that the engine of the tractor is switched off and that

the driveshaft is disconnected !

4. During operation, all protective devices must be

mounted (use original parts only).

5. Check all screws and safety elements on a regular

basis (this applies particularly following the initial hours

of operation).

6. During operation, no persons are permitted to be

present on the manure spreader, and especially not

on the scraper floor or in the immediate vicinity of the

spreading mechanism !

7. The cleaning and lubrication of the machine is only

permitted to be performed when the driveshaft is

disconnected.

8. Please verify whether the power-take-off rotary speed

and the turning direction of the tractor correspond with

that of the spreader.

9. Only use driveshafts with original and soundly

functioning protective devices. Using chains,

secure the protective tube of the driveshaft against

rotating.

10. When driving on public roads, the provisions of the

relevant traffic regulations are applicable in accordance

with the statutes of the relevant country.

11. During operation, the user is obliged to make sure

that the possibility of personal or material damage is

ruled out.

12. Servicing work and repairs are only permitted to be

carried out by suitably trained personnel.

13. CAUTION ! The carrying wheel is only suitable for

supporting the spreader and must not be used when

driving.

14. Regularly check the tyres, the air pressure and that

the wheel nuts are positioned correctly.

15. Where an electric lighting unit is being used, it must

be verified by means of a short light test that it is

functioning soundly.

16. Prior to operation, it is vital to check that the spreading

mechanism is attached properly.

17. Where a spreading-mechanism protection is being

used, it must be checked before operation.

18. It is very strictly forbidden to transport persons on the

device while it is operating.

19. When connecting, please make sure that the spreader

is connected in accordance with the instructions and

that the trailer bolt is secured.

20. Prior to operating it, check the braking capability of

the machine.

21. It must be ensured that no persons are situated between

the tractor and the spreader without the vehicle being

secured against rolling away.

22. In the course of cleaning work, repairs and when the

scraper floor is stood on, the engine of the tractor must

be switched off and the driveshaft disconnected.

23. If the spreading mechanism becomes blocked during

the spreading process, then the advancing mechanism

of the scraper floor must be switched off immediately.

Switch off the engine of the tractor and disconnect the

driveshaft. After that, remove grit and foreign matter

from the spreader cylinders.

24. Please make sure that the manoeuvrability of the tractor

cannot be affected by the loading of the spreader.

Furthermore, it is possible that the equilibrium of the

spreader can be impacted if it is partially loaded. For

this reason, it should be driven with caution.

Important instructions and remarks:

- Do not drive tight curves when the power-take-off is

switched on!

- Always drive with a driveshaft having a shearing

safety mechanism and the stipulated shearing pin

! Otherwise the spreading mechanism or the drive

might get damaged. In such cases, a warranty liability

cannot be assumed by the manufacturer !

- When spreading, always start with the minimum speed

of the scraper-floor advancing mechanism !

- Before switching on the scraper-floor advancing

mechanism, open the hydraulic back-plate (special

equipment) !

- The advancing mechanism should never be adjusted

when at a standstill! (Start spreading with advancing

mechanism 0 - stop spreading with advancing

mechanism 0)

0400_GB-SICHERHEIT_671

SAFETY GB

Basic rules for safety

Always use the driveshaft with its accident-protection

mechanism and always use a driveshaft of a design

suitable to the machine.

Before operating the machines, please ensure that the

driveshaft is properly attached to the machine and the

tractor.

Do not go into the working area of the driveshaft. Contact

with rotary parts can cause serious accidents.

Switch off the engine and remove the key before carrying

out servicing work. Use original spare parts only.

Check that the accident-protection, and in particular the

solid support chain, is functioning in line with requirements

and for the most extreme of operating conditions. Replace

possibly damaged parts immediately.

Length: Check the length of the driveshaft for the minimum

and maximum operating conditions. The profile-tube

covering must be at least 1 / 3 of the relevant length.

Operating curves: Please work with small and uniform

curvature (max. 35 degrees). Switch off the power-take-

off for operations in which the non-homo-kinetic joints

operate with a high curvature (drive in the steering, raise

the centre of rotation etc.).

Connections: Check that the driveshaft is correctly

attached to the power-take-offs. Check the starting torque

of the pins.

Service life: Protect the driveshaft from weather effects.

When commencing operation again, the operability of the

driveshaft must be checked and it must be lubricated in

accordance with the lubrication plan.

Hitching to the tractor

* Prior to hitching, the spreader must be secured

against rolling way by means of a blocking wedge or

the parking brake.

* The hitch of the manure spreader must be set in such

a way that the machine is in as horizontal a position

as possible. Above all in the case of spreaders having

a tandem axle, this must be ensured that the tandem

unit cannot swing out to both sides when the ground

is uneven (see Figure 1).

