Jewelry may get caught in the mechanism. Wear shoes that will protect your feet. Sneakers do not protect and do not provide the protection of leather shoes or boots. Steel toed safety shoes should be considered for many situations. Hard Hat: The use of a hard hat should be considered when using equipment on a golf course. The danger of CAUTION DANGER identifies immediate hazards which will result in serious injury or death. identifies potential hazards which could result in serious injury or death. CAUTION identifies hazardous situations which may result in minor injury and/or could result in damage or destruction of equipment. being hit by a golf ball should be a major concern as well as protection while operating under trees. Eye Protection: Safety glasses and/or face shields should be considered when operating, as well as working in close proximity to high speed rotary equipment. Watch for rotary mowers, edgers, brush and string trimmers. Rotary mowers can throw debris at speeds up to 320 Km/h (200 mph). Hearing: If the noise level of the equipment is too loud, consider the use of ear protection. Do not use stereo headsets during operation. This is a distraction that may lead to an accident. Headsets also make it difficult to hear other people and equipment while operating the machine. Respirators: When operating in dusty, windy conditions, wear a respirator. This is also an important consideration if operating equipment while spraying chemicals and fertilizers. Gloves: Use gloves when handling sharp or hazardous objects. THE OPERATOR: The operator should never use a machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The operator should be aware of the hazards of working in the sun and should take proper precautions to avoid heat stress and dehydration. Use sun screen products when necessary. The operator should never attempt to ride a machine that is not designed for that propose. Do not allow others to ride a machine that is not designed for passengers. If designed to carry passengers, do not allow more passengers to ride a machine than the machine was designed to carry. Care should always be taken when mounting and dismounting a riding machine. Prevent injuries and falls by making sure the operator does not slip. Unless it is an emergency, do not jump off a machine. Injury may result when an operator s foot slips trying to jump from a machine. Do not operate any equipment at unsafe speeds. Speeds should be reduced when turning or operating 4 86174
on slopes. The operator must use common sense to determine a safe speed based on the equipment, the load, the slope, the surface, and other conditions that may affect safe operation. The operator must be aware of the conditions around the area. Be aware of other people and machines. Beware of slippery conditions. Wet turf can be encountered on slopes, when turning or stopping, or at higher speeds. Keep hands and feet away from cutting devices and drive components. Shut off the engine and remove the key or ignition wire when servicing cutting devices or drive components. If required to lift, an operator should ask for help if the object is too heavy. The operator should lift with his or her legs instead of the back. Care should be taken to avoid twisting the back while lifting a heavy load. Never allow children to operate the machine. THE MACHINE: Tow vehicles must have adequate tow hitches and brakes to control any towed machine. Check the weight and capacity of the machine that will be towed by that vehicle. Trucks used to carry equipment must have adequate load capacity and brakes. Check the weight and capacity of the machine that will be towed by that vehicle. Do not overload machinery. The components are designed for certain weights and capacities. Overloading the machine will cause unsafe conditions. Make sure the brakes are operating properly. Check to assure that all controls are in good operating condition. Inspect to insure that all guards are in place. Do not operate a machine without all guards in place. Always check the machine to make sure it is in good working order. Do not place hands or feet near moving or rotating parts. Check the tire pressure. Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses. Leaks and worn hoses should be fixed or replaced before the machine is put into service. Do not use your fingers or hands to check for hydraulic leaks. High pressure leaks can puncture the skin and force oil into the body. This can cause severe injury or death. Shut off the engine before servicing the machine. It is best to check machines on a level area. Machines on a slope may roll when the engine is off. Do not modify the machine in any manner. Refer unfamiliar repairs and adjustments to mechanics that have been trained to do them properly. Replace decals that are damaged or unreadable. THE TOW VEHICLE ENGINE: Prevent accidental starting by removing the spark plug wire when servicing the engine or the equipment. Disconnect the negative wire from the battery terminal if 86174 SAFETY the engine is equipped with an electric starting system. Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or any hard object. This may cause the flywheel to shatter in operation. