Caution MOST FARM IMPLEMENT ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED BY THE OBSERVANCE OF A FEW SIMPLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. 1. DO NOT CLEAN, LUBRICATE OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ON THE SPREADER WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. 2. DO NOT START THE SPREADER UNTIL YOU KNOW EVERYONE IS CLEAR OF THE MACHINE AND HAVE MADE SURE NO TOOLS ARE LYING ON THE MACHINE. -
Page 6: Before Use
Before Using The New Machine Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure all bolts are tightened securely. RETIGHTEN THE BOLTS AFTER A FEW HOURS OF OPERATION. Torque the wheel bolts to 120 ft. lbs. Recheck the bolts after every other load until the torque does not decrease and every 300 loads there after. -
Page 7: Operation
Operation GENERAL INFORMATION On Pequea Machine, Inc. equipment, left and right are determined by standing behind the unit, looking in the direction of travel. CAUTION: NEVER USE TOO SMALL A TRACTOR. A SMALL TRACTOR MAY BE ABLE TO PULL THE UNIT, BUT THE TRACTOR WOULD NOT BE HEAVY ENOUGH FOR ADEQUATE TRACTION AND BRAKING TO CONTROL THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAVY SPREADER ON HILLS AND FOR STEERING. - Page 8 Operation Cont. Figure 8-1 Figure 8-2 ATTACHING TO THE TRACTOR Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a 3/4" diameter hitch pin that cannot bounce out, Figure 8-1. CAUTION: DAMAGE TO THE SPREADER OR OTHER VEHICLE, AS WELL AS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR, MAY OCCUR IF A CORRECT PIN IN NOT USED.

Page 9: Loading
Loading Figure 9-1 Figure 9-2 In freezing weather, make certain the apron chain is not frozen to the spreader floor or web slides, Figure 9-2, 9-3. Make sure there are no lumps of manure frozen to the floor. IMPORTANT: In freezing weather, coating the sides of the spreader with diesel fuel makes it easier to clean off. Using diesel fuel on all sliding and pivoting points helps keep them free and working properly. -
Page 10: Before Loading
Before Loading - Be sure to grease all moving parts (refer to lube section). - Oil the chain and remove any standing manure or debris. The rate of application can be further controlled by selecting the appropriate gear of the tractor to regulate ground speed. -
Page 11: Feed Control Positions
Feed Control Positions Figure 10-1 Mechanical Drive The four Speed control positions are shown in Figure10-1 – Low speed: The apron is moving slowly for normal application of manure, the beater is engaged. – Neutral: Apron is disengaged. Beater is engaged. –... - Page 12 Feed Control Positions Cont. ATTENTION: Operating at over-speed will shorten the life of the spreader. The rate of application can be further controlled by selecting the appropriate gear of the tractor to regulate ground speed. Note that an almost unlimited choice of spreading rates is made possible by various combinations of ground speed and apron speed.
- Page 13 Feed Control Position Cont. Unloading Relatively dry loads as a rule unload in an even distribution with very little material being thrown forward. The excep- tion to this is when the load is almost completely spread. While there is actually less than a yard of material left, clear- ing the bed can be a nuisance with some of the matter being thrown forward onto the operator.

Page 14: Lubrication
Lubrication Figure 13-1 Figure 13-2 CAUTION: ALWAYS STOP THE MACHINE TO LUBRICATE OR TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. The Model 125, 175, & 250 spreaders are designed to require a minimum of lubrication. However, the importance of sufficient and proper lubrication cannot be over-emphasized as it is the best insurance against unnecessary repairs and greatly increases the life of the machine. - Page 15 Lubrication Cont.

Page 18: Maintenance
Maintenance CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR ADJUST THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS RUNNING. Gearbox Drive Chains When the gearbox drive chains are properly tensioned, they should deflect 1/2" from a straight line mid-way between the sprockets. The chains are tightened with the chains tighteners, (A), Figure 17-1. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE CHAINS. - Page 19 Maintenance Cont. Figure 18-1 Figure 18-2 Apron Periodically inspect the apron for bent or damaged slats. Always straighten or replace any bent or damaged slats immediately. NOTE: Tighten the adjusting bolts equally on each side so the apron slats run parallel with the apron drive shaft.
- Page 20 Maintenance Cont. Note: the belt tension should be checked and adjusted after the first 10 to 15 loads, due to the effect of initial belt stretch and wearing of paint from the sheave grooves. Thereafter, it should be checked every 300 loads. IMPORTANT: Tightening the belt excessively may result in damage to the spreader and may cause premature belt fail- ure.
- Page 21 Maintenance Cont. Figure 20-1 Figure 20-2 Wheel Bearings Adjust wheel hub bearings after 100 loads and once each season thereafter. Jack up the spreader to remove the weight from the wheel(s). Remove hub cap and cotter pin. Clean and Pack the bearings with new grease. Use Lithium EP #2 grease.
- Page 22 Maintenance Cont. PTO Assembly As pointed out in the “Lubrication” section, care must be taken to keep the driving elements well lubricated and free sliding. Failure to observe this precaution will result in excessive force being required to collapse or extend the assembly while subjected to operating torque.
