Set-Up & Assembly; Transporting - H&S 3243 Operator's Manual

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. Attach the wheels with tires, using the lug nuts furnished and torque the mounting hardware to
the appropriate torque. Wheel bolts should be tightened at 100 ft./lbs. of torque
2. Check the tires and inflate to the recommended pressure
(295/75RX22.5 tires to 75 to 80 psi. - 16.5 x 16.1 tires to 36 psi.)
3. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened.
4. Securely retighten after a few hours of operation, as bolts can loosen up on new machinery.
5. Lubricate the machine completely, check the oil level of the gearbox, fill if necessary.
REFLECTORS/SMV
There is a holder provided for your SMV sign. Unless
otherwise prohibited, use a slow-moving vehicle emblem.
Never tow the manure spreader on a public highway at a
speed greater than 20 mph (32 kph). Regularly clean the
reflective tape at the rear of the spreader.
LIGHTING (Optional)
When transporting on the highway, connect the spreader to
the tractor with a lighting power cord. The optional lighting
system is to be connected to the 7-pin power receptacle (per
SAEJ560B) on your tractor. If your tractor is not equipped
with the proper receptacle, see your tractor dealer for details.
Make sure lights are functioning properly.
SAFETY CHAIN (Optional)
Follow state and local regulations regarding use of a safety chain and transport lighting when towing
farm equipment on public highways. A proper safety chain should be used to retain the safety connection
between the towing and towed machines, in the event of separation of the primary attaching system.
Check with local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Never tow the manure
spreader on a public highway at a speed greater than 20 mph (32 kph).
1. Chain is sufficiently slack to allow turns and movements of either the tractor or the manure spreader
without placing tension on the chain.
2. Chain is of sufficient strength to hold the decoupled implement (and its load) and tow it to the
shoulder.