Caution !

A danger of injury exists in the area of the

shaft on account of crushing points. For this

reason, special caution must be exercised

when hitching!

* If stipulated, the trailer safety rope must be attached

to the trailer coupler.

* After the hitching of the carrying wheel, crank it up to

its uppermost limit and raise it using your foot (see

Figure 2).

* If the spreader is fitted with a hydraulic support leg,

connect the hydraulic lead (paying attention to the

tractor’s operating manual) and drive the support leg

to its upper limit stop. After that, remove the safety pin

(position 1) and fold in the lower part of the support

leg (position 2). Before switching off, the lower part

of the support leg must be folded down and again

secured with the safety pin ! (See Figure 3)

* If the spreader is fitted with a compressed-air or oil-

hydraulic brake, connect the connection leads to the

tractor in accordance with the instructions (which can

be found in the tractor’s operating manual).

Caution !

It is absolutely essential to pre-connect

a load-adjustment valve of the hydraulic

braking lead. This valve is integrated in

most tractors as a standard feature (you can

find more details in the tractor’s operating

manual). If no valve is present on the tractor,

then a valve must be built into the braking

lead on the manure spreader.

* In conclusion, connect the hydraulic leads (forward and

back lead) of the scraper-floor advancing mechanism

to the tractor (paying attention to tractor’s operating

manual).

SPREADING TABLE GB

Calculations specific to spreading tables

The values specified in the spreading tables are typical

values which can vary in practice from the listed quantities.

The tables are calculated uniformly for a spreading width

of 6 metres and a grit weight of 700 kg/m3.

The following calculation examples are intended for

obtaining a typical value in the case of abnormal conditions

of use (e.g. use of spreading mechanisms having wide

MAINTENANCE GB

Checking the braking impact

- Check the functional compliance of the brakes by

means of a braking test.

- If the brake pads are too worn-out to achieve an

adequate braking impact, then the braking blocks must

be realigned. That takes place by repositioning the

turnbuckles or the clasp nuts. In the process, it must

be ensured that when the brake is applied, a sufficient

adjustment distance on the braking lever is still free.

- If the adjustment distance on the braking lever is no

longer adequate, then the position of the levers on the

axle must be corrected with the aid of the serration (see

Figure 4).

- Check the brake blocks from time to time in order to

ascertain the state of wearing of the brake pad.

Tyres and tyre pressure

Caution! Following the initial hours of

operation, retighten the wheel nuts and

check them regularly !

- It is only permitted to perform wheel changes when

the spreader is connected to the tractor. The tractor

and the spreader must be secured against rolling away

(blocking wedge, parking brake).

- The air pressure must be checked on a regular basis.

Under no circumstances is the air pressure permitted

to be greater than the permissible tyre pressure.

Lighting unit

- Connect the cable connector to the socket outlet of

the tractor (paying attention to the tractor’s operating

manual) and, by means of a short light test, check that

it is working.

MAINTENANCE GB

Driveshaft

- Only use the driveshaft supplied. If you use a different

driveshaft, that will invalidate the warranty.

- Please ensure that the coupling pins on the power-

take-off snap in completely and that the coupler is

thus fixated.

- Check the length of the driveshaft as to whether:

1. the tube is still sufficiently covered at the longest

position of the driveshaft.

2. the driveshaft is still telescopic at the shortest

position of the driveshaft (travelling a curve). If

necessary, length corrections must be performed

(see supplementary sheet).

- The standard driveshafts supplied have a shearing

safety mechanism against overloading. Check whether

the nut of the shearing pin is fixed properly. Reserve

shearing pins are included with every spreader and are

located in the moulded tube of the setting lever of the

advancing mechanism or in the moulded tube of the

flow distributor console. The shearing safety mechanism

safeguards the drive components from fracture or

damage. In particular, it takes effect if the spreading

mechanism jams abruptly on account of foreign matter

which may be contained in the manure.

- After hitching the driveshaft, fix the support chain of

the driveshaft on the protective lid or on the shaft so

that the protective tube of the driveshaft is prevented

from rotating as well (see Figure 6).

Re-tensioning the scraper-floor chain

- If the scraper-floor chain is correctly tensioned, it should

be possible to raise each individual strand of the chain

by hand by approximately 20 mm.

- The re-tensioning of the scraper floor chains is effected

by the tensioning screw (1) located on the front frame

with each strand of the chain fitted with one screw (see

Figure 6).

- Please ensure that all the chain strands have equal

tensioning.

- If, after a longer period of utilisation, the re-tensioning

distance of the chains is no longer adequate, then two

chain links (one standing link and one lying link) must

be removed and the fastening link re-mounted.

