3. Using the Auger Lock-out System
A. Shut off spinner and auger then position the
main hydraulics on/off lever to off. Turn off truck.
B. Verify hydraulic system is shut off then discon-
nect the quick disconnect fitting on the side plate
of the spreader.
C. The lower tray may now be opened for servicing.
D. After servicing, close and lock the tray in op-
erating position then reroute the hydraulic hose
through the latch bracket and reconnect the quick
disconnect coupler.
E. Verify that all hydraulic components are still
in operational condition, turn the main hydrau-
lics back on and test the function of the unit. If
any issues are noticed turn off spreader and main
hydraulics then inspect and/or service the entire
spreader and/or hydraulic system.
Recommended Maintenance
A. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
B. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-
foaming hydraulic oil.
C. Use precautions to keep contaminants from get-
ting in reservoir when filling.
D. Quick connects are a prime source of contamination.
1. Clean quick connects before connecting or
disconnecting them.
2. Protect quick connects from contaminates.
E. Lubricate all bearings with suitable type grease
on a regular basis. More frequent lubrication is
recommended during periods of heavy use.
F. Lubricate the spinner hinge rod periodically.
G. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gear-
boxes with SAE 90 gear lubricant.
H. When not in use, keep the spreader tray empty
to prevent freezing of material around auger in
extremely cold weather.
I. To extend the life of your spreader:
1. Hose down and clean after each use.
2. Repaint and/or oil after each season.
CAUTION
Position the valve on/off control lever in the off posi-
tion when the spreader is not in use or is removed. In
the event the valve on/off control lever is left in the on
position, a heat problem may occur as the pump contin-
ues to pump oil to the hydraulic valve. This could cause
a hose to burst spraying hot oil.
DANGER
Before working in or around the auger area, all power
to the spreader must be turned off. Disengage the PTO,
shut off the engine and follow the lock out instructions.
After servicing is complete, reverse the process to
restore the spreader function. NEVER PUT ANY PART OF
YOUR BODY INSIDE THE AUGER AREA OF SPREADER.
4. Miscellaneous
A. Valve setting changes may be made with truck
in motion.
B. By moving on/off lever to the off position, spin-
ner and auger may be stopped at the same time
without changing their valve settings.
C. Close cover plate flat over spreader trough and
lock in place for normal use of dump truck. Tailgate
may be opened from top or bottom.
D. When truck is used for extensive hauling the
spinner assembly should be removed.
E. If auger clogs, shut off spinner, open auger knob
valve and increase the engine speed. With the
engine at a higher speed, move the valve lever
from the on to the off positions rapidly; repeat as
needed. This action may unclog the auger. If this
action fails to free the auger, manual unclogging
will be required.
