4 Important Safety Precautions Never exceed the spreader s speed rating as this could lead to death or serious injury. Never carry out adjustments or maintenance on machinery while it is in operation, as this could lead to death or serious injury. Never attempt to clear a blockage while the spreader is in operation as this could lead to death or serious injury. Never operate the machine without all safety guards in place and properly secured as this can result in death or serious injury. Always disconnect hydraulic connections before carrying out any of the maintenance instructions. Failure to disconnect, the above, could lead to death or serious injury. Do not ride on the spreader. The ladder is only provided for ease of access during servicing or maintenance operations. Do not overload the spreader. Exceeding the axle weight will cause irreparable damage to the spreader. Observe all current Health and Safety Regulations. When carrying out maintenance tractor should be turned off and the key removed. All persons except the operator should be kept away a minimum of 75 m from spreading area Never enter machine when the spreader is running Loose fitting clothing should never be worn when while using the machine as these could become entangled in moving parts and could result in death or serious injury. Personal Protective equipment should be worn when handling fertiliser (check MSDS). General 1. Keep the machine as clean as possible 2. Check wheel nuts daily before use. 3. Check tyre pressures before use (see max inflation pressure table) 4. Grease all bearings weekly. 5. Always check the oil filter indicator on the filter (if fitted,) before use. 6. Always change tractor oil and filter in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. 2 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

5 All maintenance work must be carried out when the machine is turned off and the key removed. Failure to comply with the instructions given in this manual may lead to the following dangers: - Danger of entrapment due moving conveyer type floor - - Danger of entanglement with spinners - Danger of getting entangled in the shaft transmission parts if the guards are removed; Danger of falls when climbing ladder Users should become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual before using, servicing and mounting the spreader to the tractor. Never wear loose clothing when operating the machinery. Always wear approved garments complying with accident prevention provisions such as non-slip shoes, hearing and eye protection. Wear a jacket with reflecting stickers if the spreader is used near public roads. Work Area The operator must remain seated while working the machine. Always ensure the tractor has been turned off and the parking brake applied before any maintenance or changes are carried out to the spreader. Caution The driven floor should never be operated with the doors in closed position this could cause irreparable damage. On some fertilisers it should not be operated with less than 20 mm of gap as packing will occur and the belt will jam. When spreading Steel Works Slag, always operate the machine in the low gear with the door open as wide as possible. Copyright Agrispread September

6 Setting Spinner Speeds and Rear Deflectors Spinner Speed is the most important factor in achieving an accurate spread pattern. The spinner speed is adjusted by altering the control on the valve at the front of the machine (shown in Figure 1 below). Guideline spinner speeds for various different materials are given in Table 1 : Recommended Spinner Speeds For Spreading on page 38. Figure 2: Spinner Flow Control Valve When setting spinner speeds ensure the engine of the tractor is running at the same R.P.M. as it will normally be operating in the field and make sure that the oil is warmed up to its normal operating temperature. Always monitor the spinner speed by watching the tachometer when operating the spreader as an error of 50 R.P.M. on spinner speed will result in a deterioration of the spread pattern. If the spinner speed is too high there will be too much material behind the spreader. If the spinner speed is too slow there will be too little material behind the spreader. It is sometimes necessary to alter the angle of the rear deflectors to lighten the spread behind the machine and throw the material more into the centre of the pattern. This is shown in the table on the following page along with the spinner speeds for sample materials and is expressed in the following manner. WARNING: NEVER ADJUST THE DEFLECTORS WHILE THE SPINNERS ROTATING. 4 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