MAINTENANCE GB

Test run and commissioning

- Before the test run, it must be ensured that all screws,

fasteners and safety elements are fixed rigidly.

Furthermore, all protective mechanisms must be

mounted in accordance with the instructions.

- With the aid of the flow distributor, allow the speed of

the scraper floor run from “0” to the maximum speed

and check that the turning direction is correct. In

the case of the hydraulic advancing mechanism, the

forward and back run is switched by a control device. If

a control device is not present on the tractor, a control

device must be installed on the hydraulic advancing

mechanism on the spreader. Verify that the leads are

connected correctly and that the flow distributor is

functioning properly.

Connecting: (See schematic)

Before commissioning / operation, in the case of all variants,

two hydraulic leads must be connected to the tractor

(paying attention to the tractor’s operating manual).

Configuration variant A: Hydraulic scraper floor drive

with current divider

Forward lead (V): Lead from the tractor to the current

divider - from current divider on to the

oil engine

Back lead (R): Lead from oil engine back to the

tractor

Configuration variant B: Hydraulic scraper floor drive

with current divider and

control device

Forward lead (V): Lead from the tractor to the current

divider - from the current divider to

the control device - from the control

device on to the oil engine

Back lead (R): Lead to the oil engine to the control

device - from the control device back

to the tractor

Before commissioning, it must be ensured that the current

divider (flow distributor) is set to “0” and the control device

is set to the middle setting!

When the spreading process starts, perform the

following actions in the specified order:

1. Switch on the power-take-off

2. Open the hydraulic back-plate or open the hydraulic

protective cover (if fitted)

3. After the rotary speed is reached, switch on the

advancing mechanism with the control device (before

operation, check the forward and back positions !)

4. Set the speed of the advancing mechanism with the

current divider

Caution!

All mounting ope-

rations are only

permitted to be

carried out when

the spreader is

at an absolute

standstill and

when the drives-

haft is discon-

nected! After

mounting work is

finished, fixate all

screws and safety

elements !

MAINTENANCE GB

Loading the spreader

* The spreader should be loaded as evenly possible in

order to achieve an optimum spreading pattern. Large

intermediate gaps in the load will make themselves

apparent as intermediate gaps in the spreading

pattern.

* The loading height must not exceed the passageway

height of the spreading mechanism !

* If possible, when loading, the spreading teeth should

be kept free from the load.

* In order to prevent damage, it should be ensured that

no larger solid materials such as stones or other foreign

matter are contained in the load!

Spreading process on the field

* Before you start spreading, fold up the spreader cylinder

protection (if this is fitted or stipulated) !

* Please make sure without fail that the spray-protection

grate is attached to the front side board! This protects

the tractor’s driver from injuries and the tractor from

damage from pieces of manure or other solid materials,

such as e.g. stones, which are thrown to the front.

Caution! During the spreading process, no

persons are permitted to be situated on the

spreader or in the immediate spreading

area !

* Because, when loading the manure spreader, it is not

always possible to keep the spreader cylinders free

from the load, in most cases, the motionless spreading

teeth project into the load. For this reason, when you

start spreading, in order to prevent potential damage

to the spreading mechanism, gearbox and drive when

switching on the power-take-off, on the loading platform

(when the scraper-floor advancing mechanism is

switched off), the spreader cylinders should run slowly

for a few revolutions by switching on the power-take-off

with a low rotary speed so that the spreading teeth are

immediately kept free from the load.

* At the start of spreading, in order to obtain a well-

distributed spreading pattern, after that, still on

the loading platform, the power take-off should be

accelerated to the full rotary speed of 540 r.p.m. / 1000

r.p.m. and the scraper-floor advancing mechanism

should be switched on. After that, on the loading

platform, continue spreading until a sufficient of the

load reaches the spreader cylinders. At this point,

switch to the appropriate gear and begin the spreading

process.

* In order to achieve an optimum spreading pattern, it is

essential to always run the power-take-off with a rotary

speed of 540 r.p.m.

* While driving, the spreading density can be adjusted

with the flow distributor.

* The spreading density depends on the setting of the

advancing mechanism, on the driving speed and on

the load of the spreader.

- A high speed and a lower advance will result in a

low spreading density.

- A low speed and a higher advance will result in a

high spreading density.

* When turning around at the end of field, switch off

the power-take-off so as to help to preserve the

driveshaft and to continue obtaining an even spreading

pattern.

