LOWLANDER MK4 MANURE SPREADER – INSTRUCTION & SPARES MANUAL
1.9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL BEATERS
General use
The horizontal beater with spinner discs is designed primarily for wider spread patterns
and lower application rates for product such as chicken and turkey manure, however
long straw based materials can be spread effectively. It must be expected that
application rates maybe slower than a vertical auger spreader.
Adjustments for spread patterns
The position of the lower section of rear canopy and the angle of the blades on the discs
will affect the spread pattern and width.
Select a hole position that places the rubber strip over the middle of the discs for a
lighter application rates and wider widths. Adjust the hole position to move the rubber
strip rearwards for higher application rates e.g. for straw based materials. Excessive
rearward adjustment will cause the material to miss the discs and hit the ground
without being spread.
Each spinning disc is supplied with 2 blades on and the others loose; it has been proven
that many materials are spread more effectively with just 2 blades per disc.
1 To increase the width of the spread pattern adjust the angle of blades forward
on the disc.
2 If the spread pattern is light immediately behind the machine adjust the angle of
the blades back.
3 With 4 blades fitted it is possible to achieve an even spread by adjusting the
blades, as opposing pairs. i.e. Blade 1 and 3 in position 3 and blade 2 and 4 in
position 1.
4 When adjusting angle use the 2nd set of holes on the blade to keep the tip of the
blade on the edge of the disc
