PB-SV - 14 -
Route hydraulic hoses through the hose support rod
which is mounted to the hitch frame, figure 2. Connect
the hydraulic hoses for the flow control rear gate to the
tractor’s double acting valve hydraulic system. Move
the tractor hydraulic controls to observe proper flow
gate operation. If the controls operate the gate in
opposite directions to what you expect, reverse the
hydraulic hose connections at the tractor.
WARNING: HYDRAULIC FLUID ESCAPING
UNDER PRESSURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT
FORCE TO PENETRATE SKIN. KEEP ALL HOSES
AND CONNECTIONS IN GOOD SERVICEABLE
CONDITION. FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Before loading spreader, slowly
engage the tractor
PTO and operate machine at idle speed for several
minutes to ensure the spreader is lubricated and
operating properly.
Manually latch/close the trip pan doors, figure 4.
Check that the flow control rear gate is completely
closed. It is unlawful to allow slurry to splash or leak
onto public roads.
