The manual does not provide specific instructions for opening the gearbox if it is stuck in neutral and the gears will not change. However, it does mention that neutral is between each gear and advises always replacing the retaining pin after changing gear. Ensure that the retaining pin is correctly positioned and check for any obstructions or mechanical issues. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician.

  • Page 6 WARNING Never exceed the spreader’s speed rating as this could lead to death or serious injury. Never carry out adjustments or maintenance on machinery while it is in operation, as this could lead to death or serious injury. Never attempt to clear a blockage while the spreader is in operation as this could lead to death or serious injury.

    General 1. Keep the machine as clean as possible. 2. Check wheel nuts daily before use. 3. Check tyre pressures before use (including jockey wheel on gear box). 4. Grease all gear box bearings weekly. IMPORTANT! Push gear selector right in to grease gear shift.

  • Page 8: Setting Spinner Speeds And Rear Deflectors

    Setting Spinner Speeds and Rear Deflectors Spinner Speed is the most important factor in achieving an accurate spread pattern. The spinner speed is adjusted by altering the control on the valve at the front of the machine (shown in Figure 1 below). Guideline spinner speeds for various different materials are given on page 21 Figure 2: Spinner Flow Control Valve When setting spinner speeds ensure the engine of the tractor is running at the same R.P.M.

  • Page 9: Setting The Application Rate

    Setting the Application Rate The application rate of material is controlled by the back door settings and gear selection. Refer to the rate charts in appendix 1 at the back of this manual for guideline settings of the door opening in millimetres and which gear should be selected. Once you have selected your rate from the charts, remove the retaining pins in the door handles and adjust the door so that the top of the door indicator lines up with your selected figure on the chart.

  • Page 16: Chain Adjustment

    Chain Adjustment Chain should be adjusted to spring length of 70 mm. If the chain is too tight it will cause chain to jam when spreading material that will build up in the sprockets, to loose will allow chain to jam under floor and not return, this can damage gear box and rear shaft. IMPORTANT! Check chain after each load for first day while chain is bedding in.
  • Page 17 To get correct spread pattern spreader must be pan tested. Kit descriptions are as follows 1) Agri-spread Tacho (already has magnet on spinner shaft) 2) Rev counter with magnet and sensor mount 3) Plug kit for trailers or trucks with demountable bins.

  • Page 18: Agri-Spread Density Metres

    Agri-spread Density Metres The Agri-spread density metres are a quick and easy way to find out the density of fertiliser even on al load by load basis. Up until now we have only been able to measure cubic density by very accurate scales which are expensive and easily broken. The Agri-spread density metre gives you a robust, light and simple alternative that can even be carried out in the cab.