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison. The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Do not store, spill, or use fuel near an open flame, nor near an appliance like a stove, furnace, or water heater that uses a pilot light or can create a spark. Do not refuel indoors or in an unventilated area. Check the fuel level. Do not over fill. Do not add fuel while the machine is hot because spilled fuel may cause a fire. Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do not transport the machine with fuel in the tank. Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running. Do not operate the engine if fuel is spilled, when the smell of fuel or gasoline is present, or when other explosive conditions exist. Move the equipment away from the spill and avoid any ignition until the fuel has evaporated. Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine. Whenever possible, gradually reduce the engine speed before stopping. Do not tamper with the governor springs, links or other parts to increase the engine speed. Run the engine at the speed set by the equipment manufacturer. Do not check for a spark with the spark plug removed. Use an approved tester. Use the correct tools to service the machine. Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed. If the engine is flooded, place the throttle in fast and crank until the engine starts. Avoid damage to electric starter by cranking intermittently until engine starts. Do not operate the machine without a muffler. Inspect the muffler periodically and replace it if it is leaking or worn. Replace it with correct muffler. Do not touch a hot muffler, cylinder, or cooling fin. Do not operate the engine with an accumulation of grass, leaves, or other combustible material in the muffler area. Keep the cylinder cooing fins and the governor parts free of dirt, grass, and other debris. Do not use the engine on any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a spark arrester is installed in the muffler. In the State of California, a spark arrester is required by law. Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. Do not start the engine with the air cleaner or the air cleaner cover removed. Use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can gum the carburetor and can cause leakage. Check the fuel lines and fittings frequently for cracks and leaks. 5

Always keep the hand held switch in a secure place. When not in use, secure the hand held switch to the frame side panel of the Unit. Wind up the cable on the control wire bracket. If the control box drops to the ground, the wiring harness can become tangled in the axles and wheels. Do not place the hand held switch inside of the hopper. ON/OFF HAND HELD CONTROL BOX METERING GATE HANDLE TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY and To Avoid Damage to the Machine, DO NOT Tow the Unit and the Spinner Attachment Over 6 MPH (9.6 Km/h). Do not tow or operate the Unit and the spinner attachment on side slopes over 15 degrees. Do not tow or operate the Unit and spinner attachment up or down slopes over 15 degrees. Do not tow the Unit with an over filled or overloaded hopper. Tipping or rolling over of the machine can occur. TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY and To Avoid Damage to the, Spinner Attachment and the Tractor, Do Not Operate on Side Slopes Over 15 Degrees. Do Not Operate Up or Down Slopes Over 15 Degrees. HAND HELD ON/OFF SWITCH (See Figure 6) The ON/OFF switch controls the on/off operation of both the and the Spinner Attachment. Refer to the decal on the hand held box - the switch has 3 positions: 1. Unit Conveyor OFF (O) Attachment OFF (O) 2. Unit Conveyor OFF (O) Attachment ON ( I ) 3. Unit Conveyor ON ( I ) Attachment ON ( I ) Always be at the operator s position before engaging the ON/OFF switch. Always start the spinner attachment before starting the conveyor belt. Avoid plugging the spinner attachment by ensuring that the spinner is operating before the conveyor belt is started. Always allow the spinner attachment to clear all of the material from 86174 FIGURE 6 OP86174-01 SETTING ATTACHMENT SPEED CONTROL (See Figure 6) The Attachment Speed Control regulates the amount of hydraulic flow to power the spinner wheels. Changes to the setting will increase or decrease the speed of the spinner attachment wheels. Changing the speed control only affects the speed of the spinner wheels; the attachment speed control does not affect the operating speed of the conveyor belt. The Attachment Speed Control is calibrated from 0 to 10 (zero to ten). Start out at a speed setting of 6 to 7. Observe the width of the spread and the quality of the pattern. Adjust the speed higher, 8 to 10, to increase the width and spread out the pattern. Increasing the speed setting will also help the spinner attachment in handling heavier top dressing material types. (Note that the tilt angle on the spinner attachment, the spread diverter, and the setting of the metering gate will also change the spread and pattern.) For a heavy spread with a narrower width, start at 4-1/2 up to 6. Setting the speed control under 4 will result in very slow spinner wheel speed. This can only be used with very light material at a very low volume. The spread width and pattern at a setting under 4 will be very narrow and produce a poor pattern. 11
