FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety is the primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 3. The operating power is supplied from tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagement and disengagement instructions. Always operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop the tractor and machine quickly in case of an emergency. 4. When engaging PTO, the engine rpm should always be low. Once engaged and ready to start operating, raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain throughout operation. 5. Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL Safety decals - implement; replace immediately if damaged.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 3 - OPERATION The fertilizer spreader is versatile and ideal for granular or powdered fertilizers, seed and sand. It may also be used as a salt spreader for snow or ice covered roads during winter months. Our spreaders are designed for tractors from 16 to 30 PTO HP with a category 1 three point hitch. Spreaders can be used for broadcast spreading or may be used to spread prevalently to the left or to the right with a simple adjustment.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 16. Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs. 17. Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners. 18. Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 3.04 - Attaching to the Tractor Unit may be used on tractors ranging from 16 to 30 HP equipped with a standard rear PTO and category 1 three point hitch6. Never use this spreader with tractors over 30 HP. DANGER: Do not allow anyone to stand between spreader and tractor while attaching implement. WARNING: Never attempt to attach the implement to the tractor or make an adjustment to it without first turning the tractor off.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL operation. If it was necessary to remove the PTO shielding to do any of the above operations, do not forget to replace it. 3.05 - Start Up CAUTION: Load hopper with product only after the spreader has been properly attached to the tractor. WARNING: Chemicals may cause eye, skin or breathing problems. Always wear a face mask, gloves and goggles when filling hopper. Refer to chemical manufacturer’s label for specific safety information.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL WARNING: Before engaging the PTO, be sure no persons or animals are behind or beside the spreader. DANGER: Never allow anyone within 50 yards of the spreader while the PTO is engaged. Product thrown from the spreader can cause serious injury or death. DANGER: Never allow any person inside the hopper for any reason. Serious injury or death can result from someone becoming entangled in the agitator.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL Fig. 8 Three different ways of spreading. Spread adjustment for Models SS1036B, SS2036B, SS1067B & SS2067B: These fertilizer spreaders have two ways of regulating material distribution: 1. Adjusting the spread position. 2. Adjusting the quantity of material being spread. Adjusting the spread position: The machine can be adjusted to spread to the center or off to either of the two sides. This is accomplished by opening the left gate (see #15, fig.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL Use Table 48 to determine the approximate amount of material to be spread in lbs./acre at a 46 foot spreading width and put the lever into that position on the sliding scale. Example: With the lever in position 5, a ground speed of 5 mph, spreading at 46 ft., the output should be approximately 246 lbs. per acre. Fig. 9 Moving the wings in a clockwise position will obtain more of a left spread pattern.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 4 - MAINTENANCE DANGER: Stop engine, lock parking brake and remove key before performing any service or maintenance. Always use personal protection devices, such as a breathing mask capable of filtering toxic powders, safety glasses and gloves, when performing maintenance. Refer to chemical manufacturer’s label for specific safety information. Keep fingers out of slots to prevent injury. 4.01 - Maintenance Safety 1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. 2.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL 16. Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair the function and/or safety of the machine and reduce its life. If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability for injury or warranty. 4.02 - Service Before beginning work: 1. Apply a thick layer of grease to all exposed moving parts. 2.
FERTILIZER SPREADERS OPERATOR’S MANUAL If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length: 1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other half to the implement. 2. Raise and lower the implement with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the driveline is shortest.