7 Setting the Application Rate The application rate of material is controlled by the back door settings and gear selection. Refer to the rate charts in Appendix 1 - Setting your Spreading Rate. At the back of this manual for guideline settings of the door opening in millimetres and which gear should be selected. Once you have selected your rate from the charts, remove the retaining pins in the door handles and adjust the door so that the top of the door indicator lines up with your selected figure on the chart. Replace the retaining pins and check that both doors are level with each other. The rate is now set. With the huge variation of prills and compounds it is impossible to be 100% accurate without checking the batch of material you are spreading. GEAR SETTINGS Med..High..Low gear denoted on the table refers to the gear box selector on the inside of the jockey wheel drive arm. Gear is selection is indicated on the decal on the gear box. Neutral is between each gear. Always remember to replace the retaining pin after changing gear. Details of changing gear are explained on page 8. Use will dictate accurate settings. To Start Spreading Single Spool Tractors... Start by opening the tractor spool valve. Twin Spool Tractors... Start the spinners by opening the tractor spool valve. Engage the gearbox by lowering the gearbox ram until the gearbox jockey wheel is in full contact with the trailer wheel. Do not run at high speed while engaging wheel. Both... Ensure engine RPM is within the range as when the spinner speed was set and check the spinner speed on the tachometer. Drive off maintaining engine RPM and using the tractor gearbox to keep the engine from labouring. This will ensure the hydraulic flow will be sufficient to maintain constant spinner speed. To Stop Spreading Single Spool Tractors... To raise jockey wheel clear of main wheel return the hydraulic selector for the spinner to off through neutral to reverse flow until wheel is lifted and then return to neutral. Twin Spool Tractors... Lift the gearbox clear of the main trailer wheel by operating the gearbox ram spool valve on the tractor, only stop spinners if required. Stop spinners by operating the spinner spool valve on the tractor when required. Copyright Agrispread September

11 Removing Belt for Replacement Should it be necessary to remove the belt, the following procedure should be adopted. 1. Slacken the both front adjuster s worm drives right off. 2. Separate the bearing block carriers from the front adjuster s on both sides of the trailer. 3. Undo the grub screws on the inside of the front roller; 4. Remove bearing blocks on both sides. 5. Pull the bearing block with the loosened grub screws from the front roller shaft. 6. Slide Front Roller out from spreader 7. Remove all belt rollers by a tap up and out. 8. Loosen grub screws on rear belt roller 9. Loosen bolts which mount bearings to spreader 10. Remove bearings from rear roller 11. Slide the rear belt roller out from spreader 12. Remove the belt. To install a new belt repeat the process in reverse order but ensure the belt is in correctly Direction of rotation is marked and that the belt is on top side of pinch roller. Copyright Agrispread September

12 General Maintenance All maintenance work must be carried out when the machine is turned off and the key removed. Belt Maintenance and Adjustment The belt has been aligned in the factory before delivery of the spreader with no load. After several initial loads, the belt will stretch and may need to be re-tensioned. This is described below. Left Hand Front Adjuster: Nut A Nut B Using a 30 mm spanner, unlock nut A. Turn Nut B in the downward direction as shown by the red arrow. See above illustration for details. (Note: positioning of front roller may differ for different models) Turn the worm drive for only one revolution then repeat the process on other belt adjuster(note: for right hand adjuster nut B should be tightened in upward direction. Repeat this process until belt is sufficiently tight. Location of Front adjuster is shown in Figure 4: Location of Front Adjuster. 10 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

13 Figure 4: Location of Front Adjuster Belt Alignment: If the belt drifts to this side of the spreader (left hand side), the left hand adjuster only should be tensioned 1/8 of a turn at a time. After each turn run the belt for 3 minutes. If the belt continues to drift to this side repeat the process. Adjust evenly so that the belt does not slip under full loads Repeat the process for the right hand adjuster. Copyright Agrispread September

14 Belt Care Keep the rear stripper bar clean to prevent build up as this will cause premature belt wear and alter the spread pattern. Remove material build up from behind and under skirting for the same reason. End of Season Slacken the belt before storage. Free up bed rollers before commencing new season operation. Check all nylon nuts (item 1) and roller end bushings(item 2) to ensure they are tight 12 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

15 Check couplings (item 4) and coupling insert (item 5) to ensure it is in good condition. Ensure both side skirts (item 6) are in good condition, free of holes and damage, if side skirts are damaged replace immediately as failure to do so is likely cause further damage. Copyright Agrispread September

