OPERATION
CAUTION
DO NOT USE JACK EXCEPT WHEN SPREADER IS
EMPTY. JACK WILL NOT SUPPORT ADDED
WEIGHT FROM LOAD. UNBALANCED WEIGHT
MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED TIP UP OF THE
SPREADER.
DANGER
NEVER ENTER THE SPREADER BOX FOR ANY REA-
SON WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING PTO SHAFT
FROM TRACTOR. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS IN THE
BOX. ROTATING BEATER CAN DISMEMBER OR KILL.
LOADING
If you have an optional hydraulic end gate or fine
spread pan be sure they are closed, figure 4. When
the spreader is parked for loading, shift the tractor to
neutral or park and set the brakes. The moisture con-
tent of the manure will determine how full the spreader
can be loaded so that no manure spills out.
You will probably be able to load solid manure at least
level with the top of the box while semi liquid and liquid
slurries will have to be less than full in the spreader box.
NOTE:
It is unlawful to allow slurry to splash or leak
onto public roads.
UNLOADING
WARNING
MAKE CERTAIN EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF EQUIP-
MENT BEFORE APPLYING POWER. FAILURE TO
HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL IN-
JURY OR DEATH.
DANGER
KEEP AWAY AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF RO-
TATING BEATERS AT REAR OF SPREADER. SERI-
OUS INJURY OR AMPUTATION COULD RESULT.
The rear beater has been designed and tested to provide
the best spread pattern for most liquids and semi solid
manure. However, the pattern will vary for each specific
condition. The factors that contribute most to differing
patterns will be moisture content and the amount and
length of bedding material. For most typical conditions,
the spread pattern should be uniform and about the width
of the spreader. Plan your spreading patterns so you do
not have to travel over previously spread manure which
will be slippery, resulting in poor traction. Traction on wet
grass is also poor. When the resulting pattern may re-
quire that you overlap during spreading, use precautions
on slopes and hills where you will experience a loss of
traction by traveling over ground with previously spread
manure.
Perform the following operations when you are ready
to begin spreading application on the field, depending
on the options your spreader is equipped with.
