IV Operator’s Manual - Nitro
Principals of Operation
The Nitro Manure Spreader is designed to be hitched behind a tractor. The Manure Spreader consists of a poly
board oor trailer with an apron chain drag system, that pulls material to the rear of the trailer, through a set of
vertical, spinning beaters and is then spread in an even pattern on the eld. The rear beaters are connected
to the tractor’s PTO via gearboxes and PTO drivelines. The variable speed apron chain is operated from the
tractor cab, and controls the speed of materials being fed through the beaters.
The apron chain and rear lift gate are operated using the tractor’s hydraulic power outputs. The rear lift gate
prevents material from jamming the beaters while loading, as well as preventing material from falling onto a
roadway during transport.
We recommend that you carefully read this entire manual before operating the Manure Spreader. Please do
not assume you know how to operate and maintain your machine before reading this manual carefully. Keep
this manual available for reference.
Call your authorized dealer if you need any assistance or more information.
Intended Use
The Nitro manure spreader is well suited to apply most forms of manure to elds as a fertilizing method. It is
less commonly used to spread compost, lime, wood ash and seaweed fertilizer. The removal of the rear vertical
beaters also allows the Nitro spreader to be used as a pit trailer for forage materials. An optional two stage
beater kit is recommended for chicken litter and other similar materials.

Highlighted row indicates cyclic high load variations. 1) When tire equip vehicles subject to haulage cyclic high load variations excluding
transport applications on long distances, i.e. vehicles used on round trips (e.g. from eld to farm) where on one way the vehicle is
empty and on the other way the gross vehicle mass exceeds two times the mass of empty vehicle (last two rows in the table). 2) When
tted on tractor steering wheels load capacities are 80% of free rolling and ination pressure 20% higher. 3) For 10km/h and stationary
use ination pressure raised 20% and 25%. 4) Load for intermediate speed should be taken as an average between two close speeds.
5) Load at lower speed than 10km/h may be similar to the load for 10km/h.

Highlighted row indicates cyclic high load variations. 1) When tire equip vehicles subject to haulage cyclic high load variations excluding
transport applications on long distances, i.e. vehicles used on round trips (e.g. from eld to farm) where on one way the vehicle is
empty and on the other way the gross vehicle mass exceeds two times the mass of empty vehicle (last two rows in the table). 2) When
tted on tractor steering wheels load capacities are 80% of free rolling and ination pressure 20% higher. 3) For 10km/h and stationary
use ination pressure raised 20% and 25%. 4) Load for intermediate speed should be taken as an average between two close speeds.
5) Load at lower speed than 10km/h may be similar to the load for 10km/h.

DANGER: The upright beaters on the Nitro can maim or kill. Always check for bystanders before engaging the
PTO.
Tire Safety
DANGER: Failure to follow proper mounting procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce
an explosion which may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job.
• Have a qualied tire dealer or repair service perform required tire maintenance.
• When replacing worn tires, make sure they meet the original tire specications.
NOTE: Proper tire pressure and maximum load details can be found in Tire Load Index Charts, pg.1-5 to 1-9 .
Hydraulic Safety
1. Make sure that all components in the hydraulic system are kept in good condition and are clean.
2. Before applying pressure to the system, make sure that all components are tight, and that lines, hoses and
couplings are not damaged.
3. Do not attempt any makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, ttings, or hoses by using tapes, clamps or
cements. The hydraulic system operates under extremely high pressure. Such repairs will fail suddenly and
create a hazardous and unsafe condition.

Nitro - Section 2 - Safety 2-4
4. Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of
wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak.
5. If injured by a concentrated high pressure stream of hydraulic uid, seek medical attention immediately.
Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic uid piercing the skin surface.
6. Relieve pressure on the hydraulic system before maintaining or working on the system.
Maintenance Safety
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation for trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
• Keep service area clean and dry.
• Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for the job at hand.
