SAFETY WARNINGS

TAKE NOTE! THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

FOUND THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL IS USED TO

CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO INSTRUCTIONS

INVOLVING YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THAT

OF OTHERS, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE

INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR

DEATH.

In this manual and on the safety signs placed on your spreader, the words “ DANGER,”

WARNING,” “CAUTION,” and “IMPORTANT” are used to indicate the following:

DANGER! Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided WILL

result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the

most extreme situations and typically for machine components that, for

functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING! Indicates a potentially dangerous situation that, if not avoided, COULD

result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed

when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe

practices.

CAUTION! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result

in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to guard against unsafe

practices.

IMPORTANT! Is used for informational purposes in areas that may involve damage or

deterioration of equipment and would generally not involve personal

injury.

The need for personal safety cannot be stressed enough. At Barron & Brothers, Int’l. we

strongly urge you to make safety your top priority when operating any equipment. We firmly

advise that anyone allowed to operate our equipment must be thoroughly trained and tested to

prove that they understand the fundamentals for safe operation.

The following guidelines are intended to cover general usage and to assist you in avoiding

accidents. There will be times when you will run into situations that are not covered in this

section. At those times the best standard to use is common sense. If, at any time, you have a

question concerning these guidelines, please call your authorized dealer or our factory at

(800) 282-3570.

SAFETY

Please read and understand this manual before operation.

AVOID ACCIDENTS

Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on the highway, are

caused by the failure of an individual to follow simple and fundamental safety rules and

precautions. For this reason, most accidents can be prevented by recognizing the real cause and

doing something about it before the accident occurs.

Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of equipment, there are

many conditions that cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering with

reasonable accessibility and efficient operation.

A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN ACCIDENT. THE

COMPLETE OBSERVANCE OF ONE SIMPLE RULE WOULD PREVENT THOUSANDS

OF SERIOUS INJURIES EACH YEAR. THAT RULE IS:

NEVER CLEAN, OIL, OR ADJUST A MACHINE WHILE IT IS UNDER POWER.

--National Safety Council

CAUTION! If the spreader is used to transport chemicals, check with your chemical

supplier regarding the DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations

SAFETY DECALS

DECAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all times.

2. Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible.

3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.

4. Safety Decals are available from your local dealer’s Parts Department or our factory.

SAFETY

FT TRUCK MT 7

HAZARDS TO AVOID:

1. Refrain from wearing loose fitting clothing on or around this piece of machinery. There are

many places that loose clothing may become wrapped or pulled into devices.

2. Be aware of any moving parts on this machinery. Make sure that any person or persons on

or around this piece of machinery are aware of the dangers as well. There are many places

where injury may occur. Learn your unit and the dangers of it. Always use caution in the

operation of this piece of machinery.

3. Be sure that any individuals operating this equipment are trained and are aware of the

dangers of this equipment.

4. Check for rocks, sticks, or anything of solid mass that may cause bodily harm to you or

damage your unit.

5. Never work on or repair this piece of equipment while it is running. The P.T.O. and/or any

other power source must be completely disengaged while working on this unit.

6. Those working around this unit should remain at least 100 feet from it while it is in

operation. The fans are able to propel objects at a high speed up to this distance.

7. Use extreme caution while operating the driven portion of this unit. Its size may limit your

field of vision.

8. Never allow a leak of hydraulic fluid to persist. Hydraulic fluid is kept under very high

pressure, and may cause serious injury if it hits the facial area, especially the eyes.

system.

SAFETY

FT TRUCK MT 8

INITIAL STARTUP

Check over entire unit to be sure all guards and fasteners are in place and fasteners are properly

tightened. NOTE: Stand clear of moving machinery. Do not load spreader with material.

1. Check to be sure that no loose parts or other material are in the hopper, on conveyor, or

on spinner. Be sure to remove any loose pieces and ensure all guards are in place.

2. Check to make certain that no one is within 50 feet of the spinners. Engage PTO, which

in turn engages the spinners.

3. Engine RPM should be increased to same as when running. Set spinners to desired speed.

4. Open feed gate to appropriate spread rate (reference chart on side of hopper).

5. Engage conveyor drive system.

6. Begin road testing spreader.

DO NOT check leaks with hands while system is operating, as high-pressure oil

leaks can be dangerous! DO NOT check for leaks adjacent to moving parts while

system is operating, as there may be danger of entanglement.