OPERATION SETTING METERING GATE (See Figure 6) The amount of top dressing material released from the hopper to the spinner attachment can be varied by changing the Unit metering gate setting. Decrease the opening of the metering gate if the spinner attachment is unable to handle the volume of top dressing material or if material is spilling over the edge of the spinner assembly. For a lesser volume of material broadcasted, decreasing the metering gate opening will have better results than decreasing the speed of the spinner attachment. The moisture content of the top dressing material and the type of top dressing material will affect the rate of material being carried on the conveyor belt thru the metering gate. Combine the adjustment of the metering gate with the adjustment of the attachment speed hydraulic control. Experimentation by the operator will help to determine the proper setting. hopper panel is open will be too high for the spinner attachment to handle. Spilling of material over the edge of the spinner attachment and plugging of the spinner attachment will result.

SERVICE LEVEL MAINTENANCE Service Level Maintenance 86174 THE FOLLOWING SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES ARE FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE LEVEL PERSONNEL ONLY. SAFE-21 Do Not Attempt To Service any Part of the Spinner Attachment or the Unit When It Is Operating. Always Follow All Safety Hazard Warnings. Work Safely And Wear The Appropriate Safety Gear When Servicing The Unit and the Spinner Attachment. Properly Secure The Unit Before Starting Any Adjustment, Service or Lubrication Procedures. LATCH ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 8) When the latch assemblies are installed on the CR- 10 Unit, they should provide a positive drawing force on the attachment. This force must be tight enough to properly secure the attachment to the Unit. The latch assembly handle should require a firm (but not excessive) force to close the latch assembly handle into its locked position. LATCH ASSEMBLY LOCKING HANDLE EYELET AND LATCH ROD FIGURE 8 LATCH ROD JAM NUT DETENT PIN AND DETENT PIN HOLE SV86174-01 If the latch assembly or the attachment is loose (or too tight) when installed, an adjustment to the latch assembly draw can be made. Loosen the rear jam nut on the latch rod and turn the rod to adjust. Do not loosen the jam nut at the eyelet and turn the eyelet to adjust. Check the setting before locking the jam nut. Before adjusting the latch rod, check that the latch assemblies can be fully inserted into the pockets on the Unit attachment mounting brackets. Also check the condition of the latch pins on the mounting brackets. LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SPINNER WHEELS The spinner wheels receive hydraulic power from the Unit. The spinner wheels start to operate as soon as the hand held switch is in the ON ( I ) position for the attachment. Direction of rotation is opposite from each other. The left hand wheel spins clockwise, the right hand wheel spins counterclockwise (as viewed from the rear of the ). The spinner wheels are a direct drive from the hydraulic motors. Check the following items to troubleshoot the spinner wheels: Check for a buildup of material on the surfaces of the spinner wheels and vanes. Check for a buildup of material or obstructions caught under the spinner wheels. Check for restricted operation with other components. Spinner wheels should not rub on the directional shields. Check for loose or out-of-position spinner shields. Check for loose hydraulic motors or out-of-position hydraulic motors (Additional information can be found in the Hydraulic Section). Check for damaged hydraulic hoses or fittings. Check the hydraulic solenoid valve (located near the attachment speed control) on the Unit. Hydraulic motors or out-of-position hydraulic motors (Additional information can be found in the Unit manual in the Hydraulic Section). Check for loose electrical connections on the CR- 10 hand held switch (Additional information can be found in the Unit manual in the Electrical Section). Refer to Adjusting WideSpin Spinner Vane Angle in this section for information regarding vane and settings and adjustment. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The Spinner Attachment does not have any electrical components of its own. The ON/OFF function is part of the main Unit and the hand held ON/OFF switch. Refer to the Construction- Renovation Unit manual for information regarding the electrical system. 15
SERVICE LEVEL MAINTENANCE ADJUSTING WIDESPIN SPINNER DIVERTER (See Figure 9 and 10) The diverter controls the amount of overlap occurring in the center of the spread (See Figure 9). Normal adjustments to the spinner tilt control, attachment speed control and the metering gate will usually correct any overlap problems in the spread pattern. However, because of the large variations in different types, weights and moisture contents of top dressing materials, it may be necessary to also readjust the diverter. The diverter is adjustable up and down. The lower the diverter is set, the more trimming effect it will have on controlling the amount of overlap. Loosen both diverter locking nuts. Slide diverter up or down, retighten lock nuts. Additional overlap control can be done by changing the vane angle. Refer to Adjusting WideSpin Spinner Vane Angle on the next page.

