CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
DANGER
Pressurized Cap Can Cause Seriou s In jury If Improperly Opened.
Never open oil cap without releas ing
pressure valve stem.
Keep face and upper body away from cap while opening.
CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. The hydraulic sy stem is design ed to operate on 10W30 SF-CC oil. The tank contains 2 gallons of oil. There should be 4" of oil in th e tank whe n full.
2. Pressurize the hydraulic tank with air (20 to 40 PSI). Always maintain air pressure in the tank to minimize slipping of the conveyo r belt whe n using heavy or wet sand.
3. Visually inspe ct th e hydra ulic s ystem for leaks, loose fasteners, missing parts, improperly routed lines. Make all repairs before operating.
1. Check tire pressure before e ac h use. Be ca use
the topdresser is ground driven always maintain
tire pressure at 20 PSI.
ATTACH TOPDRESS ER TO TOW ING
VEHI CLE
1. Attach the topdresser to the towing vehicle.
Use the pin on the towing vehicle to secure.
2. Connect the long half of the wiring harness to
short half at the end of the tongue.
3. Connect th e red w ire to the posit ive te rminal on
the towing vehicle battery. The white wire
connects to the negative te rmina l.
4. Gather and consolidate all loose wires. Tape
together with existin g wires on the towing vehicle.
Make sure there a re no loos e or dan glin g wire s to
interfere with the operation of the unit.
5. Pull the unit forward at a slow speed and flip the
electric al switch to t he "O N " po sit ion . If b rush a nd

CONTROLS
ELECTRIC SWITCH
The electric switch has 2 positions; ON, OFF. When switch is on the conveyor belt and brush will rotate. When switch is off the conveyor belt and brush stop rotating.
GATE CONTROL ARM (Fig. 3)
The gate control arm is used to control the amou nt of sand being applied to the turf. The black knob on the end is used t o loc k t he s et tin g int o position.
1. Loosen t he black knob e nough to allo w the arm to pivot.

2. Set the gate into position. Moving the gate
control arm downwa rd opens the gate and upward
motion closes it.
3. When desired gate setting is obtained, tighten
black knob to lock into position.

DANGER
Pressurized Cap Can Cause Seriou s In jury If Improperly Opened.
NEVER open oil cap with out rele asin g pressure valve stem.
Keep face and upper body away from cap while opening.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
NEVER carry passengers on the machin e or
towing vehicle, and keep everyone away from the areas of ope ration.
To avoid loss of control, NEVER, tow the unit faster than 12 MPH.
Keep hands an d f e et out of hopp er wh en uni t is operating or engin e is running on towing vehicle.
1. Fill the hopper with sand. The maximum amount of san d that can be put into the hopper is 2500 pounds. The weight of the topdresser filled with sand is approximately 3500 pounds. The towing vehicle should have adequate brakes to handle this we ight. Check the spe cific ations in t he towing vehicle’s operator manual pertaining to towing weight.
IMPORTANT: faster 12 MPH because the hydraulic motors will be damaged.
NEVER transport at a speed
PRESSURE GAUGE

3. Slowly pull the topdresser forward and flip the electrical switch to the "ON" position. The unit is now topdressing.
4. Flip electric switch to OFF to stop topdressing and before tran sp ortin g.
SAND APPLICATION RATE
The rate of sand being applied depends on the weight of the sand. Sand varies in moisture and coarseness which effects the weight. These factors must be taken into consideration when determining the amount of sand required for the application. Test a small area to determine the correct amount.
IMPORTANT: The maximum amount of sand that can be put into the hopper is 2500 pounds.
NEVER top dress at a speed faster than 8 MPH.

BEARINGS (Fig. 4)
The topdresser has 5 self sealing bearings that must be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease.
IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings to maintain a slight leakage on the seals. Too

6. When all are operating smo othly, inst all th e air pressure cap. Check the air pressure cap for leaks. See Check Hydraulic Syste m under Befo re Operating (pg. 8).
IMPORTANT: When working with hydraulics, you must keep the work area as clean as possible. Change oil and filter as recommended. If you have a new piece of equipment under warranty and a hydraulic item
goes out . . . . don’t try to fix it. Install a new
part and return the de fective part to the factory. It is easier to get warran ty on a part that has n ot been taken apart.
CHANGING OIL FILTER
The oil filter is a 10 micron cross f ilter. Change the filter every 100 hours of operation. Always fill the element with oil when inst allin g a new filte r.
3. With towing unit, pull the topdress er up to 8 MPH. Pull the top dresser until all "jerking" motion has stopped.
4. Use a tape measure to check the level of oil in the ta nk .