16 Check calibration sticker is legible and still functioning correctly (e.g. when door is fully closed door pointer should be at zero, when at 50mm it should be opened 50mm etc. ).To recalibrate close door fully loosen door pointer nuts,set pointer to zero and retighten door pointer nuts. Calibration sticker Door pointer nuts 14 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

17 Maintenance of Bearings All bearings should be greased regularly. Each bearing has a grease nipple attached. The locations of bearings are shown in Figure 5 below. (Warning Machine should not be operating while maintenance is being carried out).all bearings are marked with grease Label. Figure 5: Belt Bearing Locations Copyright Agrispread September

18 Each Spinner has a grease nipple for the purpose of lubrication. Spinners should be greased before each use. Figure 6 : Location of spinner grease nipples 16 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

19 The drawbar should be checked to ensure that chassis is free from corrosion and cracks. The drawbar should be greased after every use via the grease nipple shown in diagram below. Copyright Agrispread September

20 Maintenance of Land driven Gearbox Grease details: Recommended Oil: 80 W 90, 1 part oil Recommended Grease: Lithium Complex Grease. 6 part Grease Gearbox should be checked for grease regularly. Gearbox does not need to be emptied out, just top up when necessary There are 8 grease nipples on the gear box these should be greased regularly 18 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

21 Maintenance of Hydraulic Gearbox The Gearbox which drives the conveyer belt shown below should have its oil checked regularly. Replace existing oil with gear oil (EP 80/90) every six months to a year depending on usage. Copyright Agrispread September

22 Wheel Tightening Sequence To achieve correct tension in each of the wheel locating bolts, and thus optimum wheel security, Tighten wheel nuts in the order shown below. Wheel Tightening Torque Tightening Torques Ft.Lb N.m Wheel nuts - BSF / DIN Copyright Agrispread September 2014

23 Servicing Axles In order to achieve maximum performance from your axle it requires regular servicing outlined below.( Service intervals depend on operating conditions) Service intervals depend on operating conditions. It is recommended that records of this servicing are kept for future reference. On Initial Receipt > Check all nuts, etc. for recommended torque. It is strongly recommended that wheel nut torque is checked every 7 days or 1000 km, whichever is the sooner. First 300 miles (500 km) > Check all wheel nuts daily for first week, due to seating effects. It is suggested that the hubs are checked for end-float, again due to seating effects. Lubricate all grease points, using Lithium soap-based EP2 grease. At 3,000 miles (5,000 km) > Check same as first 300 miles (500 km). Check wear pattern of brake linings, if not satisfactory, make correct adjustment. Check hubs for end-float. Reset adjustment nut if necessary. At 10,000 miles (15,000 km) and every 10,000 miles thereafter > Lubricate all grease points. Check hubs for bearing end-float. Adjust as necessary. Lubricate slack adjusters. Check brake linings for wear. At 30,000 miles (50,000 km) and every 30,000 miles thereafter > Remove hubs, check brake linings for wear, check anchor pins for sticking (remove and regrease if necessary), check camshafts for sticking. Completely clean out grease from hub. Re-pack, using fresh grease. Check grease seals for signs of wear, replace if necessary. Re-set bearing adjustment nuts to give bearing end-float.

26 Agrispread for Ground spread Spinner speed How do you tell what your spinners are doing? When do you know if they are going too fast or too slow, before or after the farmer complains about the poor job done? To be certain you have the right speed use the Agrispread tachometer provided. AGRI-SPREAD Tachometer This will give you the speed of your spinners so that you should always know what they are doing. Spinner speed will vary with load, oil temperature and engine revs. If spread pattern is too heavy behind spreader spinner speed is usually too high, if the spread pattern is too light increase spinner speed. To get correct spread pattern spreader must be pan tested. Kit descriptions are as follows 1) Agri-spread Tachometer (spinner shaft already has magnet fitted) 2) Rev counter with magnet and sensor mount 3) Plug kit for trailers or trucks with demountable bins. BE REALISTIC - FIT A TACHOMETER 24 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

