Mounting Spreader to Tractor
The spreader should be attached to tractor via hitch eye. The drawbar shoe should be place in
closed position while spreader is mounted to tractor .To mount spreader to tractor correctly:
1. Ensure both the tractor pick-up hitch and the spreader towing eye is serviceable and
undamaged. Ensure that the spreader handbrake is fully applied.
2. When reversing the tractor to connect the hitch to the towing eye ensure the hitch is
lowered sufficiently to go under the towing eye.
3. Raise the pickup hitch ensuring it is secure against its top retaining position. This
prevents the towing eye disengaging.
4. STOP the tractor’s engine and connect the large diameter return hose to the return line
breakaway coupling on your tractor.
5. Connect the small diameter pressure hose to the pressure line breakaway coupling on
your tractor.
6. Connect and secure the multi-pin electrical plug to the tractor’s lighting socket. After
connecting the electrical circuit, ensure the lights are clean and operating properly.
