    IMPORTANT The following section contains important information regarding the safety and operation of PTO drive equipment. As our spreaders are sold throughout the world we install a standard length PTO shaft to accommodate multiple types and brands of tractors. Therefore, modification (i.e. shortening) of the shaft may be required to meet the specific needs of your tractor.
  • Page 23 9) Attach the driveline to the tractor PTO and implement PIC. Make sure each end is firmly attached to its respective shaft. Make sure driveline does not bottom out when the implement is fully raised, and that at least 1/3 of the tube is engaged when the implement is at its lowest height.

This allows oil to reach operating temperatures. B) Shut Tractor Hydraulics off and install pressure gauge into “CF” port on flow control valve.
  • Page 70 To avoid damage to Tractor or Chandler Spreader use following procedure when hooking up the hydraulic spinner option to the tractors hydraulic system. Hydraulic System Pumps: Today’s tractors are equipped with either Constant Displacement or Variable Displacement Hydraulic Pumps. Constant Displacement Pumps put out a constant flow regardless of pressure (until the relief valve bypasses the flow).

  • Page 71: Hooking Up Hydraulic Spinner To Tractor Remotes

    Hooking up Hydraulic Spinner Option to Tractor Remotes When hooking up Hydraulic Spinner Option use the following procedure. Connect Pressure Hose to tractor remote using coupler marked for the Lower Position. (Symbol indicates Lower Position) This will turn the spinners in proper direction when lever is in the Lower position. If tractor is equipped with hydraulic motor return option (low pressure return circuit) Connect Return Line here Connect Return Hose to tractor remote using coupler marked for the Raise Position.
  • Page 72 To check spinners for proper rotation use the following procedure. A) Start engine on tractor. B) Start spinners by pushing remote lever forward into the “Lower” position. Check to be sure spinners are turning the proper direction (see drawing page 5) C) If spinners are not turning proper direction switch hoses in remotes.

  • Page 73: Setting Spinner Speed

    Setting Spinner Speed using Hydraulic Spinner Option Proper spinner speed for most common applications of Fertilizer and Lime is 650 RPM. The Flow Control Valve located on the side of the spreader controls this speed. Use the following procedure to set spinner speed: (After reading pervious pages and determining which hydraulic system you are using) A) After hooking up Pressure / Return lines and making sure they are turning in the proper direction.

    Basic Operation of a Pull Type Spreader 1) Make sure that flow control valve is adjusted properly for spinner speed. 2) Raise gate for desired rate of application. 3) Adjust material divider accordingly. 4) Engage Hydraulic Remote/PTO control, once engaged, spinners should begin turning.

  • Page 87: Setting Spinner Speed - Hydraulic Spinners Only

    Setting Spinner Speed – Hydraulic Spinners Only We recommend a spinner speed of 650–725 RPM as this unit is designed for a 50ft. spread pattern for fertilizer and a 30ft. pattern for lime. This spreader is equipped with a flow control valve to adjust spinner speed and to maintain a constant speed after your tractor reaches proper PTO RPM’s.

  • Page 92 Extending the Life of Your Spreader through Proper Maintenance We at Chandler Equipment Co. are pleased that you have selected our equipment. We feel, as we are sure you do, with the high cost of fertilizers, repairs, and parts, that proper maintenance of equipment should be a high priority.
  • Page 93 D) Spinner Motors  Check spinner motor seals daily for leaks. If spinner motor seal is leaking replace immediately. This could cause serious damage to hydraulic system and spinner motor. 8) Material Divider Maintenance A) It is necessary for the material divider and spinners to be clean at all times. B) Where excessive moisture exists it may be necessary to clean the material divider and spinners while in the field to achieve the best possible spread pattern.
  • Page 94 Troubleshooting Procedures The following investigation recommendations are given you to assist in simple repairs. To effectively troubleshoot these areas there are only two (2) special instruments that will probably not be found in a mechanic's tool box - these are - 0-1500 RPM hand tach and a 0-3000 PSI pressure gauge.
  • Page 95 C) Remove retaining ring from flow control valve. 1) With punch and hammer, knock lever spool from valve body. CAUTION - Be sure to mark in some manner top of spool before removing. 2) Clean thoroughly, area of housing from which lever spool was removed. 3) Clean thoroughly the lever spool outer area and blow out all holes with high pressure air hose.
  • Page 96 Problem II: Spinners will not throw material far enough. Recommended Investigation: A) Verify proper spinner speed. B) Check hydraulic pressure relief. (See Problem I – Investigation D) C) Check that spinner blade bolts are tight and properly in place. D) Check that the spinner discs are securely fastened. Problem III: Improper spread pattern.
  • Page 97 Section 10 Spread Pattern...
  • Page 98 Spread Pattern Adjustment We at Chandler Equipment Co. recommend performing a spread pattern pan test prior to each spreading season, after any spreader maintenance or modification, and periodically throughout the spreading season. A spread pattern test must be performed for each product to be applied to insure proper material application.
  • Page 99 Spinner Assembly Spinner speed is adjustable as outlined above, and is a major factor in a proper spread pattern. The best spinner speed will depend on the material being spread, and only obtainable by way of testing. Material properties play an important role in properly adjusting the spinner speed for the maximum spread pattern width.
  • Page 100 Spreader Preparation The spreader to be tested should be properly maintained and in good mechanical working condition in accordance with this manual. All damaged or worn parts should be replaced prior to completing the spread pattern test. Spinner discs, blades, and material divider should be free of any material build-up or rust.

  • Page 103 Data Recording Using the data sheets supplied, document any and all adjustments made to the spreader while conducting the pan test. Using the funnel, transfer the contents of each catch pan into the corresponding test tube for its position. NOTE: It is highly recommended to only make ONE adjustment between each test. If more than one adjustment is made it will hard to determine which adjustment is responsible for the change in spread pattern shape.

  • Page 105 Spread Pattern Troubleshooting Problem Recommended Adjustments Heavy Directly Behind the Tractor 1) Move the material divider towards the back of the spreader. 2) Decrease spinner speed. 3) Check spinner blade condition. Light Directly Behind the Tractor 1) Move the material divider towards the front of the spreader. 2) Increase spinner speed.