* If, during the spreading process, the overload safety

mechanism of the driveshaft is activated and the

shearing pin breaks due to overloading, then the

shearing pin must be replaced. However, it is first vital

to switch off the power-take-off and the engine of the

tractor! In most cases, the cause of the breakage is

a jam of the spreading mechanism caused by stones

or other foreign matter. If that is the case, then this

foreign matter must first be removed and after that the

shearing pin upgraded. For this reason, it is advisable

to always bring reserve shearing pins along!

Switching off the spreader

* Activate the spindle brake, detach the blocking wedge

and place it under the spreader.

* Disconnect hydraulic tubes, compressed tubes and

light cables.

* Disconnect the driveshaft from the tractor and hang

it up using the support chain which is attached to the

drawbar.

* Detach the carrying wheel and crank it downwards until

the hitch of the spreader lifts off the trailer coupler of

the tractor. Switching off the spreader with hydraulic

support leg - see Section 1.

* Finally, loosen the trailer coupler.

Cleaning instructions

- Where possible, clean the spreader each time after

using it

- In the initial months, only wash with cold water. Do

not use high-pressure or steam-jet equipment! After

3 months, the maximum water temperature is 60

degrees C. Do not use corrosive cleaning compounds.

The minimum separation distance between the spray

nozzles and the vehicle is 50 cm!

Other servicing work

* Check the hydraulic tubes and couplers regularly for

damage or contamination.

* Check the lighting unit and the light cable for

damage.

* Check regularly that the brakes, the ropes, the braking

levers and other braking mechanisms are functioning

and, if need be, readjust the brakes (see section

“Checking the braking impact”)

* Check at regular intervals that all screws and safety

elements are positioned correctly and rigidly.

* Each time after use, check the spreading teeth for

damage. If the spreading teeth are worn out, then they

can be reused by simply flipping them over to their

opposite side.

Caution! Always change all spreading

teeth at the same time because otherwise

the spreading mechanism will run in an

unbalanced manner. If the spreading teeth

are worn out on both sides, in order to

obtain a precise spreading pattern, they

should be replaced with new ones. If the

spreader cylinders are de-mounted in the

course of servicing work, then the position

of the spreader cylinders with respect to

one another must be retained exactly (see

Figure 8) when they are re-mounted.

Universal spreader

By contrast to manure spreaders (spreading mechanism

with 4 upright milling rollers), universal spreaders are

equipped with a C spreading mechanism (wide spreading

mechanism). The C spreading mechanism consists of two

lying mill-spreader cylinders and one fixedly mounted

protective cover. Optionally, spreading can be effected by

means of 4 spreading vanes or by 2 spreading plates.

If the universal spreader is fitted with a hydraulic jam

wall, then the hydraulic leads must be connected to the

tractor (adhere to the tractor’s operating manual!). The jam

wall can be opened and closed from the tractor using a

control device.

The commissioning of the universal spreader is the same

as for the normal manure spreader (please adhere to the

above operating manual).

Caution! Prior to loading, the hydraulic jam

wall must be closed in order to prevent the

load from running out.

Before you start spreading

1. Switch on the power-take-off

2. Open the jam wall

3. After reaching the rotary speed, switch on the advancing

mechanism

The milling rollers distribute the grit onto the wide spreading

mechanism which ensures exact and even distribution.

Servicing

Please make sure that the spreading vanes and spreading

dividers are always free of undesirable / troubling elements

(strings etc.). Clean and check the guiding tracks of the

jam wall on a regular basis !

When spreading lime, it must be ensured that this grit has

a high thickening capability and can thus accumulate in

the chain wheels and the guiding tracks of the jam wall. It

is therefore vital to check, and where necessary to clean,

the chain wheels and guiding tracks on a regular basis

(if possible after each load carried)! Furthermore, the

installation of a flow distribution valve 1:1 DW (special

equipment) in the jam wall is recommendable. This valve

guarantees the exact parallel motion of the jam wall

lifting cylinder even in the case of accumulations in the

guiding tracks.

The same safety and maintenance instructions apply as

in the case of the manure spreader!

Warranty conditions

The scope of the warranty is limited to the repair or

replacement of a part which has become defective as

defined by the manufacturer. Defects due to normal wear

and due to incorrect use are excluded from the warranty.

There is no warranty if a device is modified without the

written consent of the manufacturer or if spare parts

were employed which were not original spare parts. The

warranty does not apply to parts not manufactured by us.

The warranty does not apply to working-time and travel/

transport costs or to consequential damage and accidents

causing personal and material damage which were caused

by non-adherence to the safety arrangements or by

incorrect operation. The manufacturer reserves the right

to change the technical specifications and descriptions of

his machines at any time and without prior notice.

Before commissioning

1. After 10 hours of operation, make sure that the screws

are well tightened!

2. Lubricate and oil the machine !

3. Before operating, always check the brakes, tyres and

protective mechanisms !