If your unit has a self-contained hydraulic system, check the oil reservoir and refill as

required. IMPORTANT! Change the hydraulic oil filter after the first week or 50

hours of operation.

ROAD TEST

Prior to first use of the machine, prior to each spreading season, and following any major repair

or overhaul, the machine should be road tested to verify that all systems and components are

functioning properly. Road testing may be done on any suitable course that will allow the

spreader to be driven at similar speeds to be used during spreading. The following procedure is

offered as a guide.

CAUTION! To observe conveyor and spinner speeds while vehicle is in

motion, proper safety precautions should be taken. These may include use of suitable

mirrors clamped to permit observation by a safely seated observer, following the

spreader in another vehicle at a safe distance or other suitable means. DO NOT stand

in the body or on any part of the spreader, as there is danger of falling off vehicle or into moving

machinery. Use great care while performing this test.

BASICS

FT TRUCK MT 9

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

To operate the spreader, the following sequence should be observed:

1. Be sure the unit has been serviced and is in good operating condition.

2. Disengage the PTO.

3. Fill the body with material to be spread.

4. Drive to the location where spreading is to be done.

5. Adjust the unit’s hydraulic control valve (priority valve) to the setting required for the

material used, based on the desired spread pattern.

6. Adjust the material flow divider to provide proper delivery to spinners.

7. Set the feed gate opening to obtain the desired yield.

8. Engage the PTO

9. Drive at a speed that allows the engine to run at a proper RPM and maintain good control

for the terrain.

ADJUSTING YOUR SPREADER

IMPORTANT! Spinner assembly and material flow dividers have not been

adjusted at the factory. Before spreading material, spread

pattern tests must be conducted to properly adjust the spreader.

THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS SPREADER WILL NOT

BE LIABLE FOR MISAPPLIED MATERIAL DUE TO AN

IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SPREADER.

It is recommended that spread pattern tests be conducted prior to each spreading season, after

any spreader maintenance, and periodically during the season. Spread pattern tests must be

conducted whenever a new product is to be applied.

The spread pattern is affected by a variety of conditions including:

1. Spinner speed.

2. Point of delivery of material to the spinner dishes.

3. The condition of the fins on the spinner dishes (i.e. damaged, bent, broken, rusted, dirty,

etc.)

4. Material granule size.

5. Material flow characteristics.

6. Material weight per cubic foot.

7. Rate of delivery of material.

8. Balance between deliveries to both spinner dishes.

9. Cleanliness of the fins and the dishes themselves.

10. Level of spreader.

11. Wind.

Because most of these characteristics will change with each load of material being spread, a

certain amount of experience mixed with some testing will determine the adjustments needed to

obtain the spread width and pattern desired. Detailed information is provided in later sections on

how to read the conditions you have and how to make changes to get the spread pattern you

need.

BASICS

FT TRUCK MT 10

FERTILIZER CALIBRATION

General Factors That Affect Spread Patterns:

Fertilizer Size and Density

The particle size will also determine the maximum spread pattern width. The spread pattern can

vary anywhere from 25 ft for powder type materials such as lime or up to 60 ft for fertilizer

pellets.

Large, dense particles will be thrown further than finer materials with lower density. Even after

un-sized fertilizer has been thoroughly blended, segregation will occur during the spreading.

Size is more important than density in determining the distance a particle is thrown. For

example, granular urea is less dense than potash or phosphate materials, but it has a larger

particle. In most cases when spreading a blend, a higher percentage of urea will be found on the

outer edge of the spread pattern.

Driving at an interval to obtain a 100% overlap will minimize the effect of segregation (See

Diagram A).

Application Rate and Ground Speed

These two factors combine to produce a flow rate. Drivers should avoid situations where both

factors are high. As application rate is increased, ground speed should be lowered accordingly.

When both ground speed and application rates are high, too much material is delivered to the

spinner. When this happens the material will dribble off the spinners instead of being thrown,

causing a heavy swath directly behind the spreader.

Generally, the best spread patterns are obtained when a spreader is operated at 5-10 mph.

Spinner RPM

Spinner speed is adjustable from approximately 400 to 900 RPM. However, spinners should be

operated at approximately 550-650 rpm. As spinner speed is increased within the recommended

range, the spread width will widen. This is a function of the hydraulic spinner system, which can

be controlled by the priority valve.
