DO NOT OVEREXTEND THE TOP LINK.
The
maximum span of the top link is 18”. If the top
link is extended beyond this, it may come apart.
WARNING
: ALWAYS LEVEL THE HOPPER WITH AN
EMPTY
HOPPER
! A FULLY LOADED SPREADER CAN CAUSE THE UNIT TO
BE UNSTABLE UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY LEVELED.

LEVELING THE HOPPER
•
After the Spreader is securely attached to
the tow vehicle, it is necessary to level the
Spreader to the best of your ability.
•
To level the Spreader, make sure the tow
vehicle and Spreader are on a relatively
level flat surface.
•
Locate the Leveling top link in the front of
the unit.
See FIGURE 13.1
•
Using a wrench loosen the jam nut located
on the top link threads. Thread the jam nut
up the threads so it is out of the way.
•
Once the jam nut is moved, determine if you
need to make the Hopper lean towards the
tow vehicle or away from the tow vehicle to
bring it to level.

WARNING
: ALWAYS SET THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE TOW
VEHICLE BEFORE WORKING WITH THE EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL MOVEMENT.
LEVELING THE HOPPER CONTINUED
•
If you need to make the Hopper come
towards the Tow Vehicle, then you will
shorten the top link.
•
If you need to make the Hopper go away
from the Tow Vehicle, then you will lengthen
the top link.
•
To change the top link length, find the rod in
the center of the top link body and use it to
rotate the body. Rotating the top link body
in one direction will lengthen it and rotating
in the opposite direction will shorten it.
TRANSPORTING SPREADER
•
Never transport long distances with a
loaded Hopper.
•
When transporting the Spreader remove the
Axle Pin and place it in the Pin Storage Hole
indicated by the “AXLE PIN” Decal
.
Only
have pin placed in the axle when actively
Spreading.
