SET-UP & ASSEMBLY WARNING: Some photographs used in the following pages show guards or shields removed for clarification. Never operate machine until these guards or shields are in proper operating position. NOTE: Determine right or left side of the Manure Spreader by viewing it from the rear. If instructions or parts lists call for hardened bolts, refer to the Cap Screw Torque Value page to identify.
TRANSPORTING TRANSPORT LIGHTING & REFLECTORS Transport lighting with a 7-pin plug is standard equipment on all Top Shot Models. The 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.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION PREPARING TOP SHOT Properly lubricate the Top Shot, check automatic oiler level and fill if necessary before operating. Refer to Lubrication Section of this Operator’s Manual for locations. Before loading material, adjust the hitch clevis to your tractor in order to obtain a level or forward position of the Top Shot tank.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION TRACTION CONNECTIONS Tractor Hitch 1. The hitch of the Top Shot is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the drawbar so that it is 13 to 17 inches above the ground. 2. Extend or shorten it so that the horizontal distance from the end of the tractor power takeoff shaft to the center of the hitch pin hole is 14 inches for 540 RPM PTO and 15-3/4”...

PREPARING FOR OPERATION The Top Shot is equipped with a constant velocity telescoping PTO drive shaft. This constant velocity capability results in a smooth, quiet running drive line without power fluctuation. The Top Shot can only be properly hooked up to a tractor which has PTO and hitch dimensions conforming to ASAE Standard S203.
OPERATION EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN In case a foreign object becomes lodged in the expeller or auger area, disengage the PTO. Stop the tractor engine, remove ignition key, and allow all mechanisms to stop before cleaning or working on the machine. If an object is lodged inside the tank, block-up the discharge gate and raise the conveyor auger before attempting to remove the object.
Page 23
OPERATION APPLICATION RATE The side discharge style Top Shot features a hydraulically operated discharge gate to control the material flow out of the tank and into the expeller. Several factors influence the rate of discharge and the spread pattern. These factors include: ground speed, type or consistency of discharge material, PTO RPM, and discharge gate opening.
Page 24
OPERATION UNLOADING & SPREADING Packed Material To unload and spread packed material and prevent unnecessary stress on the drive line components, observe the following guidelines: 1. Make sure the auger is completely lowered. 2. Engage the tractor PTO at as low an RPM as possible. Then, slowly bring the PTO up to the rated RPM.

OPERATION CONTROLS & SAFETY EQUIPMENT Top Shots are provided with several features for operator safety and convenience. GUARDS & SHIELDS Whenever possible and without affecting the operation of the Top Shot, guards, shields and/or hinged shields have been used on this equipment to protect potentially hazardous areas. In many places, decals are also provided to warn of potential dangers as well as to display special operation procedures.

OPERATION JACK A jack is furnished with the Top Shot to support the machine when the tractor is disconnected and to adjust the hitch clevis to the tractor drawbar for hookup. The jack should never be used to support a loaded Top Shot. When the jack is not being used to support the Top Shot, it should be relocated to the...
ADJUSTMENTS DRIVE CHAIN IDLERS Expeller Drive Chain Idler The expeller drive chain is tensioned with an adjustable sprocket Idler. The chain is properly tensioned when the chain can be deflected 1/2” to 3/4” (13-19 mm) with hand pressure. NOTE: If an Idler fails to maintain proper tension, replace the worn chain.
Page 29
ADJUSTMENTS FRONT & REAR AUGER SLIDES The front and rear auger slide assemblies are retained by adjustment plates with diagonal slots. To adjust, loosen retaining hardware and drive the plates downward with a hammer until the slide assembly is snug against the tank, then retighten the retaining hardware.
SERVICE EXPELLER Periodically inspect the expeller teeth for wear or damage. Damaged, broken, or missing expeller teeth will cause excessive machine vibration. Consult with your local H&S dealer for additional ordering information. AUGER & EXPELLER SPEED OPTIONS The expeller input drive sprocket can be changed by raising the auger and then removing the indicated sprocket which is retained by a snap ring and set screws.

The 5220 Top Shot can be ordered from the factory with an optional 1000 RPM drive. 540 RPM PTO DRIVE The 5226 Top Shot can be ordered from the factory with an optional 540 RPM drive. AUGER SPEED OPTIONS Several different drive sprockets are available to change auger speeds to various spreading needs.
LUBRICATION Become familiar with all lubrication points and establish a routine to ensure complete lubrication of the Top Shot. GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Catch and dispose of fluid per local waste disposal regulations whenever service is performed on hydraulic components, valves, cylinders, hoses, etc. PTO ASSEMBLY Keep the male and female shafts of the PTO well-lubricated and free-sliding.
Page 34
LUBRICATION DRIVE CHAINS The drive chains are lubricated by a automatic chain oiler. Any time that the discharge door is raised, a specified amount of oil is sent to the brushes on each of the chains. The oiler is adjustable to set the amount that is being discharged.
Page 35
LUBRICATION GREASING There are numerous grease fittings on the Top Shot. Lubricating properly and often with a high-quality grease will prolong the life of the spreader. Replace any missing or plugged grease fittings. Wipe dirt from the fittings before greasing to prevent the dirt from being forced into the bearing or pivot. Grease should come out around the shaft on sleeve type bearings.
