SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MAINTENANCE 12. NEVER open the hydraulic cap until ALL air pressure has been released. 13. Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL TONGUE (Fig. 1) 1. Mount the tongue using (2) 1/2" x 3-1/2" bolts, flat washers and nuts provided. Double nut both bolts. ASSEMBLE HOPPER (Fig. 2) 1. Assemble the sides, front, and back (Item A, B, and C) of the hopper and corner guards (Item H) using the 1/4" x 3/4" carriage bolts provided. Attach at all four corners and secure tightly. Figure 1 2. Set the hopper frame in position on the topdresser. IMPORTANT: The rubber flaps must be installed on the topdresser.
BEFORE OPERATING CHECK TIRE PRESSURE DANGER Pressurized Cap Can Cause Serious Injury If Improperly Opened. 1. Check tire pressure before each use. Because the topdresser is ground driven always maintain tire pressure at 20 PSI. ATTACH TOPDRESSER TO TOWING VEHICLE Never open oil cap without releasing pressure valve stem. Keep face and upper body away from cap while opening. 1. Attach the topdresser to the towing vehicle. Use the pin on the towing vehicle to secure. 2.
CONTROLS DANGER Pressurized Cap Can Cause Serious Injury If Improperly Opened. PRESSURE GAUGE The gauge is a pressure gauge that reads the air pressure in the tank. The recommended air pressure is between 20 - 40 PSI. NEVER open oil cap without releasing pressure valve stem. Keep face and upper body away from cap while opening. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DANGER 2. Open the gate arm to the desired rate. Tighten the black knob to lock into position.
LUBRICATION BEARINGS (Fig. 4) ADJUSTMENT LUGS (Fig. 5) The topdresser has 5 self sealing bearings that must be lubricated with a No. 2 Lithium based grease. Always maintain a light coat of No. 2 Lithium based grease on the threads of the four adjustment lugs. IMPORTANT: Lubricate the bearings to maintain a slight leakage on the seals. Too Figure 5 much grease can cause overheating. Figure 4 Wheels DRIVE CHAIN Grease fittings weekly or every 40 operating hours. Use No. 2 Lithium based grease.
MAINTENANCE BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DANGER Pressurized Cap Can Cause Serious Injury If Improperly Opened. Never open oil cap without releasing pressure valve stem. Keep face and upper body away from cap while opening. When any hydraulic part is replaced the system will have to be bled. 1. Push valve stem in to release all pressure from the tank. 2. Remove the air pressure cap. 3. With towing unit, pull the topdresser up to 8 MPH. Pull the top dresser until all "jerking" motion has stopped. 4.
MAINTENANCE BRUSH TO CONVEYOR BELT ADJUSTMENT Fig. 7) CHAIN TENSION (Fig. 8) The brush is moved back and forth on its mounting slots to adjust it to the conveyor belt. The brush should be as close to the belt as possible without touching.
is shown in Fig. 9. If the rotation in not correct, the hydraulic lines are installed backwards. See the Hydraulic Schematic (pg. 15). MAINTENANCE CONVEYOR BELT INSTALLATION/TENSION (Fig. 10 & 11) CONVEYOR BELT LACING To install a new conveyor belt follow the instructions below. 1. Pull the topdresser forward until the conveyor belt seam is in the center of the hopper. 2. Loosen the nuts (A) on the spring rod to release the tension.(See Figure 11). 3.

TROUBLE SHOOTING CONDITION Conveyor Belt and Brush Not Turning CAUSE • Bad Electrical Connections CORRECTION • Plug in the wiring harness and make sure wires are making contact. • Blown harness fuse. • Replace fuse • Hydraulic lines installed backwards • Standing on the left hand side (Chain Guard side) the conveyor belt should rotate clockwise and the brush should rotate counterclockwise. If incorrect, reverse the lines on the corresponding motors.
TROUBLE SHOOTING (Cont.) CONDITION CAUSE CORRECTION • Check the pressure setting on Tire(s) Skidding (cont.) the relief valve (1100 PSI) it may be too low. Reset, if necessary. • Uneven tire pressure • Check tire pressure. All tires should be 20 PSI. Conveyor Belt Not Tracking • Belt pulls to one side • Tension is not the same from side to side. Set the spring rod at 4 1/2" on both sides. Run. The belt will pull to the tight side. Loosen or tighten as needed.
SEASONAL STORAGE 1. Thoroughly clean the topdresser, especially inside the hopper. The hopper and conveyor belt area should be free of any remaining sand particles. 2. Apply a light coat of silicone to the lacing of the conveyor belt. Refer to Maintenance section 3. Inflate all tires to 20 PSI. Or block up the topdresser to remove the weight. 4. Drain and replace hydraulic fluid and filter. Inspect all hydraulic lines and fittings. Replace if necessary. Refer to the Maintenance section. 6.
