ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: DISCONNECT PTO DRIVE SHAFT AND HYDRAULIC HOSES (RELIEVE HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE) BEFORE CLEANING, ADJUSTING, LUBRICATING OR SERVICING THIS SPREADER. FAILURE
TO HEED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
SPINNER MATERIAL GUIDES
Regularly inspect and adjust two spinner material
guides located at both the LR and RR of the spreader.
Create a 1/8 - 3/8” clearance between material guides
and spinner teeth, figure 7. Maintain the recommended
clearances for maximum spreading pattern. Adjust to
prevent excessive manure build-up on material guide
inner surfaces. Adjust to prevent manure chunks or
foreign object lodging between material guides and
spinner teeth.
NOTE: Excessive lodging can cause premature spin
-
ner tooth wear, “bent-over” or even breakage.
SHEAR ARM MATERIAL GUIDE
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment for the 1/8- 3/8” clearance of each material
guide to spinner tooth is made by loosening the jam
nut on the linkage arm and turning the linkage arm to
either move the guide in closer or out farther from the
spinner teeth. After adjustment has been made for the
1/8- 3/8” clearance retighten the jam nut to hold the
material guide in place. Once recommended clear-
ance is obtained turn spinners over by hand in the di-
rection by which the spreader would turn to check
clearance. Do not turn in the opposite direction as
front chain tightener damage could occur. If foreign
objects enter the spinner area the rear pivot bolt on
the shear arm is designed to shear. The ½-13x3½”
grade 5 replacement machine bolts are stored under
the rear shield. For replacement install with ½” flat
washer on top and on bottom of block and tighten ny
-
lon locknut firmly.