27 Agri-Spread Density Metres The Agri-Spread density metres are a quick and easy way to find out the density of fertiliser even on al load by load basis. Up until now we have only been able to measure cubic density by very accurate scales which are expensive and easily broken. The Agri-spread density metre gives you a robust, light and simple alternative that can even be carried out in the cab. 4. Read off top metric scale for weight per cu. Metre in Tonnes 1. Fill level with Product 2. Balance on ring 3. Slide weight until level is in centre Simply fill the Agri-spread density metre with the required product and level off top, slide balance until float is in the centre and read off top metric cubic scale weight on slide arm. Headland Control Valve Wheel for adjusting Spinner RPM Release nut to adjust headland spool Headland operation: Spool valve is adjusted by turning black wheel as described below: Fully clockwise: Both spinners are operating at equal RPM Anticlockwise: Reducers left hand spinner speed. To spread on headlands the left hand spinner RPM should be reduced by 20% in relation to your normal spinner RPM. WARNING! DO NOT ADJUST HEADLAND CONTROL WHILE MACHINE IS OPERATING, FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. Copyright Agrispread September

28 Mounting Spreader to Tractor The spreader should be attached to tractor via hitch eye. The drawbar shoe should be place in closed position while spreader is mounted to tractor.to mount spreader to tractor correctly: 1. Ensure both the tractor pick-up hitch and the spreader towing eye is serviceable and undamaged. Ensure that the spreader handbrake is fully applied. 2. When reversing the tractor to connect the hitch to the towing eye ensure the hitch is lowered sufficiently to go under the towing eye. 3. Raise the pickup hitch ensuring it is secure against its top retaining position. This prevents the towing eye disengaging. 4. STOP the tractor s engine and connect the large diameter return hose to the return line breakaway coupling on your tractor. 5. Connect the small diameter pressure hose to the pressure line breakaway coupling on your tractor. 6. Connect and secure the multi-pin electrical plug to the tractor s lighting socket. After connecting the electrical circuit, ensure the lights are clean and operating properly. 7. Place draw bar shoe in closed position A. Remove lynch pin from front draw bar shoe pin B. Remove drawbar shoe pin C. Rotate the drawbar shoe in upward direction until in position shown in diagram below D. Re-insert drawbar pin into previous position E. Re-insert lynch pin into drawbar shoe pin F. Then disengage the spreader handbrake 26 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

29 Dismounting Spreader from Tractor To this dismount spreader from tractor, first ensure ground is firm and level where the machine will be parked. Then set the drawbar shoe in opened position. Disconnection of the Agrispread lime spreader from the tractor is the reverse of the above, except that the spreader s hydraulic hoses should be fitted to the anchors provided on the spreader. This prevents damage to the hose fittings and contamination of the hydraulic and brake systems. Remember to apply the handbrake and support the drawbar prior to unhitching the spreader from the tractor. 1. Engage the handbrake 2. Remove lynch pin from front draw bar shoe pin 3. Remove drawbar shoe pin 4. Rotate the drawbar shoe in downward direction until in position shown in diagram below 5. Re-insert drawbar pin into previous position 6. Re-insert lynch pin into drawbar shoe pin 7. Ensure that all components are detached from tractor 8. Uncouple spreader from tractor hitch Copyright Agrispread September

30 Connecting Up Hydraulics to Your Trailer 1. Connect the large diameter return hose to the return line breakaway coupling on your tractor. 2. Connect the small diameter pressure hose to the pressure line breakaway coupling on your tractor. 3. With the tractor at an idle, engage your hydraulic spinners. The right hand spinner should rotate anticlockwise. The left hand spinner should rotate clockwise. NOTE: If the spinners do not rotate or rotate the wrong direction then the delivery and return hoses may have to be swapped over. CAUTION!! Spinners can be over accelerated. Check Your Tachometer!! Max. for 675 mm spinners 1200 rpm, 575 mm spinners 1400 rpm. On any new set-up always shut Spinner Flow Control Valve before start up and open up with tractor at Max. RPM until maximum spinner speed or flow control setting to keep Max. Spinner speed within the above parameters. 28 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

