PRE-OPERATION
GENERAL
Read the entire Owners Manual before attempting to
operate this manure spreader. Before attempting any
maintenance or repairs; always be sure all rotating
parts have stopped and that the tractor is shut off, dis-
connect the PTO, relieve all hydraulic pressure and
disconnect hydraulic hoses.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE SPREADER WITH ANY GUARDS
OR SHIELDS REMOVED. FAILURE TO HEED MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
.1 Completely lubricate the unit as described in the
LUBRICATION Section.
.2 Check and tighten the wheel lug nuts if required.
.3 Check and maintain the tire pressure according to
the manufacturer’s recommendation.
.4 Check the entire unit for loose bolts, damaged or
loose hydraulic fittings and hoses or other dam-
aged parts.
.5 The tractor half of the PTO drive shaft assembly
must
be locked securely to the tractor output shaft.
TRACTOR HITCH AND PTO
REQUIREMENTS
The spreader is designed to be operated by a 1000
RPM PTO tractor output.
The PTO drive shaft assembly is designed to operate
with tractors conforming to the industry standard
shown on figure 1 for 1000 RPM PTO output.
ADMA Recommendations:
A tractor drawbar equipped with a clevis hitch (ham-
mer-strap) can cause interference with the PTO
driveline IID (implement input driveline). This interfer-
ence can cause serious damage to the IID or the IID
telescoping members. The clevis hitch on the tractor
must be removed.
If the implement (figure 2, top view) is attached to a
tractor with a clevis hitch (hammer-strap) style
drawbar, the hammer-strap must be removed to pre-
vent damage to the IID guarding or the IID telescoping
members.
If the implement (figure 2, lower view) is attached to a
tractor with an offset in the drawbar, be certain it is in
the down position to prevent damage to the IID guard-
ing or the IID telescoping members.
