PREPARING FOR OPERATION

Preparing Manure Spreader

Properly lubricate the Manure Spreader, check automatic oiler level, and fill if necessary before operating. Refer to Lubrication Section of this Operator’s Manual for locations.

Before loading material, adjust the hitch clevis to your tractor in order to obtain a level or forward position of the Manure Spreader tank. The hitch clevis mounting plate has several sets of mounting holes on the 2320 & 2326 to level the Manure Spreader for proper material delivery to the expeller. If additional positioning is required, turn the clevis assembly upside-down to obtain additional adjustment. If the Manure Spreader is going to be operated in freezing temperatures, review and comply with recommendations in the Operation Chapter, under the Winter Operation section.

Proper operation of a loaded Manure Spreader requires a tractor with sufficient horsepower to run the PTO and proper size to counterbalance the weight of a loaded Manure Spreader.
