OPERATION

LOADING

CAUTION: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO AU- GERS, SPINNERS, AND DRIVE LINES, FOREIGN OBJECTS (STONES, CONCRETE, TIMBER, METAL OR LARGE FROZEN CHUNKS OF MANURE) SHOULD NEVER BE LOADED INTO THE SPREADER.

DANGER: NEVER ENTER THE SPREADER BOX FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT FIRST DISCON- NECTING PTO SHAFT FROM TRACTOR. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS IN THE BOX. ROTATING AUGERS CAN CRUSH AND DISMEMBER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE JACK EXCEPT WHEN SPREADER IS EMPTY. JACK WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDED WEIGHT. UNBALANCED WEIGHT MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED “TIP UP” OF SPREADER.

Before loading, especially in freezing weather, make sure the augers and spinners are free to rotate and the flow control rear gate moves freely up and down.

Check and be sure that the flow control rear gate is completely closed before loading.

When the spreader is parked for loading, shift the tractor to neutral or park and set the brakes. The moisture con- tent of the manure will determine how full the spreader can be loaded so that no manure spills out.

You will probably be able to load solid manure at least level with the top of the box while semi-liquid and liquid manure will have to be less than full in the spreader box. It is unlawful to allow manure to splash or leak onto pub- lic roads.

A liquid manure kit is available for installation around the top of the box on your spreader which will aid in the con- tainment of liquids.

UNLOADING

WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF SPREADER BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OF DEATH.

DANGER: KEEP AWAY AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF ROTATING SPINNERS AT REAR OF SPREADER. SERIOUS INJURY OR AMPUTATION COULD RESULT. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OF DEATH.

When you are ready to begin spreading application on the field, open the hydraulic flow control rear gate and slowly engage the tractor PTO clutch. This can be done while traveling forward to avoid a heavier application of liquid manure at the edge of the field than desired.

For liquid and semi-liquid manure, the application rate can be controlled by the amount the flow control rear gate is opened. The gate indicator on the front of the box will provide a ready reference for the amount of opening. For solid manure (dry, pen-packed or manure containing long straw or hay) the flow control rear gate MUST be completely open since this material is not free flowing.

VERY IMPORTANT: THIS MACHINE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A BALE GRINDER, HAY CHOPPER OR BEDDING MACHINE. LONG HAY OR STRAW MUST CONTAIN MANURE IN ORDER TO BE SPREAD. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVETRAIN AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
