OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. WHEN STARTING UP NEW EQUIPMENT, BE SURE EVERYONE IS STANDING CLEAR, WATCH

FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY REQUIRE SHUTTING SYSTEM DOWN. EQUIPMENT MUST BE

STARTED UP SLOWLY AND WATCHED FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. WATCH FOR ANYTHING THAT

MAY BE HITTING SOMETHING THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE HITTING, AND LISTEN FOR SOUNDS

THAT ARE ABNORMAL. CORRECT ANYTHING THAT IS ABNORMAL BEFORE CONTINUING USE

OF THE EQUIPMENT.

2. BEFORE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, OR REMOVAL OF SPREADER, ALL

HYDRAULIC VALVES, PTO, AND TRUCK ENGINE MUST BE SHUT OFF.

3. WHEN SPREADER IS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE, OR NOT IN USE, THE VALVE ON-OFF LEVER

SHOULD BE IN THE “OFF” POSITION. IF LEFT IN “ON” POSITION EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY OCCUR

IF PUMP CONTINUES TO PUMP OIL THROUGH THE HYDRAULIC VALVE. THIS THEN COULD

CAUSE A HOSE TO BURST SPRAYING HOT OIL ON THOSE NEARBY.

INITIAL START UP:

This spreader is equipped with a hydraulic safety interlock device designed to interrupt oil flow to the auger

motor when disconnected. The spreader is shipped with the interlock device in the disconnected position and

must be connected for operating the spreader.

1. Connect hydraulic hoses to safety interlock, spreader and spinner.

2. Fill reservoir about three-fourths full with hydraulic oil. (See page 5 for type.)

KEEP OIL CLEAN.

3. Start truck engine.

4. Be sure valve ON-OFF lever is in “OFF” position.

5. Keep auger and spinner knobs on valve in closed position.

6. Engage PTO and allow hydraulic oil to circulate several minutes to warm up.

7. Open both valve knobs to first position.

8. Move valve ON-OFF lever to “ON” position.

9. Examine auger and spinner to see if they are functioning properly. (They will be operating slowly.)

(Left hand mounted spinner should turn in CCW rotation, and right hand mounted spinner should

turn in CW rotation, as viewed from above spinner. Auger should turn in direction which makes

auger fliting appear to move towards trough dropout opening.)

10. Open valve knobs to other positions and check to see if spinner and auger operate faster as knobs are

opened, and slower as knobs are closed.

11. Turn valve knobs to closed position and move ON-OFF lever to “OFF” position.

12. Shut truck engine off.

13. Check entire hydraulic system for leaks.

14. Refill reservoir to three-fourths full.

15. Hydraulic system is now ready for use.
