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.
3. Raise the discharge gate until it is about 1/3 open.
4. Select the desired tractor gear and begin spreading. To achieve the desired coverage, adjust the
discharge gate and/or travel speed.
5. When spreading material which is susceptible to bridging, the auger should be cycled up and down,
frequently, to provide a more consistent feeding of material into the expeller.
NOTE:
Do NOT exceed the 1000 RPM operating speed
.
OPERATION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The
Top Shot
is equipped with a Torque Limiting / Overrunning Clutch. If the torque limiter releases, stop
all operation and follow the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE.
The following are probable causes for torque limiting clutch disengagement:
1. A foreign object is present in the expeller.
2. Overfeeding of the expeller due to improper discharge gate adjustment.
3. Gate is being raised when spreading liquid material before expeller is up to operating speed.
