Safety Decals WARNING! • DO NOT ADJUST UNTIL SPINNERS STOP MOVING • STAY OUT OF BOX WHILE CONVEYOR IS IN MOTION • DO NOT RIDE ON SPREADER WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION • STAY CLEAR OF SPINNERS WHILE SPINNERS ARE IN MOTION THINK SAFETY! S - 3...
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.

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.

Basic Operation of a Pull Type Spreader 1) Make sure that PTO shaft and/or hydraulic hoses are connected properly. 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 45
Setting Material Divider Material Divider settings are very important to the accuracy of the spread pattern. Improper divider settings will cause light or heavy streaks in the field. Material Divider should be set following these guidelines: 1) Material Divider has an adjustment rod at the rear of the divider. Moving the divider “IN”...

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 49
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.

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.

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.

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 54
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 55
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 56
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 59
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.

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.
