• Make sure all controls and equipment is left safe.
• Stop the engine.
• Remove the key.
Always use SAFE STOP:
• Before leaving your seat; or
• When anyone else approaches; or
• When anyone else is working on the machine.
You need to take extra precautions when safe stop is not possible.
SAFETY
1. Keep all personnel clear of machine when spreading or manoeuvring
2. Do not permit anyone to ride on machine.
3. Never enter machine to clear blockages unless the SAFE STOP PROCEDURE has been followed and P.T.O. drive
shaft disconnected at the tractor end before carrying out adjustments, inspections or service.
4. Always disconnect the P.T.O drive shaft at the tractor end before carrying out adjustments, inspections or service.
5. In use keep all guards in place, they are for your protection and ensure that the P.T.O shaft guard chains are secure.
6. P.T.O Drive Shaft – check there is a minimum overlap of 150mm of the lemon section tubes and that these tubes do
not bottom on full lock. Should the tubes need shortening cut equal amounts from each tube and the plastic guard
tubes.
7. Check tractor is large enough to control the machine in all conditions, do not overload the spreader.
8. Check hydraulic circuits functioning, especially the brakes. Hoses need to be checked periodically for excessive
cracking or damage that may compromise their functionality. Always ensure SAFE STOP PROCEDURE is in place.
9. Foreign bodies in manure – the machine can throw stones or other objects a great distance. Ensure the machine is kept
well clear of people, roads and buildings.
10. Rotor tips and channels – check for wear and damage. Replace as necessary.
11. Disengage P.T.O clutch when turning sharp corners.
12. Operation of lights must be checked periodically.
13. The driver must not exceed 20mph while towing this machine.
14. Care must be taken when traversing across any land with an incline of greater than 5 degrees, as there is a danger of
the vehicle overturning.
15. Tyre pressure must be maintained for safe use of machinery.

MAINTENANCE
• P.T.O. Shaft
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with quality grease. Clean and grease the P.T.O drive shaft before each
prolonged period of non-use. Grease the plastic guard tubes in winter to prevent freezing. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Feed out Rotor, PTO drive and Layshaft Bearings
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Check tyre pressures and wheel nuts every 8 operating hours. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Main Auger Bearings
Every 8 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’ and
disengage PTO.
• Tray Tension Bushes (under Rotor Lever)
Every 20 operating hours lubricate with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent. Note! `Safe Stop’
and disengage PTO.
• Recommended slackness in chains should be measured as illustrated, with a measurement of 6mm – 12mm.
To obtain a full life for each chain, regular tensioning is required. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
X
• lubricate with Oil every 200 hours
(a) Drive chains, and check adjustment, Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
(b) Guard hinges, stone trap pivots, tray pivots, rotor cover hinges, moving wall pivot, and door cylinder
and brake cylinder pivot points. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Annually remove hub caps from axles and fill with Morris Multi Purpose EP Grease or equivalent,
lightly oil brake lever shaft. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
• Hoses must be checked periodically for excessive cracking or damage that may compromise their
functionality. Any maintenance on the hydraulics must not be carried out unless the vehicle is isolated
appropriately.
• Operation of the lights must be checked periodically.
• When replacing the bearings in axle hubs, they must be torqued up until they start to drag, then released to
the nearest slot on the castle nut.
Note: - R.H.P. type bearings should only be greased with 1or 2 pumps of grease gun. Excessive greasing will
force out the seals.
If machine is laid up for a period of time, carry out greasing and lubrication
. i.e. pour waste oil between body and moving wall to combat corrosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Couple tractor/dual spreader on ring hitch.
* Fit P.T.O. shaft with shear coupling at machine end. Check shear bolt is 12.9 grade.
Should P.T.O shaft be too long, refer to manufacturers instruction leaflet for shortening.
2. The sliding door is operated with a double acting hydraulic cylinder and a 2-way valve is required on the tractor. The brakes
are operated simultaneously with the tractor brakes. Before operating the machine check these two services are operational.
3. Check maintenance for any loose bolts or parts before starting machine. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
4. The P.T.O. shaft is normally shipped inside the body of the machine behind the stone trap door.
5. The tray tension mechanism is in its working position when the handle is fully raised. In its lowered position the tray is
dropped and the rotor door (over the rotor) may be raised to clear blockages. Never use the machine with the handle in the
lowered position.
Loading Manure
Close sliding door fully. For yard manure, which does not easily break up, it is recommended that it be broken up with the loader
before being loaded into machine. Spreading will be consistent and fast, providing the above is complied with.
Loading Silage
Fill to only two-thirds full and level from front to back. Fully close sliding door when starting. Feed out at low r.p.m.
Spreading Manure
Open sliding door a minimum of halfway. Engage P.T.O at low tractor engine revs and immediately increase revs to 540 at the
P.T.O. Drive tractor forward at required speed and adjust sliding door position to give required spread.
Spreading Slurry
Again engage P.T.O at low tractor engine revs, increase to 540rpm and open sliding door 2" to 3 " depending on the consistency
of the slurry and the application rate required.
General
Should the machine have variable feed out, operate the sliding door which will eliminate any bridging and return door to previous
opening, but never close sliding door while the machine is running. Excessive noises should be investigated and any stones or
foreign bodies removed from inside the stone trap or underfeed out rotor. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Do not permit string or black plastic to get wound around the auger or feed out rotor shafts, remove this regularly as it can impose
high loads on the bearings and increase the power required to drive the machine. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Shear bolts
Shear bolts are located in the PTO drive shaft. Spare shear bolts are fitted at the bottom of the front guard.
In the event of shear bolt breakage, normally caused through stones or other objects, Note! `Safe Stop’ disconnect P.T.O shaft and
replace shear pin. Unlock stone trap door and clear any stones. Drop tray under rotor and check for obstruction.
Tray under Rotor
Any build up of manure on the rotor tray should be removed. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO. The tray is spring loaded and
adjustable. The correct gap between the rotor tips and the tray is 3 to 4 mm (1/8"). Note when the tray is dropped there should be
no gap between the coils of the springs. Gaps indicate that the springs are too weak and an irregular spread pattern will result.
Auger Spring Plates
Four spring plates are fitted to the front of the auger, these plates extend to the full diameter of the auger. These plates transfer
manure sideways into the feed out rotor and should they become damaged or bent, must be replaced or an irregular spread will
result. Before attempting to replace plates Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Agitator
A flat agitator plate is fitted to the R.H. sidewall of the body, this plate is moved up and down by a connecting rod and cam at the
front of the auger. This plate feeds manure down to the auger and prevents bridging. It is possible for this plate to freeze to the
body wall and this should be freed off prior to use. Note! `Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Stone Trap
Check stone trap regularly and remove stones, check for stones under auger and between auger and feed out rotor. Note! `Safe
Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Feed out Rotor Tips
Regularly check for wear and when necessary, hard weld to make up for wear and replace any damaged parts on rotor.
`Safe Stop’ and disengage PTO.
Note!
