SET -UP & ASSEMBLY

Note: Determine right and left side of spreader by viewing it from the rear . If instructions
or parts list s call for hardened bolts, refer to Cap Screw T orque Value page to identify.

PREPARING MANURE SPREADER

The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires installed.

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 100 ft./lbs. of torque.

2. Check the tires and inflate to the recommended pressure(295/75RX22.5 tires to 75 to 80 psi.).

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

REFLECTORS/SMV

When transporting on the highway , connect the spreader to
the tractor with a lighting power cord. The lighting system
is to be connected to the 7 pin power receptacle (per
SAEJ560B) on your tractor. If your tractor is not equipped
with the proper receptacle, see your tractor dealer for
details. Make sure lights are functioning properly . Regularly
clean the reflective tape at the rear of the spreader . There is
a holder provided for your SMV sign. 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).

(Shown w/optional upper beater)

SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)

Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing farm
equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.
Check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Never tow the manure
spreader on a public highway at a speed greater than 20 m.p.h. (32 kph).

1. Chain is sufficiently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the manure spreader ,
without placing tension on the chain.

2. Chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder .

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

TRACTOR CONNECTIONS

Tractor Hitch

Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with
a safety 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 top of left hitch channel. 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
and 15-3/4” for 1000 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.

15-3/4” for 1000 RPM

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 Figure 1]

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]

Manure Spreader Speed Control

Attach the manure spreader speed control/beater engage/disengage rope to a convenient point on the
tractor.

-14-

OPERATION

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

If a foreign object becomes lodged in the beater area and shears the shear bolt, disengage the PTO. S top
the tractor engine, remove the ignition key , and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working
on the spreader.

WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or shields
removed for clarification. NEVER operate machine until these guards or shields are in
proper operating position.

LOADING

In freezing weather, make cert ain that hydraulic tail gate (if equipped with one) is not frozen to the sides or
on the floor of the spreader. Make sure the apron chain is not frozen to the spreader floor or any lump s 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 spreader.
Overloading decreases spreading effectiveness. Do not load more than 15 inches above the beater .

SPREADING - 2 SPEED

NOTE: T wo speed drive mechanism and beater engage/disengage are controlled be one rope leading to

the tractor.

1. When ready to unload, make sure beater is in the engaged position and low speed indicator is
visible through low speed hole in panel of spreader .

2. Raise the hydraulic endgate.

OPERATION

SPREADING - WITH OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC DRIVE

1. Engage tractor PTO shaft slowly. Beater is always in the engaged position, therefore, engaging
tractor PTO will automatically start beater.

2. Raise the hydraulic tailgate.

3. Open hydraulic valve on tractor connected to speed control valve on Manure Spreader.

4. Control speed of apron by turning speed control handle clockwise to increase speed,
counter-clockwise to decrease speed.

5. When the Manure Spreader is almost empty, the bed can be cleaned out by disengaging tractor
PTO (which will stop beater), and increasing apron speed by turning control handle clockwise,
thus saving unnecessary driving time.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS WILL VOID WARRANTY

-16-

ADJUSTMENTS

DRIVE CHAIN

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

Tightener Bolt

APRON SPEED AND BEATER CONTROL

One cable controls both the beater clutch and two speed
clutch. To compensate for wear or stretching of this cable,
adjust the turnbuckle behind shield at the front of the
spreader.

Turnbuckle

Shields Removed for Clarity

TWO SPEED CLUTCH

If clutch control yoke becomes worn, it may be necessary to adjust the high speed clutch so it engages
and disengages completely . Adjustment to compensate for this wear is made by sliding spring stop (A)
on control rod closer to the clutch engaging lever. Initial adjustment should be made as follows: Distance
(B) between spring stop and jam nut is seven (7”) inches. Distance (C) between jam nut and shifting rod
bracket is one-eighth (1/8”) inches. This distance may be achieved by adjusting the turnbuckle at front of
spreader.

WHEEL HUBS

T o adjust 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.

-17-

ADJUSTMENTS

BEATER CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

It may be necessary to compensate for wear in the beater clutch and clutch control yoke. When properly
adjusted the moveable jaw clutch should have one-quarter (1/4”) inch (distance C) between clutches
when disengaged. To adjust, loosen jam nut (A) holding spring bracket. With beater disengaged (clean
out position), tighten nut (B) against shifter lever bracket until the proper distance between clutch jaws is
reached. Overtightening will cause beater not to fully engage and cause excess tension on cable. Tighten
lock nut (D) so there is one thirty-second (1/32”) inch clearance between clutch jaws (E).

APRON

1. Adjust the apron by loosening the mounting bolt s on

the chain slides on the outside of the frame. Mounting
bolts shown in the drawing.

2. Tighten the adjusting bolt s until the apron chain clears
the underside of the axle by 1 inch.

3. Retighten jam nut.

Mounting Bolts Adjusting Bolt

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 WORM DRIVE CHAIN

The apron worm drive chains are kept tight
with a spring type tightener that does not
require adjustment. However, periodic
inspection should be made to check for wear.

-18-

SERVICE

SHEAR BOLTS - Main Drive

The beater and the apron drive are protected by
one shear bolt located on the front end of the side
drive shaft (left side of spreader). T wo spare shear
bolts are provided. Shearing of the bolts 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 when
replacing shear bolts.

Spare Shear Bolts

Shear Bolt

SHEAR BOLTS - Apron Drive

The worm gearbox and apron are protected by two shear bolts.
One on the driven high speed sprocket (A) and one on the
low speed sprocket (B). Two spare shear bolts are provided
(C). Shearing of these bolts is normally due to the apron
being frozen fast to the floor, or catching on frozen “chunks”.
Occasionally the shear bolts will shear due to the spreader
being overloaded. Always determine the cause of failure, and
eliminate the cause before replacing the shear bolt, using H&S
shear bolts when replacing shear bolts.

Shields Removed for Clarity

NOTE: Normal apron speeds at 540 RPM are: low speed

4-1/2 fpm, high speed and clean out position 8-1/2 fpm. If the
apron is not moving at these speeds, especially in high or
clean out, check and replace the high speed shear bolt (A).

Failure to do so will result in serious damage to the
sprocket and shaft.

Shields Removed for Clarity

ABC

BEATER

When replacing beater paddles, the sharp edges 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 . Always use H&S special grade
5 bolts, washers, and nuts when replacing. Torque to 60
foot lbs.

(Shown w/optional upper beater)

WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION, CLEAN & RE-PACK INSTRUCTIONS

Wheel hubs are equipped with a grease zerk for regular maintenance. Annually disassemble and clean
parts in solvent. Reassemble bearings per instructions in the Service Chapter and tighten the
castellated nut on the spindle to the point where there is no end-play and a slight drag on the bearings.

LUBRICATION

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. The operator should become familiar with all
lubrication points and establish a systematic routine to insure complete and quick lubrication of the
machine. If these are lubricated properly and often enough, it will prolong the life of the spreader.
(Grease every 10 hours, also before and after power washing.) 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.

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.

GEARBOX

Before using your new machine, check the oil in the main apron drive and beater drive gearbox.
Keep the gearbox filled to the oil plug on the side of the gearbox as shown with 80/90 gear lube.

PTO ASSEMBLY

Keep the male and female shafts of the PTO 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 the main shaft bearings. Never lubricate
the shield surfaces. the shield surfaces must be kept dry, as dirt accumulation on them will cause the
shields to bind and not rotate. Dented or damaged PTO shields, will also result in excessive force being
applied against the jackshaft. 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 the PTO is running. Start and Stop the PTO slowly to avoid damage to the drive line.
