5.1.2. Commissioning and running-in Do the following before commissioning the spreader: read and understand the operating instructions in full; assemble the machine in accordance with the intended work; check the tightness of all threaded connections and the tension of chains; supply lubricants at the lubrication points;...
5.3. Load body gate control The load body gate is lifted and lowered hydraulically by the secondary hydraulic system of the tractor. 5.4. Floor conveyor 5.4.1. Hydraulic drive of the floor conveyor The floor conveyor system of the spreader is hydraulically driven by the transmission gearbox powered by the hydraulic motor, which in turn is driven by the pressurised hydraulic oil from the tractor's hydraulic system.

Note: Take extra caution when performing the adjustment. Turn off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key and engage the parking brake of the tractor. 5.5. Adjustment of conveyor chain tension The conveyor chains are adjusted by the stretcher screws (see fig. 4 item 1) located on the stringers of the spreader's top frame.
Fig. 5. Correcting the tensioners setting. 5.6. Spreading adapter The adapter consists of a frame on which four worm drums driven by the telescopic jointed shaft, the drive shafts and the transmission gearbox installed in the adapter frame. The drive is transmitted from the tractor PTO. The adapter frame is connected to the spreader frame by six or eight M14 bolts (depending on version).
The vertical adapters and the attachment must be handled with the use of a lifting device with the minimum capacity of 1200 kg. 5.7. Brakes adjustment 5.7.1. Parking brake adjustment The parking brake is adjusted by setting the initial cable tension by making a loop of a suitable length on both cable ends.
5.8. Adjustment of the land wheels clearance When the new spreader has made the first 100 km and after every next 1000-1500 km of its operation, check the clearance of the land wheel bearings and adjust it if necessary. Fig. 7. Checking the clearance of the land wheel bearings. Check the clearance of the land wheel bearingss as follows: Couple the spreader with the tractor on the lower hitch and engage the tractor parking brake.
Caution! The hydraulic oil must be replaced in accordance with the operating manual of the coupled tractor, but at least every two years. 6.2. Pneumatic system servicing Periodically check the pneumatic system tightness. Thoroughly inspect every connection. Check the leak- tightness of the system at the rated pressure of approx.
6.4. Lubrication Lubrication of the spreader systems in accordance with the lubrication schedule ensures better performance and protects from premature wear. Follow these rules when lubricating: before attempting to lubricate, thoroughly clean all grease nipples and areas around the lubrication points from mud and dust;...
