SET-UP & ASSEMBLY Note: Determine right and left side of spreader by viewing it from the rear. If instructions or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to Cap Screw Torque Values page to identify. PREPARING MANURE SPREADER The Manure Spreader may be shipped without the wheels/tires installed. 1.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION TRACTOR CONNECTIONS Tractor Hitch 15-3/4” for 1000 RPM Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin with a safety locking device. Remove the weight from the jack (jack is not to be used when spreader is loaded). Remove jack from pipe mount and place on convenient storage mount located on the top of left hitch channel.
OPERATION EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN If a foreign object becomes lodged in the beater area and shears the shear bolt, disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the spreader. WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or shields removed for clarification.
OPERATION SPREADING - WITH OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC DRIVE Engage tractor PTO shaft slowly. Beater is always in the engaged position, therefore, engaging tractor PTO will automatically start beater. Raise the hydraulic tailgate. Open hydraulic valve on tractor connected to speed control valve on Manure Spreader. Control speed of apron by turning speed control handle clockwise to increase speed, counter-clockwise to decrease speed.

ADJUSTMENTS TWO SPEED CLUTCH If clutch control yoke becomes worn, it may be necessary to adjust the high speed clutch so it engages and disengages completely. Adjustment to compensate for this wear is made by sliding spring stop (A) on the control rod closer to the clutch engaging lever.
Page 22
ADJUSTMENTS APRON 1. Adjust the apron by loosening the mounting bolts on the chain slides on the outside of the frame. Mounting bolts shown in the drawing. 2. Tighten the adjusting bolts until the apron chain clears the underside of the axle by 1 inch. 3.
SERVICE SHEAR BOLTS - Main Drive Shields Removed for Clarity The beater and the apron drive are protected by one shear bolt located on the front end of the side drive shaft (left side of spreader). Two spare shear bolts are provided. Shearing of the bolts is normally due to foreign objects in the manure or starting the spreader PTO too quickly with high tractor RPMs.
The optional cylinder is located on right hand side of spreader. The kit includes a cylinder, brace, hoses, and connectors to attach to existing cylinder. NOTE: DOUBLE CYLINDER FOR HYDRAULIC ENDGATE IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE 3237 & 3243. -24-...