SERVICE LEVEL MAINTENANCE ADJUSTING WIDESPIN SPINNER VANE ANGLE (See Figure 9 and Figure 11) The mounting angle of the vanes on the spinner wheels is adjustable. Changing the angle of the vanes will vary the width, pattern and overlap of the spread. Normal adjustments to the spinner tilt control, spread diverter, the attachment speed control and the metering gate will usually correct any problems in the spread pattern. However, because of the large variations in different types, weights and moisture contents of top dressing materials, it may be necessary to change the vane mounting angles. Decreasing the vane angle tightens up the spread pattern (more overlap in the center and a narrower spread width). Increasing the vane angle and opens up the spread pattern (less overlap in the center and a wider spread width). Start adjustment at the minimum vane angle (standard factory vane angle setting). Loosening the locking nut on the vane. (It is not necessary to loosen the nut on the other end of the vane.) Move the vane approximately 1/4 the length of the slot and retighten the locking nut. Adjust all vanes equally. Test and readjust as needed. NOTE: Because the right and left spinner wheels rotate in opposite direction, the right and left vanes are a mirror image of each other (See Figure 11).

SERVICE LEVEL MAINTENANCE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (See Figure 12) SAFE-20 DANGER Never Service Any Part Of The Hydraulic System With The Pump Operating. High Hydraulic Pressure And High Oil Temperatures Can Cause Serious Injury Or Death. Do Not Use Your Fingers Or Hands To Check For Hydraulic Leaks. High Pressure Leaks Can Puncture The Skin And Force Oil Into The Body. This Can Cause Severe Injury Or Death. Be Aware of High Hydraulic Oil Temperatures. Serious Burns and Injuries Are Possible. Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses. Leaks and worn hoses should be fixed or replaced before the machine is put into service. The hydraulic system has pipe thread fittings on some of the components. If disassembled, reseal the pipe thread fitting with Teflon tape or pipe dope. The steel hydraulic piping is equipped with flared fittings that do not require the use of Teflon tape or pipe dope. HYDRAULIC OIL Hydraulic fluid to operate the Spinner Attachment is provided by the tractor. Check the fluid level at the tractor to assure that proper fluid levels and volume is being supplied to both the Unit and the Spinner Attachment. DRAINING SPINNER ATTACHMENT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The hydraulic system is self-bleeding and does not normally store or retain any pressure when not in operation. However, in the event of failure of certain components, hydraulic pressure can be trapped in the system. Before servicing any component, check for any remaining hydraulic pressure. Allow time for the hydraulic oil in the system to cool. Disconnect the quick release fittings from. Be prepared to safely catch and contain approximately 0.47 liter (1/2 quart) of hydraulic oil. Draining the spinner attachment hydraulic system can be done by removing the male quick release fitting from the end of the PRESSURE IN hose.
