OPTIONAL FEATURES & ACCESSORIES

NOTE: Installation information for all of the Optional Features & Accessories, described in this chapter, is provided in the Set-up & Assembly chapter, except for the safety chain, which is described in the Transporting chapter. See your Gehl dealer for proper kit numbers.

Hydraulic Endgate

Hydraulic endgate packages are available to retain manure with a high liquid content. The endgate can be installed on a single beater Spreader or on a Spreader with the optional Upper Beater Kit installed.

Litter Pan

If the Spreader is going to be transported on public highways, a litter pan should be obtained and installed to prevent manure from falling out the back of the Spreader and onto the highway.

NOTE: The litter pan is NOT designed to retain material with a high liquid content nor to support the weight of material during transit.

Safety Chains

If the Spreader is going to be transported on public highways, a Safety Chain Kit should be installed, per details in the Transporting chapter. The kit includes a safety chain, a clevis and appropriate attaching hardware. Consult your dealer for the proper size safety chain for your individual Spreader.

Shear Bolts

Shear bolts for the apron transmission shear device is contained in a single shear bolt package. The shear bolt package contains (8) 3/8 x 1-1/2″ (9.5 mm x 38 mm) Grade 5 shear bolts and locknuts.

Splash Shield

The Spreader can be equipped with a Splash Shield Kit to prevent high liquid content manure from spilling over the front of the Spreader while traveling to the field. The splash shield can be conveniently attached to the top front edge of the Spreader using the hardware provided.

Liquid Sides

Liquid sides are available for model 1177, 1217 and 1287 Spreaders. They will eliminate the many problems occurring when hauling soupy manure to the field in a box Spreader. The liquid sides must be used with the hydraulic endgate. The Litter Pan Kit should also be used for maximum effectiveness.

Hydraulic Feed Control

This option allows the operator to hydraulically control the apron speed quadrant from the tractor cab.

With this kit, the feed control quadrant is stroked by the cylinder. With each stroke, the quadrant is advanced. An indicator decal indicates which feed notch is engaged. After advancing the quadrant, the cylinder should be returned to the starting position. This allows the quadrant to rotate backward slightly against the stop.

NOTE: If the Spreader is equipped with both a hydraulic endgate and hydraulic feed control, the tractor used must have dual hydraulic outlets to operate two hydraulic cylinders.

SECOND BEATER & DRIVE ASSEMBLY

As needed, the Spreader can be equipped with a second beater and drive assembly. The beater and drive assembly is designed to be installed on a Spreader to improve spreading high-piled solid manure.

Slow Speed Apron Sprocket

A slow speed apron drive sprocket is available through service parts. The sprocket will slow the speed of the apron for lighter applications of manure.

Speeds will be slowed from 4.5 fpm (137 cm/min) to 2.2 fpm (68 cm/min) on the 1177, 1217 and 1287 model Spreaders, and from 4.6 fpm (140 cm/min) to 3.0 fpm (91 cm/min) on the 1410 model Spreader in the slow speed position.

WHEELS & WHEELS WITH TIRES

The following is a listing of the various wheels and wheels with tires combinations for the various model

Spreaders:

Set of two 8 x 20″ rims (1177 & 1217 models only)

Set of two 11.00 x 22.5 recapped tires on 8 x 22.5″ rims (1177 & 1217 models only)

Set of four 16.5L x 16.1 10-ply flotation tires on W14 rims (1287 & 1410 models)

Transport Lighting Kit

NOTE: If the Spreader is to be transported on public highways, a Transport Lighting Kit should be installed.

An accessory Transport Lighting Kit is available for all Spreader models. It includes lights, wiring harness and installation instructions.

Chapter 15 Decal Locations

General Information

Decal locations information is provided to assist in the proper selection and application of new decals, in the event the original decals become damaged or the machine is repainted. Refer to the listing for the illustration reference number, part number, description and quantity of each decal provided in the kit. Refer to the appropriate illustrations for replacement locations.

NOTE: Refer to the SAFETY chapter for the specific information provided on the various safety decals furnished in the decal kit(s).

To ensure proper selection for correct replacement decals, compare the various close-up location photographs to your machine BEFORE starting to refinish the unit. Then circle each pictured decal (applicable to your machine) while checking off its part number in the listing. After you have verified all the decals needed for replacement, set aside unneeded decals for disposal.

New Decal Application

Surfaces MUST be free from dirt, dust, grease and other foreign material before applying the new decal. To apply a solid-formed decal, remove the smaller portion of the decal backing paper and apply this part of the exposed adhesive backing to the clean surface while maintaining proper position and alignment. Slowly peel off the other portion of the backing paper while applying hand pressure to smooth out the decal surface.

Warning

ALWAYS observe safety rules shown on decals. If decals become damaged, or if the unit is repainted, replace the decals. If repainting, BE SURE that ALL decals from the kit(s) that apply to your machine are affixed to your unit.
