Page 6: Avoid Accidents
SAFETY AVOID ACCIDENTS Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on the highway, are caused by the failure of an individual to follow simple and fundamental safety rules and precautions. For this reason, most accidents can be prevented by recognizing the real cause and doing something about it before the accident occurs. -
Page 7: Hazards To Avoid
SAFETY HAZARDS TO AVOID: 1. Refrain from wearing loose fitting clothing on or around this piece of machinery. There are many places that loose clothing may become wrapped or pulled into devices. 2. Be aware of any moving parts on this machinery. Make sure that any person or persons on or around this piece of machinery are aware of the dangers as well. -
Page 8: Basics
BASICS INITIAL STARTUP Check over entire unit to be sure all guards and fasteners are in place and fasteners are properly tightened. NOTE: Stand clear of moving machinery. Do not load spreader with material. 1. Check to be sure that no loose parts or other material are in the hopper, on conveyor, or on spinner. -
Page 9: General Operating Procedure
BASICS GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES To operate the spreader, the following sequence should be observed: 1. Be sure the unit has been serviced and is in good operating condition. 2. Disengage the PTO. 3. Fill the body with material to be spread. 4. -
Page 10: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENTS FERTILIZER CALIBRATION General Factors That Affect Spread Patterns: Fertilizer Size and Density The particle size will also determine the maximum spread pattern width. The spread pattern can vary anywhere from 25 ft for powder type materials such as lime or up to 60 ft for fertilizer pellets. - Page 11 ADJUSTMENTS Driving Interval Variations in material being spread will change the swath width of any particular spreader. Diagram B shows the effect of driving interval on the fertilizer distribution across the field. BBI truck mounted spreaders are designed to run on a 30-40 foot swath spreading lime and approximately 60 feet spreading blended fertilizers.
- Page 12 ADJUSTMENTS Slope of Land Spreading fertilizer up or down hill may cause the materials to be placed on a different area of the spinner, thus changing the spread pattern. Spreaders with discharge chutes extending down close to the spinners and having small openings through which fertilizer falls on the fans reduce the variation due to slope.
-
Page 13: How To Check A Spread Pattern
ADJUSTMENTS HOW TO CHECK A SPREAD PATTERN Spread Pattern Test Kit The test kit used for checking spread patterns contains the following items: • 13 plastic pans (14” x 18”) with 5” sides • 13 plastic test tubes with ¾” opening •... - Page 14 ADJUSTMENTS Diagram D Reviewing The Spread Pattern Select the application rate, which is common to your operation. To get a good spread pattern check, 200-400 pounds per acre is adequate. For a single check, 25 pounds of fertilizer per 100 pounds per acre application rate will be needed.
-
Page 15: Effective Swath Width
ADJUSTMENTS EFFECTIVE SWATH WIDTH The effective swath width is the interval that a particular spreader should be driven to obtain uniform application. Driving at an interval other than an effective swath width will result in a non-uniform application (Diagram B). The effective swath width will vary with the type of material being spread and the rate per acre it is applied. -
Page 16: Fine-Tuning Spread Patterns
ADJUSTMENTS FINE-TUNING SPREAD PATTERNS A spreader can have three main adjustments: an adjustable material flow divider, movable spinner blades on some models and the spinner rpm. On standard units, the flow divider is the main control. Keep in mind that adjustable components are all interrelated, which means changing one may cause others to be affected in unexpected ways. -
Page 17: Spinners
ADJUSTMENTS Spread patterns can also be adjusted by moving the point of delivery toward the outer edge of the spinner or into the center. Placement of fertilizer near the outer edge of the spinner will increase the amount of fertilizer deposited behind the spreader. Shifting the point of delivery to the center of the spinner will increase the amount of material thrown to the sides. - Page 18 ADJUSTMENTS Spinner Blades or Fins IMPORTANT! Keep your spinners clean. The smallest amount of build-up, rust, or anything that causes a rough surface will affect the outcome of the spread pattern. The purpose of the spinner blades is to catch the material deposited on the spinner and guide it so the fertilizer is thrown off at the proper angle.
-
Page 19: Troubleshooting
ADJUSTMENTS Troubleshooting Here are some common results of spread pattern tests and how to correct them. Pattern 1: Two heavy swaths located directly behind the spinners; material is seen blowing over the tops of the spinners. Cause: Spinner speed too fast, material blows over the tops of the spinners and falls to the ground directly behind the unit. -
Page 20: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE IT PAYS! The handling and spreading of commercial fertilizers is very corrosive on the metal parts of your spreader due to the chemical agents in the material. Without an established preventative maintenance program, your spreader will decay in a relatively short time. If the cleaning, lubrication, and maintenance recommendations that we provide are followed, your spreader will have a much longer life, more satisfactory service, and overall costs will be lower. - Page 21 MAINTENANCE Conveyor chain tension is also a factor in chain and sprocket life. The proper chain tension is illustrated below. Be sure the chain is tensioned equally on both sides. This adjustment is made on each side of the unit at the idler bearings located at the front of the unit. Chains that are too tight will tend to stretch, causing excess sprocket wear and eventually breakage.

Page 22: Lubrication
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION All bearings are prelubricated with grease. The grease in a bearing acts to prevent excessive wear of parts, protects ball races and balls from corrosion and aids in preventing excessive heat within the bearing. This is even more critical when used in dusty or moist conditions. -
Page 23: Cleanup
MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION GUIDE Frequently lubricate all bearings and other grease points to extend the life of the components. When lubricating, it is important to also inspect the components to ensure satisfactory operation. The required interval of relubricating will depend on the operating environment. Conditions such as dust, moisture, speed, and temperature will affect how often to relubricate. -

Page 31: Magna Spread Option
APPENDIX Magna Spread The Magna Spread option for BBI fertilizer/lime spreaders allows for a wider spread swath at a consistent rate. The option includes either four adjustable 9” or 7-1/2” fins per spinner dish in lieu of the standard six nonadjustable 6” inch fins per spinner. The Magna Spread option also includes a material flow divider specifically designed for the longer fins. - Page 32 APPENDIX Material Flow Divider The Magna Spread flow divider guides the material onto the spinners to optimize the particular fin designs. The flow divider settings are similar to standard BBI spreaders and are adjusted in the same fashion. An insert for the flow divider is used when spreading fertilizer.