OIL TANK
The oil tank is a 2 gallon capa city tank. Th e oil type is 10W30 or 10W40 SF - CC (preferably 10W30). Change oil every 500 hours or yearly, whichever comes first. The drain plug is located on the bottom of the tank.
IMPORTANT: When adding oil to the system pour it through a funne l with a fine mesh screen (200 mesh or better). Keep the funnel and containers immaculately clean. This procedure prevents accidental contamination of the hydrauli c system.
WHEEL MOTOR NUT TORQUE (Fig. 6)
ALWAYS torque the nut on the whee l motor to 2 30
- 250 ft. lbs when servicing. Place the tabs of the nut on the outside as shown in Fig. 6. If the tabs are insta lled on the insid e, again st the h ub, the nut cannot be torqued properly.

To install a new conveyor belt follow the instructio ns be low.
1. Pull the topdresser forward until the conveyor belt seam is in the center of the hopper.
2. Loosen t he nuts (A) on the spring rod to rele ase the tension .(See Figure 11).
3. Remove the lacing (seam wire) from the old conve yo r be l t.
4. Grab one sid e o f the o ld con ve yor belt and pul l it free from the unit.
5. Lay the new belt on th e frame and roll it arou nd the rollers bringing th e seam to the center.
Hydraulic Schematic (pg. 15).
CONVEYOR BELT LACING
The lacing on the conveyor belt has a silicone sealer on it to prevent sand leakage inside the conveyor belt. Re apply once a year and everytime the lacing is removed for service. The silicone may be purchased locally. It is multi-purpose, weather resistant and should be flexible or flowable.
1. Tigh ten the nu t on the spring rod until t he spring is compressed to 4-1/2" as shown in Fig. 11. Be sure the front roller is parallel with the drive roller. This can be done by measuring the distance between the drive roller bearing bolt and the idler roller bearing bolt on each side. If there is a difference tighten the nut on the spring rod until

TROUBLE SHOOTING
CONDITION CAUSE CORRECTION
Conveyor Belt and Brush Not Turning
Conveyor Belt Not Turning
Bad Electrical Connections
Blown harne ss fuse.
Hydraulic lines installed backwards
Contaminated valve
Loose or broken chain
Tension of the belt is too loose.
Plug in the wiring harness and make sure wires are making contact.
Replace fuse
Standing on the left hand side (Chain Guard side) the con­veyor belt should rotate clock­wise and the brush should ro­tate counterclockwise. If in­correct, reverse the lines on the corresponding motors.
Remove cartridge to see if blocked. Clean out, making sure plunger is not damaged.
Replace valve or cartridge.
Replace chain or adjust ten­sion.
Tighten the tension.
Tire(s) Skidding
Brush set too low to the belt.
Drive roller not turni ng
One tire skids
Both tires skid
Slide a sheet of paper be­tween the brush and the belt; it should slide freely. If brush is too low slide it upwards un­til it clears the belt just enough to slide the paper un­derneath. Make sure the pa­per clears at the lacing.
Check the welds on each end of the drive roller. The shaf t may be turning but not the roller. Replace drive roller.
Check sprocket for sheared key. Replace key.
Replace the check valve on that side.
Check the valve for blockage of ports.

SEASONAL STORAGE
1. Thoroughly clean the topdresser, especially inside the hopper . The hopper and conv eyor belt area should be free of any remaining sand particles.
2. Apply a light coat of silicone to the lacing of the conveyor belt. Refer to Mainten ance se ctio n
3. Inflate all tires to 20 PSI. Or block up the topdresser to remo ve the weig ht.
4. Drain and replace hydraulic fluid and filter. Inspect all hydraulic lines and fittings. Replace if necessary. Refer to the Maintenance section.
5. Tighten all fasteners.
IDENTIFI CATION AND ORDERING
6. Lubricate all grease fittin gs and bearings. Wipe
off exces s lubrica nt . Refer t o page 10.
