Note:
You may have to experiment until you
get the desired flow and spread depth. Other
variables include ground speed and the type of
material. Different materials vary in particle size,
which can vary the spread pattern.
Always test new materials by spreading them in
an open area away from people.
4.
Start the engine of the traction unit and turn on
the traction unit hydraulics.
5.
On the SH model turn on the on/off pendant
switch to start spreading. On the EH model turn
on the option then the conveyor belt with the
handheld remote.
6.
On the SH model turn off the on/off pendant
switch to stop spreading—the option attachment
continues to operate. On the EH model turn off
the conveyor belt and then the attachment.
7.
For EH models you can use the A
function in place of the O
S
functions as a single operation start
TART
feature. The attachment will start first, followed
by the belt.
8.
When the machine is empty, turn off the
hydraulics before transporting the machine.
Note:
When driving over uneven terrain, raise
the machine to the maximum safe traveling
range. This provides more ground clearance for
the optional attachment.
WARNING
The optional attachment may be able
throw material at high speeds up to 12 m
(40 ft), and injure bystanders.
Watch for people and other objects while
spreading.
Important:
While traveling but not
spreading, raise the machine to the
maximum safe traveling distance, and turn
off the option attachments.

Disconnecting the Machine
from the Traction Unit
1.
Park the machine on dry, level ground; engage
the parking brake on the traction unit; shut off
the engine and remove the key.
2.
Chock front and back of the tires of the machine.
3.
Relieve the pressure from the hydraulic system.
4.
Disconnect the 2 hydraulic hoses and the 7-pin
coiled power cable from the traction unit; refer
to
Figure 21
in
Traction Unit (page
Coil and store the hoses and cable on the front
of the machine.
5.
On SH models, disconnect and remove the
control pendant for dry storage. On EH models,
store the handheld remote in a dry safe place.
Ensure that you have pressed the E-S
in.
6.
Rotate the rear-jack leg to the vertical position;
refer to
Supporting the Machine with the
Rear-Jack Leg (page
Important:
Always use the rear jack leg
when disconnecting the machine from a
traction unit.
7.
Assemble the jack as follows:
•
If the weight of the tongue is forced up into
the hitch of the tow vehicle (negative tongue
weight), assemble the jack to the rear jack
leg; refer to
Rear-Jack Leg (page
•
If the weight of the tongue is forced down
onto the hitch of the tow vehicle (positive
tongue weight), rotate the jack vertical at the
hitch tube; refer to
the Machine with the Jack (page
8.
Lift the machine with the jack until the machine
is fully supported with the jack, and remove the
hitch pin.
9.
Ensure that there is no further connection
