C-Dax CDIT400 OWNER’S MANUAL (Pt.No.
INTRODUCTION Congratulations. You have just purchased an advanced spreader from C-Dax Ltd. C-Dax Ltd is committed to providing you, the farmer, with quality applicating systems. DESCRIPTION The C-Dax C-DIT400 is a ground-driven spreader designed for application of pelleted fertilisers. It can also be used for application of other products such as grass seed and magnesium oxide.
LIABILITY The maximum liability, which is accepted by C-Dax Ltd, is limited to replacement of faulty goods only. Every care has been taken in the manufacture of our goods but because use of the goods is outside the control of the manufacturer, the end user assumes all responsibility for the use. Neither the manufacturer nor retailer shall be liable for loss or damage resulting from use.
OPERATION The product to be spread is placed in the hopper. When the spreader is towed forward, the right hand wheel drives through the lever operated mechanical clutch and gearbox to turn the spinner in a clockwise direction. When the control handle is in the disengage position (fully back) the clutch is disengaged and the shutter is closed. Pulling the handle forward (towards the operator) engages the clutch and rotates the shutter located at the bottom of the hopper to an open position.
CALIBRATION 1. Ensure the control handle is fully back (clutch disengaged, shutter closed). 2. To calibrate your spreader, place a measured amount of product (10 Kg) in the hopper. 1. Set the Shutter Stop Lever to the position (1-9) indicated in the Calibration Guides below. Hole position 9 (shutter fully open) is denoted by two holes vertically one above the other. 2. Tow the spreader at the desired speed and pull the control handle forward to engage the clutch and open the shutter. 3.
OPERATING THE SPREADER When the spreader has been correctly calibrated, the hopper may be filled to the required level and spreading commenced. To reduce agitator damage to product and to ensure that product is not forced past the agitator shaft when towing the spreader to the area to be treated, the drive to the gearbox should be disconnected by ensuring the control lever is in the disengage position (fully back).
MAINTENANCE The following maintenance actions are mandatory for reliable use of the spreader. Before Use Check the tyre pressures and charge with air as required. The correct pressure is 15PSI (100Kpa). Disengage the clutch by ensuring the control lever is fully back then turn the spinner by hand to ensure that it is free to turn without interference. Check the hopper to ensure that no debris is inside. If the spreader has not been used for some time, grease the bearings.
