt rotate flip switch off. If they do not
rotate,checkthetroubleshootingpage(pg.16)for
details. After checking, turn the switch off.
CONTROLS
ELECTRIC SWITCH
The electric switch has 2 positions; ON, OFF.

CONTROLS
DANGER
Pressurized Cap Can Cause Serious Injury
If Improperly Opened.
NEVER open oil cap without releasing
pressure valve stem.
Keep face and upper body away from cap
while opening.
PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge is a pressure gauge that reads the air
pressure in the tank. The recommended air
pressure is between 20 - 40 PSI.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
NEVER carry passengers on the machine or
towing vehicle, and keep everyone away from
the areas of operation.
To avoid loss of control, NEVER, tow the unit
faster than 12 MPH.
Keep hands and feet out of hopper when unit
is operating or engine is running on towing
vehicle.
1. Fill the hopper with sand. The maximum
amount of sand that can be put into the hopper is
2500 pounds. The weight of the topdresser filled
with sand is approximately 3500 pounds. The
towing vehicle should have adequate brakes to
handle this weight. Check the specifications in the
towing vehicle’s operator manual pertaining to
towing weight.
IMPORTANT: NEVER transport at a speed
faster 12 MPH because the hydraulic motors
will be damaged.
NEVER top dress at a speed faster than 8
MPH.
2. Open the gate arm to the desired rate. Tighten
the black knob to lock into position.
3. Slowly pull the topdresser forward and flip the
electrical switch to the "ON" position. The unit is
now topdressing.
4. Flip electric switch to OFF to stop topdressing
and before transporting.
SAND APPLICATION RATE
The rate of sand being applied depends on the
weight of the sand. Sand varies in moisture and
coarseness which effects the weight. These
factors must be taken into consideration when
determining the amount of sand required for the
application. Test a small area to determine the
correct amount.
IMPORTANT: The maximum amount of sand
that can be put into the hopper is 2500
pounds.
