1.8 INSTALLATION AND GENERAL USE OF DETACHABLE SPINNER DECK
1.8.1 GENERAL USE
The detachable spinner deck is designed purely for wider spread patterns and low application
rates of between 1 and 3 tonnes per acre (2 ½ to 7 ½ tonnes per hectare). It must NEVER be used
to spread long straw-based materials or heavy applications beyond 5 tonnes per acre.
1.8.2 INSTALLATION
When fitting or removing the spinner deck assembly great care must be taken not to endanger an
assistant in any way, especially when raising or lowering the unit. Persons must not be put at risk.
Before making any adjustments, fitting or removing attachments, the tractor that the spreader is
attached to must be switched off and the key removed.
FITTING THE SPINNER DECK – See Section 8.8 (DETACHABLE SPINNER DECK) for parts list.
