SET -UP & ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Determine right or lef t side of the Manure Spreader by viewing it from the rear . If instructions or
parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to the Cap Screw Torque Value Chart.
PREPARING MANURE SPREADER
The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires inst alled.
1. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to
the appropriate torque. Wheel bolts should be tightened at 60-65 ft./lbs. of torque.
2. Check the tires and inflate to the recommended pressure. (10.00 - 15 tires to 40 Pounds).
3. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened.
4. Securely retighten after a few hours of operation, as bolts can loosen up on new machinery.
5. Lubricate the machine completely , check the oil level of the gearbox, fill if necessary.
TRANSPORTING
SAFETY
Follow state and local regulations when towing farm equipment on public highways. Check with local
law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Unless otherwise prohibited, use a
slow-moving vehicle emblem. Never tow the manure spreader on a public highway at a speed greater
than 20 m.p.h. (32 kph).

PREPARING FOR OPERA TION
TRACTOR CONNECTIONS
Tractor Hitch
Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with asafety locking device. Remove the
weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from pipe mount
and place on convenient storage mount located on the left front of spreader. This allows protection of
jack from tractor tires during turns. The hitch of the spreader is designed for a standardized tractor hitch.
Adjust the drawbar so that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. Extend or shorten it so that the
horizontal distance from the end of the tractor power takeoff shaft to the center of the hitch pin hole is 14
inches for 540 PTO as shown in drawing. An improperly located hitch point may cause damage to the
universal joints of the power takeoff. Secure the drawbar so that the hitch pin hole is directly below the
power drive line.
PTO
Attach the PTO of the spreader to the tractor by sliding the spring loaded locking collar on PTO yoke
rearward, then sliding it onto the tractor PTO shaft. Release spring loaded collar. Be sure the pins fall
into the groove of the tractor PTO shaft and collar snaps forward into locking position.
CAUTION: Do not use a steel hammer to aid in joining PTO parts.
If this implement is attached to a tractor with a clevis
hitch (hammer-strap) style drawbar, the
hammer-strap must be removed to prevent
damage to the IID guarding and the IID telescoping
members. [See Figure1]
If this implement 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 guarding and
the IID telescoping members. [See Figure 2]

OPERATION
LOADING
In freezing weather, make cert ain that the apron chain is not frozen to the spreader floor or any lumps of
manure are frozen to the floor. Begin loading the spreader at the front end and work toward the rear until
loading is completed. Loading this way permits the material to be spread uniformly . Loading front to rear
is particularly important when the spreader is loaded by a mechanical loader because this type of load
requires more power to spread than others loads. When hauling extremely heavy materials with a large
portion of dirt, it may be necessary to reduce the load size to prevent excessive shear bolt breakage.
Never dump material onto the beater . Do not use extra sideboards. Do not overload the manure spreader.
Overloading decreases spreading effectiveness. Do not load more than 15 inches above the beater .
SPREADING
NOTE: Two speed apron drive and beater engage/disengage mechanisms are contained in a single
gearbox at the rear of spreader. This gearbox is controlled by one rope leading to the tractor.
1.
Make sure that the gear box is in the “low” position, with the shifter dog all the way to the “low” side of
the indicator slot.
2. Raise the hydraulic endgate (if so equipped).
3. Throttle tractor down, engage PTO, then increase the throttle to 540 RPM’s and begin moving.
4. The apron speed may be increased from 4-1/2 fpm to 8-1/2 fpm (at 540 RPM) by pulling once on the
control rope until the shifter stops and locks into the “high speed” position. The beater will continue to
operate in this position.
5. When the spreader is almost empty , the bed can be cleaned out by again, pulling once on the control
rope until the shifter dog locks into the “clean-out/beater disengaged” position. The beater will stop,
and the apron will continue to run in the “high” speed position, thus saving unloading time.
6. When spreader is empty, SHUT OFF PTO. With the PTO off, pull the control rope once again and
release it. The shifter will return to the “low” position, ready to begin unloading the next load.
DO NOT SHIFT FROM CLEAN OUT TO LOW POSITION WITH THE PTO RUNNING.
7. NEVER operate the spreader with a PTO speed greater than 540 RPM.

ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVE CHAIN
To adjust the main drive chain, turn the
nut on the adjusting rod (located at the
left hand front side of spreader) clockwise.
There should be 1/2 inch deflection
at the center of drive chain. Over
tightening or too loose of a chain, will
result in excessive wear on the bearing,
chain and sprockets.

1/2” deflection at the
center of drive chain
Adjust the apron by tightening the adjusting bolts located at
the front of the spreader until the apron chain rests lightly on
top of the chain guides located below the axle.
NOTE: Tighten the adjusting bolts on each front corner
equally on each side so that the apron slats run parallel with
the ends of the bed. The apron will be damaged if the
machine is operated with one end of the apron slats running
ahead of the opposite end. Do not tighten the apron chains
excessively.
APRON DRIVE CHAIN
Maintain proper tension on the apron drive chain. There should be a
1/4“ deflection at the side of the chain when properly adjusted. To
adjust, loosen the bolt holding the tightener. Slide the tightener against
the drive chain and retighten the bolt. Failure to maintain proper
tension will result in excessive wear to the chain and sprocket.

SERVICE
SHEAR BOLT
The beater and apron drive are protected by one shear bolt. Two
extra 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.

BEATER
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.
WHEEL HUBS
To service or 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. Replace the cotter key with a new one
of the correct size.

LUBRICATION
The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a systematic routine to
insure complete and quick lubrication of the machine.
GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is
performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc.
GREASE FITTINGS
There are numerous grease fittings on the spreader, If these are lubricated properly and of ten enough, it
will prolong the life of the spreader. (Grease every 20 hours, also before storage and after powerwashing.) Make certain that the grease fittings are free of paint and dirt. Force a high-quality grease into
them until the grease comes out around the shaft on the sleeve-type bearings. On the sealed ball
bearings, grease should be added slowly until a slight bead forms at the seals indicating the correct
amount of lubricant. Wipe off excess grease to prevent the accumulation of chaff and grit around the
bearings.
GEARBOX
Before using your new machine, check the oil level in the gearbox located at the left rear of the spreader .
Keep the gearbox filled to the center of the top shaft of the gearbox with 75W90 gear lube.
DRIVE CHAINS
Lubricate the drive chains with a light machine oil. Keep chains aligned with sprockets, this will lengthen
the life of the sprockets and chain. Lubricate chains often.
PTO ASSEMBLY
Care must be taken to keep the male and female driving elements well
lubricated and free sliding. Failure to observe this precaution will result in
excessive pressure being required to collapse or extend the assembly while
subject to operating torque. This excessive force may damage or displace the
jackshaft bearings. DO NOT lubricate the shield surfaces. The shield
surfaces must be kept dry, as dirt accumulation on them will quickly cause
these units to bind and not rotate. Care should also be taken to be certain that
the rotating integral shields are not dented or damaged, as this also will result
in excessive force being applied against the jackshaft. Damaged shields
also cause obvious difficulties when installing the assembly. If at any time the
shields do not turn freely , they should be checked to determine the cause, and
repaired or cleaned. To avoid damage to the main drive bearings, avoid
turning sharp corners while PTO is running.
Start and Stop the PTO slowly to avoid damage to the drive line.
