Mounting, dismounting of the spreader Mounting of the spreader With tripod The company Kugelmann offers tripods with 3t and 5t total capacity as special accessory. Notice: to the empty weight of the spreader comes the weight of the filling. The resulting total wieght must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
Page 27
Chapter 04 www.kugelmann.com Preconditions for the hydraulic equipment are, as described in chapter 3, a performance of the hydraulic pump of 40 l/min, 200 bar pressure and a pressure free return flow. If the performance of the hydraulic pump of the vehicle is insufficient and there is a p.t.o. shaft, drive is done through an additional p.t.o.
Mounting, disassembly of spreader With hangers The mountable spreader can also be moved with hangers. The following has to be kept in mind. Carrying load, danger for health and life! Do not stand under suspended loads! Pay attention to the carrying capacity of the hanger, possibly consider partial loading. Most suitable for this purpose are heavy-duty straps, which, of course, must have the required carrying capacty.
Chapter 04 www.kugelmann.com Disassembly of the spreader equipment Pull off the control cables and the hydraulic hoses. Push the 4 tripod parts completely back into the square tubes, and secure with eyes. Precondition is, of course, an acceptable level surface. Loosen lashing straps. When mounted with intermediate frames, pull out the 4 eyes, Lift mountable spreader with hand cranks (2 persons) high enough that the carrying vehicle can move out carefully.When dismantiling pay attention to the real weight of the spreader.
Mounting, dismounting of the spreader Roll-Fix Mounting of the spreader The tip truck dumping body is to be cleaned before mounting the spreader. The tip truck dumping body and the speader could be damaged through remaining material. Pay attentiion that hydraulic pipes and connecting cables of the spreader are not hanging down and could thus be torn off during mounting of the Roll-Fix.
Page 31
Chapter 04 www.kugelmann.com Now drive backwards until the folding coulumns fold upwards. If the columns are folded lower, the tip truck dumping body to about 5° to 7°. Drive back further until the back edge of the tip truck dumping body is at the stop plates of the rolling frame. Let the tip truck dumping body down completely.
Mounting, dismounting of the spreader Putting down of a spreader with Roll-Fix Chose a level and stable parking space with sufficient room to drive forward from under the spreader. Unplug the electric cables of the control at the socket box. Unscrew protective flaps of the connector plugs. Only unscrew at the cap nut not at the connector housing.

Mounting, dismounting of the spreader Mounting with spider Remove the platform of the carrying vehicle (see operating instructions of the producer) In case of a tip truck platform, retract the telescopic cylinder and secure it against unintended use. Close the stop valve. Disassemble the stop valve or fix the stop valve in closed condition for example with cable straps.
Chapter 04 www.kugelmann.com Dismounting of the spreader with spider substructure Empty the spreading material container. The parking space must have sufficient carrying capacity and a solid surface. Secure vehicle against rolling away. Disconnect electric control cables between the spreader and the carrying vehicle or disconnect (detach) control. Screw protective covers on the connectors.
Page 36
Mounting, dismounting of the spreader In case the tripods do not fit into the mountings of the spreader because of the compressed carrying vehicle, the base setting of the lowering tripods must not be changed (Do not put bolts into neighbouring holes).
Operation of the spreader Control Two models are available, the MCSS 3/4 and the k-tronic. A separate instruction for the control enables you to get more familiar with the subject. Here we only describe the operating elements. MCSS 3 / 4 With the red toggle switch you turn on the all-round beacon, the lights as well as the spreader.

Operation of the spreader Operation of the spreader Filling of the spreader Both spreading material chambers are equipped with a convertible roof which can be opened and closed with drawstrings. Danger of squeezing. Only open roof with drawstrings. The hands must not be between the spreader and the locking mechanism! The solid spreading material is filled into the chambers with a suitable loader, a device or from a silo.
Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com Starting the spreader Before driving check all fixations again. Is the spreader mounted in the correct position? Are all bolts fixed and properly secured? Operation of the equipment, its care, repair and maintenance must always be dóne by instructed personnel.

Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com Now you set the spread quantity through the control and control it according to k-tronic instructions. If the spreading material is changed we recommend to definitely check the settings. Setting of the spreading equipment Refined salt and rock salt with standard density are set in the control and must be dry. All safety measure have been taken.
Page 44
Opertion of the spreader The screw-conveyors have to be completely filled with spreading material. Therefore, move the screw-conveyor by hand over the flow divider block until the spreading material is delivered evenly. Empty buckets and place in position. The k-tronic is described in the detailed description for the dealer. Flowchart overview On the k-tronic Detail menu...
Page 45
Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com After stop of equipment tools/machine parts may still run! After a few seconds stop the hydraulic drive and the vehicle. Pay attention to the above mentioned danger notices.The spread pattern can be judged by the distribution of the spread material on the ground.
Operation of the spreader Brine equipment Filling Close stop valve next to the large debris filter. The vehicle must not be moved while the filling hose is attached. Park vehicle at the place of filling and remove ignition key. Connect limit switch cable of teh filling equipment. Connect filling hose via C-connection withthe spreader.
Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com Setting of the brine nozzle When the spreading conditions are extreme, the position of the sole infeed to the solid spreading material can be changed, when, for example the spread pattern has to be moved to the extreme right. Brine with linear adjustment Loosen screws.
Operation of the spreader Non-return valve The non-return valve prevents the inflow of brine at the end of the operation with damp salt. It also makes sure that when the damp salt operation is switched on again brine is put out immediately. With co-axial adjustment the non-return valve is at the disc unit.
Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com Emptying the brine tanks Emptying of the brine tanks can be done through the hydraulic system or the brin pump. Another possibility to empty them is through the filling connection. Subject to changes...
Operation of the spreader Manual operation via flow divider block In an emergency the control can be done manually through the flow divider block.The setting of the three hand wheels (four for the damp feature option) is always the zero position. If this is not observed this leads to fa ilures in the operation of the electric control.
Page 51
Chapter 05 www.kugelmann.com If the screws cannot be moved this way, the spreading material may be frozen or the screw is blocked through a foreign object. In this case the container has to be emptied with a shovel from above. Under no circumstances remove the grid while the vehicle is in operation.
Operation of the spreading equipment Emptying the spreading material chambers after work You should not under any circumstances leave the spreading equipment partly or fully loaded for an extended period of time. The spreading material should not freeze over night. Park the vehicle in a shelter protected from the weather and covered by a roof.
Maintenance and care, wear parts Maintenance and care The mountable spreader of the company Kugelmann is for the most part maintenance free. The bearings of the screw conveyors are at the front equipped with lubricating nipples. The chain tension (drive of the screw conveyor) should be checked monthly and be corrected if needed.
Chapter 06 www.kugelmann.com Exchange of the sensors at the screw conveyors, the spreading disc and the chute If no feedback arrives at the control, this can have many reasons. The last possibity is that the sensor is defect. Check the oil supply before and see whether the screw conveyors are blocked. Loosen attachment and dismount sensor and supply cable.
