OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR MARSHALL MUCKSPREADER HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU LONG
AND RELIABLE SERVICE. THIS CAN BE ENSURED BY FOLLOWING THE
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
OPERATING
Operating the Muck Spreader
–
Open the hydraulically operated lid to allow for better access.
It is advisable that you do not cover the starters at either end of the main rotor shaft with solid
type muck as this will significantly increase the time the spreader will take to get started. Once
you have loaded the spreader close the hydraulic lid, if the spreader is over filled this will not
matter, simply place the hydraulic lever in the float position and when the spreader starts it will
continue closing. Start the PTO shaft at low engine revs and increase the speed until you are
satisfied with the spread rate and pattern. As the spreader continues and the flail chains get to
work it will be necessary to either increase the forward speed or decrease the rotor speed to
keep the same spread rate and pattern. When the load is discharged always reduce the engine
revs to idling prior to shutting off the PTO shaft.
1.
Always disengage PTO shaft when turning.
2.
Never spread with the muck spreader lid in the open position.
3.
Always couple the spreader brakes and lights up every time you use the spreader
this reduces the chance of corrosion and the brake mechanism seizing due to
lack of use.
