3. Move auger (conveyor chain) and spinner knobs on the valve
to the open position.
4. Engage PTO and circulate hydraulic oil for several minutes to
warm up.
5. Move valve on/off lever to on.
6. Inspect hydraulic system for leaks.
7. Check conveyor chain and spinner to see if they are working
properly and rotating the correct direction. To reverse rotation,
switch the hydraulic lines at the motor.
8. Refill reservoir to 3/4 full.
9. Hydraulic system should now be ready for use.
Spreader Start-up
1. Check feed gate opening and baffle positions for desired
material flow and spread pattern. See chute section.
2. Shut off spinner and auger (conveyor chain) knobs and
position the on/off lever to on. Engage the PTO and allow the
CAUTION
• Be sure everyone is standing clear of spreader.
• Be alert for anything that may require shutting
down the system.
• Before working in or around spreader equipment,
be sure all hydraulic controls are moved to off
position.
hydraulic system to warm up.
3. After the system is warm turn the spinner and auger
(conveyor chain) knobs to the desired settings.
4. Changing the conveyor chain and spinner speeds as well as
adjusting the baffle positions will produce various spread pat-
terns.
Miscellaneous
1. Valve setting changes may be made with truck in motion.
2. By moving on/off lever to the off position, spinner and
conveyor chain may be stopped at the same time without
changing their valve settings.
Spreader Maintenance - Hydraulic Models
1. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
2. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-foaming
hydraulic oil.
3. Use precautions to keep contaminants from getting in
reservoir when filling.
4. Quick connects are a prime source of contamination.
• Clean quick connects before connecting or disconnecting
them.
• Protect quick connects from contaminates at all times.
5. Lubricate all bearings with suitable type grease on a regular
basis. More frequent lubrication is recommended during periods
of heavy use.
6. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gearboxes with
SAE 90 gear lubricant.
7. When not in use, keep the spreader empty to prevent freezing
of material in the hopper in extremely cold weather.
8. To extend the life of your spreader:
• Hose down and clean after each use.
• Repaint and/or oil after each season.
CAUTION
Before working in or around spreader, the valve
control lever must be in the off position. Disengage
PTO and shut off engine.
CAUTION
Position the valve on/off control lever in the off
position when the spreader is not in use or is
removed. In the event the valve on/off control lever
is left in the on position, a heat problem may occur
as the pump continues to pump oil to the hydraulic
valve. This could cause a hose to burst spraying hot
oil.
