Nitro 375RS - Operator’s Manual VI
Principals of Operation
The Nitro 375 RS Manure Spreader is designed to be hitched behind a tractor with a minimum of 90
HP. 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 man-
ual carefully. Keep this manual available for reference.
Call your authorized dealer if you need any assistance or more information.

Nitro 375RS - Section 1 - Safety 1-2
Safety Guidelines
Safety of the operator is one of our main concerns, however we do hear of some accidents that could
have been avoided if some precautions had been taken. To avoid personal injury study the following
precautions and insist those working with you or for you, follow them.
In most cases the pictures will have the shielding in place, in some they may be removed, only to
show a view behind the shield. Keep all the shields, safety doors in place. If they become faulty and
fail to work replace them. They are for your safety, do not operate the equipment with them removed.
Replace any decals that may be missing or that are not readable. Location of the decals is indicated
in this manual.
Do not operate this machine while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment should not be operated by children, or with those unfamiliar with the operation of the
machine. Do not allow persons to operate this machine until they have read this manual and/or were
instructed by a qualied person.
Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your equipment. Observe
all safety signs and practice the instructions on them.
If the bale seems to be larger then the hoop do not try to force the material through as the lm spools
may touch the bale and break the plastic. If is stalls halfway through you can’t back up, you will have
to pull the bale apart by hand.
Lighting & Marking
This machine is equipped with lights and reectors as required by the most stringent government and
ASAE specications. They should work with the tractor 7-pin connector.
