3. Using the Auger Lock-out System
A. Shut off spinner and auger and position the
main hydraulics on/off lever to off.
B. Remove the lock-out pin, rotate the handle, and
insert the pin through the holes in the handle and
the bracket to prevent accidental engagement of
the hydraulics. (see illustration below)
C. The lower tray may now be opened for servicing
the auger.
D. After servicing, first close and lock the tray then
reverse the steps to move the handle and pin back
to their original positions.
BE SURE TO REINSERT
THE LOCK-OUT PIN THROUGH THE HOLES IN
THE HANDLE AND THE BRACKET.
E. Turn the main hydraulics back on and the
spreader is ready for operation.
Recommended Maintenance
A. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
B. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-
foaming hydraulic oil.
C. Use precautions to keep contaminants from get-
ting in reservoir when filling.
D. Quick connects are a prime source of
contamination.
1. Clean quick connects before connecting or
disconnecting them.
2. Protect quick connects from contaminates at
all times.
E. Lubricate all bearings with suitable type grease
on a regular basis. More frequent lubrication is
recommended during periods of heavy use.
F. Lubricate the spinner hinge rod periodically.
G. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gear-
boxes with SAE 90 gear lubricant.
H. When not in use, keep the spreader tray empty
to prevent freezing of material around auger in
extremely cold weather.
I. To extend the life of your spreader:
1. Hose down and clean after each use.
2. Repaint and/or oil after each season.
CAUTION
Position the valve on/off control lever in the off posi-
tion 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 contin-
ues to pump oil to the hydraulic valve. This could cause
a hose to burst spraying hot oil.
CAUTION
Before working in or around the auger area, the valve
control lever must be in the off position. Disengage PTO,
shut off engine, and follow the auger lock-out instruc-
tions. MAKE SURE THE LOCK-OUT PIN IS ALWAYS USED
IN BOTH THE ON AND OFF POSITIONS. After servicing
is complete, reverse the process to restore the spreader
function.
4. Miscellaneous
A. Valve setting changes may be made with truck
in motion.
B. By moving on/off lever to the off position, spin-
Auger ON
ner and auger may be stopped at the same time
without changing their valve settings.
C. Close cover plate flat over spreader trough and
lock in place for normal use of dump truck. Tailgate
may be opened from top or bottom.
D. When truck is used for extensive hauling the
spinner assembly should be removed.
E. If auger clogs, shut off spinner, open auger knob
valve and increase the engine speed. With the
engine at a higher speed, move the valve lever
from the on to the off positions rapidly; repeat as
needed. This action may unclog the auger. If this
action fails to free the auger, manual unclogging
will be required.
