Tractor Preparation
Follow this procedure when selecting and
preparing a tractor for use with the machine:
1.
Use only a tractor of sufficient power and
weight to adequately handle the machine.
It is recommended that the tractor have
at least 125 PTO horsepower for normal
operating conditions. (See PTO / Horsepower
Requirements on
2. It is recommended to pin the drawbar in its
centre draft position.
3. Use only a drawbar pin with provisions for
a mechanical retainer. Always install the
retainer.
4. Always attach a safety chain between
the tractor and the machine to prevent
unexpected separation.
Spreader Preparation
Your new Nitro spreader has a brief breaking-
in period that you should follow for optimal
operation, and for maximum lifetime of your
product. When using the machine for the first
time, it is extremely important to follow all of the
procedures especially those listed in the “Before
using” section to avoid damage:
Before Using
1. Read the Nitro Operator’s Manual. Do not
operate the spreader until the safety
precautions in this manual and the decals on
the spreader have been read and understood
by the operator.
2. Check for proper assembly and tighten all
bolts. All bolts were checked at the factory
when assembled but may need to be re-
torqued as vibrations in shipment may loosen
them slightly.
3. Complete all steps in “Tractor Preparation &
Spreader Preparation” sections.
4. Lubricate the machine. Refer to the Service
section of this manual. Proper maintenance
and lubrication is the user’s responsibility and
must begin before the first use.
5. Operate the machine slowly for a period of
time to run the chains in and confirm that all
parts work freely.
After operating for 2 hours:
1. Check wheel bolts torque.
2. Check all shields and guards. Tighten as
required.
3. Visually inspect all hydraulic hoses and
couplers. See “Hydraulic Safety” in the
Service & Maintenance section of this manual.
4. Check chain tightness. See “Adjust Chain
Tension” in the Maintenance & Safety section
After operating for 10 hours:
1. Repeat the 2 hour service list.
