PRE-OPERATION

WARNING: BEFORE OPERATING, READ THIS OWNERS MANUAL COMPLETELY. PAY PARTICU- LAR ATTENTION TO THE “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” AND “SAFETY FIRST” PAGES. READ ALL SAFETY MESSAGES HIGHLIGHTED BY “SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS” THROUGHOUT THE MANUAL.

This spreader is to be operated with 540 RPM PTO only, unless the spreader is 1000 RPM equipped. The hitch of the spreader is designed for a standard tractor drawbar. Adjust the drawbar at 13 to 17 inches above the ground. Extend or shorten the drawbar so horizontal distance from end of tractor PTO shaft to center of the hitch pin hole is 14 inches. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is located directly below the PTO drive line. See figure 1 for location of standard measurements.

FIGURE 1. DRAWBAR & PTO RELATIONSHIP

An improperly located hitch point may cause damage to the universal joints of the PTO drive shaft. Conforming to the standard 14" drawbar & PTO relationship will ensure that the PTO drive shaft will not become over-extended.

DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT PTO GUARD ON SPREADER AND ON TRACTOR. MAIN- TAIN PTO DRIVE SHAFT GUARD TUBES IN OPER- ATING CONDITION. REPLACE THEM IF DAMAGED AND NOT TURNING FREELY. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: INSPECT REGULARLY THAT ALL CONNECTIONS AND BOLTS ARE TIGHT AND SE- CURE BEFORE OPERATING. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened. Securely retighten af- ter a few hours of operation, as bolts can loosen up on new machinery. Check wheel lug nuts upon delivery and periodically thereafter. Lug nuts should be tight- ened and the tires inflated to the recommended pres- sure. Refer to the wheel torque and tire inflation chart on page 55

Inspect all adjustments on the spreader to be sure they are proper and to provide maximum performance. Lubricate the spreader completely if it is required and check the level of liquid gear grease in all three gear- boxes.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL SHIELDS, GUARDS AND COVERS IN- STALLED. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SE- RIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Fasten the spreader hitch to the tractor drawbar with a hitch pin that cannot bounce out. Use 1" diameter hitch pin to pull spreader.

Remove the weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from square mount tube and move to the transport storage tube on the left front side of the frame channel. Store in a hori- zontal position.

Before operation and after hitching the tractor to the spreader, connect the PTO drive shaft to the tractor. Slide spring loaded locking collar on PTO yoke rearward, and slide yoke onto the tractor PTO shaft. Release spring loaded collar. Be sure pins fall into groove of trac- tor PTO shaft and collar snaps forward into locking posi- tion.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A STEEL HAMMER TO AID IN JOINING PTO PARTS.

Route hydraulic hoses through the hose support rod which is mounted to the hitch frame, figure 2 . Connect the hydraulic hoses for the flow control rear gate to the tractor’s double acting valve hydraulic system. Move the tractor hydraulic controls to observe proper flow gate operation. If the controls operate the gate in op- posite directions to what you expect, reverse the hy- draulic hose connections at the tractor.

WARNING: HYDRAULIC FLUID ESCAPING UNDER PRESSURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT FORCE TO PENETRATE SKIN. KEEP ALL HOSES AND CONNECTIONS IN GOOD SERVICEABLE CONDITION. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Before loading spreader, slowly engage the tractor PTO and operate machine at idle speed for several minutes to insure the spreader is lubricated and oper- ating properly.
