Before First Use; Vehicle Size; Attaching To Tow Vehicle - abi 3H Setup Manual

OPERATION:

Before First Use -

Equip the spreader with an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem if it will be
transported on public road.
Do not operate the spreader until the safety precautions in this manual and the
decals on the spreader have been read and understood by the operator.
Check & fill hydraulic fluid levels in the tractor to ensure it is filled to the
tractor manufacturer's recommendations. This equipment will take a small
amount of hydraulic fluid out of the tractors reservoir. You may need to
replenish some hydraulic fluid to the tractor after setup.

Vehicle Size -

Just because a small tractor may be able to pull a loaded spreader it may not be
heavy enough to safely operate on hills. Always use a tractor that is heavier
than the loaded spreader when operating on inclines to provide sufficient
traction and braking

Attaching to Tow Vehicle -

After you have completed the "Unpacking & Setup" instructions beginning on
page 7, it is now time to attach the Elite Hydraulic Spreader™ to your tractor
and prepare it for use.
1.
Open and remove the safety lynch
pin then remove hitch pin from
the hitch.
2.
With caution, backup the tractor
to the spreader trying to align the
drawbar with the hitch. Turn off
tractor and use the crank jack to
raise or lower the hitch point to
match the drawbar height.
