SAFETY INFORMATION YOUR SAFETY ALERT! IS INVOLVED. THIS SYMBOL IS USED THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK WHENEVER YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED. TAKE TIME TO BE CAREFUL. REMEMBER: THE CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST OPERATOR. MOST ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY HUMAN ERROR. CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
SAFETY INFORMATION Keep signs in good condition. Immediately replace any missing or damaged signs. RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.
SAFETY INFORMATION TRACTOR: This operators manual uses the term “Tractor” when identifying the power or the towing source. W A R N I N G TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT, READ AND STUDY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.
1. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to the appropriate torque. The wheel bolts must be tightened at 100 ft./lbs. of torque on the 560, and 300 ft./lbs. of torque on the 660 2.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION TRACTOR CONNECTIONS Tractor Hitch Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Remove the weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from the pipe mount and place it on the storage mount located on the left front of spreader.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION Hydraulics The spreader requires a 4 hose hook-up; Connect the set of hydraulic hoses which operate the hydraulic endgate to a double acting valve on the tractor. Connect the set of hydraulic hoses which operate the spreader main aprons from the spreader to a double acting valve on the tractor.
OPERATION EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN If a foreign object becomes lodged in the beater area and shears the shear bolt, disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the spreader. WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or shields removed for clarification.
ADJUSTMENTS APRON Tighten the four adjusting bolts (1 on each side of spreader and the two below the input shaft shield) equally so that the apron slats run parallel with the ends of the bed. The apron will be damaged if the machine is operated with one end of the apron slats running ahead of the opposite end.

ADJUSTMENTS PRIMARY & SECOND BEATER DRIVE CHAINS Both chains are spring loaded. Check both chains regularly to maintain space between the coils of the springs. Adjust the “I” bolt to increase spring tension. If the space between the coils of the spring is not able to be maintained by adjusting the I-bolt, a link may have to be removed in the main aprons to maintain proper adjustment.
SERVICE SHEAR BOLT Both beaters at the rear of the spreader are protected by one shear bolt located in the PTO at the front of the spreader. Four spare shear bolts are provided. Shearing of shear bolts is normally due to large frozen chunks of manure, foreign objects (rocks, chunks of wood, etc.) in the manure, running the apron too fast when unloading long straw and pen-packed material, or STARTING THE SPREADER PTO TOO QUICKLY WITH HIGH TRACTOR RPM’S.

SERVICE BEATER When replacing the beater paddles, the sharp edges of the teeth must lead in the direction of beater travel. On the right half of the beater the teeth must point to the right side of the spreader. On the left half of the beater the teeth must point to the left side of the spreader.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT REAR PAN The rear pan is optional equipment on the 560 & 660 manure spreaders. The rear pan and hydraulic endgate may be used together on both models. -21-...
LUBRICATION GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc. GREASE FITTINGS There are numerous grease fittings on the spreader. The operator should become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a systematic routine to insure complete and quick lubrication of the machine.