31 Adjusting Height of Hitch It is possible to raise or lower the hitch as shown in figure below. To lower the hitch 1. Remove bolt and nuts using a size 30 spanner. 2. If the hitch requires to be lowered, lower the swivel hitch one hole. 3. Realigned holes and replace bolts, nuts and washers. 4. Ensure nuts and bolts are tightened sufficiently. To raise the hitch 1. Remove bolt and nuts using a size 30 spanner. 2. If the hitch requires to be raised, raise the swivel hitch one hole. 3. Realigned holes and replace bolts, nuts and washers. 4. Ensure nuts and bolts are tightened sufficiently. 1 1 Hitch types may vary however procedure for adjusting the hitch height remains the same Copyright Agrispread September

32 Maintenance of Hitch Hitch should be inspected regular to ensure that all nuts and bolts are tight. The hitch should be free from corrosion and cracks. If hitch is swivel type the hitch should be greased weekly via the grease nipple shown in diagram below. The swivel hitch should be rotated by hand to ensure even film of grease. Hitch should also be able to rotate freely 360⁰. 30 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

33 Operating Handbrake In order to engage parking brake on Machine, pull the handbrake lever towards the rear of the machine. The Handbrake operates on a handbrake mechanism therefore the above action should be repeated continually until the brakes are engaged. To disengage brake, sharply pull the hand brake towards the hitch. (Ensure that machine is on flat ground before this action is performed) Copyright Agrispread September

38 Appendix 1 - Setting your Spreading Rate. What affects the application rate of your Agri-Spread Spreader? 1 Material Density, Usually Expressed As Relative Density. This is a comparison of weight to volume. Imagine a table tennis ball and a golf ball, they are of a similar size and volume but the weight of a golf ball is far greater. This means that a golf ball is far denser than a table tennis ball. In spreading terms, this means that to spread a similar weight of materials of differing densities the volume of material spread must change. To spread accurately, you must know the density of the material you are spreading. The rate charts shown in this appendix are referenced to material density. 2 How Material Flows. Materials of the same density can have different flow characteristics; for example, take the charts included in this section for Hydro Extran and Kemira Nitraprill. Both materials have the same density but with the same door opening far more Nitraprill will come out than Extran. This is due to the prill size and the ease with which it will flow. Compounds will not flow as readily as prills as they tend to be more angular in shape compared to the spherical prills. Humidity and dampness can also affect the way a material flows as can the age of the fertiliser. This means that although guideline charts are included in this section it is important that the user calculates their own application rate from the formula provided. 3 Driving Inaccurately. Although your Agri-spread unit has a ground related conveyor belt, driving inaccuracies can affect your rate per hectare. If your machine is set for a 12 M bout width any variation from this in your rows will be reflected in the error of rate of application. i.e. If you drive at 10 M instead of 12 M the error in your rate will be 12/10 x 100 = 120% of your required rate per hectare. Likewise if you drive at 14 M instead of 12 M the error in your rate will be 12/14 x 100 = 86% of your required rate per hectare. Errors in this region are likely to cause stripping and are costing you money. REMEMBER! IT PAYS TO DRIVE ACCURATELY. 36 Copyright Agrispread September 2014

39 How to use Rate Charts: Step 1: Find the material density by using the Agri-spread density metre as described in the operator s manual. Step 2: When you have the density of the material go to the appropriate density chart. The density is shown on each chart on the top left hand side of the chart. I.E. Material density Cu. Metre Step 3: The rate charts are given in Kg per hectare. Once the rate required is known scroll down on the left hand column to find the required Rate. I.E. Rate required is 250 Step 4: The width is given along the top column and is given in metres. Once the width required is known scroll along the top column to required width. I.E. Width required 12 metres Step 5: This is a combination of step 4 and step 5. Scroll across the x axis and scroll down the y axis until both meet. The measurement that both lines cross is the door height required in millimetres. I.E. Rate required is 250; Width required is 12 metres, Door opening: 48 mm.
