Important Safety Precautions

Never exceed the spreader’s speed rating as this could lead to death or serious injury.

Never carry out adjustments or maintenance on machinery while it is in operation, as

this could lead to death or serious injury.

Never attempt to clear a blockage while the spreader is in operation as this could lead

to death or serious injury.

Never operate the machine without all safety guards in place and properly secured as

this can result in death or serious injury.

Always disconnect hydraulic connections before carrying out any of the maintenance

instructions. Failure to disconnect, the above, could lead to death or serious injury.

Do not ride on the spreader. The ladder is only provided for ease of access during

servicing or maintenance operations.

Do not overload the spreader. Exceeding the axle weight will cause irreparable

damage to the spreader.

Observe all current Health and Safety Regulations.

When carrying out maintenance tractor should be turned off and the key removed.

All persons except the operator should be kept away a minimum of 75 m from

spreading area

Never enter machine when the spreader is running

Loose fitting clothing should never be worn when while using the machine as these

could become entangled in moving parts and could result in death or serious injury.

Personal Protective equipment should be worn when handling fertiliser (check

MSDS).

General

1. Keep the machine as clean as possible

2. Check wheel nuts daily before use.

3. Check tyre pressures before use (see max inflation pressure table)

4. Grease all bearings weekly.

5. Always check the oil filter indicator on the filter (if fitted,) before use.

6. Always change tractor oil and filter in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

All maintenance work must be carried out when the machine is turned off and the key

removed.

Failure to comply with the instructions given in this manual may lead to the following

dangers:

-Danger of entrapment due moving conveyer type floor

-Danger of entanglement with spinners

-Danger of getting entangled in the shaft transmission parts if the guards are

removed;

Danger of falls when climbing ladder

Users should become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual before using,

servicing and mounting the spreader to the tractor. Never wear loose clothing when operating

the machinery. Always wear approved garments complying with accident prevention

provisions such as non-slip shoes, hearing and eye protection. Wear a jacket with reflecting

stickers if the spreader is used near public roads.

Work Area

The operator must remain seated while working the machine. Always ensure the tractor has

been turned off and the parking brake applied before any maintenance or changes are carried

out to the spreader.

Caution

The driven floor should never be operated with the doors in closed position this could cause

irreparable damage. On some fertilisers it should not be operated with less than 20 mm of gap

as packing will occur and the belt will jam. When spreading Steel Works Slag, always

operate the machine in the low gear with the door open as wide as possible.

Setting Spinner Speeds and Rear Deflectors

Spinner Speed is the most important factor in achieving an accurate spread pattern. The

spinner speed is adjusted by altering the control on the valve at the front of the machine

(shown in Figure 1 below). Guideline spinner speeds for various different materials are given

in Table 1 : Recommended Spinner Speeds For Spreading on page 38.

Figure 2: Spinner Flow Control Valve

When setting spinner speeds ensure the engine of the tractor is running at the same R.P.M. as

it will normally be operating in the field and make sure that the oil is warmed up to its normal

operating temperature. Always monitor the spinner speed by watching the tachometer when

operating the spreader as an error of 50 R.P.M. on spinner speed will result in a deterioration

of the spread pattern. If the spinner speed is too high there will be too much material behind

the spreader. If the spinner speed is too slow there will be too little material behind the

spreader.

It is sometimes necessary to alter the angle of the rear deflectors to lighten the spread behind

the machine and throw the material more into the centre of the pattern. This is shown in the

table on the following page along with the spinner speeds for sample materials and is

expressed in the following manner.

WARNING: NEVER ADJUST THE DEFLECTORS WHILE THE

SPINNERS ROTATING.

Setting the Application Rate

The application rate of material is controlled by the back door settings and gear selection.

Refer to the rate charts in Appendix 1 - Setting your Spreading Rate. At the back of this

manual for guideline settings of the door opening in millimetres and which gear should be

selected. Once you have selected your rate from the charts, remove the retaining pins in the

door handles and adjust the door so that the top of the door indicator lines up with your

selected figure on the chart. Replace the retaining pins and check that both doors are level

with each other. The rate is now set. With the huge variation of prills and compounds it is

impossible to be 100% accurate without checking the batch of material you are spreading.

GEAR SETTINGS

Med..High..Low gear denoted on the table refers to the gear box selector on the inside of the

jockey wheel drive arm. Gear is selection is indicated on the decal on the gear box. Neutral is

between each gear. Always remember to replace the retaining pin after changing gear. Details

of changing gear are explained on page 8.

Use will dictate accurate settings.

To Start Spreading

Single Spool Tractors... Start by opening the tractor spool valve.

Twin Spool Tractors... Start the spinners by opening the tractor spool valve. Engage

the gearbox by lowering the gearbox ram until the gearbox jockey wheel is in full contact

with the trailer wheel. Do not run at high speed while engaging wheel.

Both... Ensure engine RPM is within the range as when the spinner speed was set and check

the spinner speed on the tachometer. Drive off maintaining engine RPM and using the tractor

gearbox to keep the engine from labouring. This will ensure the hydraulic flow will be

sufficient to maintain constant spinner speed.

To Stop Spreading

Single Spool Tractors... To raise jockey wheel clear of main wheel return the hydraulic

selector for the spinner to off through neutral to reverse flow until wheel is lifted and then

return to neutral.

Twin Spool Tractors... Lift the gearbox clear of the main trailer wheel by operating the

gearbox ram spool valve on the tractor, only stop spinners if required. Stop spinners by

operating the spinner spool valve on the tractor when required.

Adjustments

Vane Settings

When starting testing, have the rear cross bar pivoted up into the neutral position. If after

carrying out a test there is still an unacceptable amount of material behind the spreader, pivot

the rear cross bar to the active position with the centre deflectors set at centre. Repeat test.

Gear Selection Details

Gear Change:

To change gear, remove “R” Clip from gear selector. Complete gear change by moving gear

selector to gear required. (See Figure 3 below)

When selecting gear it is necessary to rotate the Jockey wheel manually in order to select

required gear.

After selecting required gear, reinsert “R” Clip as shown above.
