BEATER DRIVE
Maintain proper tension on the beater and apron
drive chains. There should be 1/4’’ deflection at the
bottom center of each chain. Failure to maintain
proper tension will result in undue stress to beater
stub shaft and bearings.
SHEAR BOLT
The beater and apron drive are protected by one
shear bolt. Two spare shear bolts are provided.
Shearing of the bolt is normally due to foreign
objects in the manure, or starting the spreader PTO
too quickly with high tractor RPM’s. Always use
H&S shear bolts, part number D31, when replacing
shear bolts.

ADJUSTING WHEEL HUBS
To adjust the wheel hubs, tighten the castellated
nut on the spindle to the point where there is no
end-play and a slight drag on the bearings, and
replace the cotter key with a new one of the correct
size.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED
ADJUSTMENTS WILL VOID WARRANTY.
BEATER
As the beater paddles are welded to the beater tube, replacement of these paddles should be performed by
authorized service personnel who are competent welders. When replacing paddles, the sharp edge of the
teeth must lead in the direction of beater travel. On the right half of the beater the teeth must point to the
right side of the spreader. On the left half of the beater the teeth must point to the left side of the spreader.
When transporting on the highway, regularly clean the reflective tape at the rear of the spreader. There is a
holder provided for your SMV sign.
