Checks Before Initial Field Use:
- Check your equipment and confirm that there are no hydraulic leaks.
- Verify torque on the wheel bolts
- Check the tire pressure on your equipment
- Ensure proper operation of the conveyors, belts and spinners
- Verify that the conveyor is properly tensioned and lubricated before operation.
- Check gearbox oil level
- If equipped with tracks, verify proper belt tension and proper lubrication are up to date.
- Verify spinner vanes are in good shape, and not worn or bent.
- Verify spinner speed sensor is working properly. Refer to operator’s manual for troubleshooting information.
Checks After Initial Field Use:
- Verify the conveyor is properly tensioned
- Check at least once a day
- Verify torque on the wheel bolts
- Check periodically until the wheel bolts remain tight
- Verify tire pressure
SETUP & REFERENCE GUIDE
1) Hydraulic Flow Requirement:
Supply hose 1 and supply hose 2 require a combined flow of 38 gpm
2) Tractor Hydraulic Remote Hookup:
- Supply hose 1 to remote 1 (blue hose wrap)
- Supply hose 2 to remote 2 (blue hose wrap)
- Large diameter, unmarked hoses to low-pressure return (if the tractor is equipped)
- If not equipped, these can be hooked up to return ports for remotes 1-2
- Case drain (yellow hose wrap)
- Brakes (red hose wrap, if equipped)
3) Tractor Electrical Connections:
- Lights
- ISO Rate Controller (if equipped)
- Foot Switch
- Electric Tarp (if equipped)
4) Gate Height:
- Gate height needs will vary by product, application rate, application width and application speed. This height will need to be adjusted if the conveyor speed is outside of an optimal 10-40 rpm. Increasing the gate height will slow the conveyor down and decreasing the gate height will speed it up.
- Adjust spreader constant according to gate height setting. Please refer to the "RCM Spreader Set Up" section in your manual for the starting theoretical spreader constant numbers
