SECTION 2: OPERATION
Understanding Spreader Operation
Proper and safe operation o f th e F a r m e r H e l p e r 27G Spreader requires: (1) being fam iliar w ith the
spreader's
operating com ponents and (2) heeding all safety precautions as stated in this manual.
The Spreader Operating Components
By definition, the left and right sides o f the spreader are determ ined while sitting on the tractor seat.
The follow ing operating com ponents are included with all M odel 21+131+ spreaders:
The left h a n d s p r e a d e r lev er engages thefloor apron chain which moves the manure to the
rear o f the spreader and into the beater.
The r ig h t h a n d s p re a d e r lev er engages the chain that drives the beater and spreads the
manure.
The follow ing are optional operating components included w ith some M odel 21+131+ spreaders (depending on
the specific model configuration ordered):
The jack s tan d d o lly w h eel o p tio n allow s easy m ovem ent o f the spreader around the stable
or bam ; also adjusts the height of the spreader to facilitate hook-up to the spreader tow ing vehicle.
The en d g ate helps to contain loads betw een spreading and also shields the operator during
spreading.
Connecting the Spreader to the Towing Vehicle
For operation in the field, the F a r m e r H e l p e r M odel 27G spreaders can be tow ed by a num ber o f vehicles-garden tractor, A TV , or utility vehicle. Please adhere to the follow ing procedure for connecting the spreader to
your tow ing vehicle. Attaching the spreader to the towing vehicle as instructed is necessary fo r safe
and proper operation o f the equipment.

Back the tow ing vehicle within a few inches o f the spreader hitch.
R efer to Figure 2A. D eterm ine the spreader hitch position required to allow the spreader to remain
parallel to the ground w ith relation to the tow ing vehicle.
N O T E : A s show n in Figure 2A , the adjustable hitch on the front o f th e spreader m ay be positioned in
A num ber o f w ays, by sliding up/down or inverting, to achieve a higher or lower positioning of the

Back the tow ing veh icle into the hitch until the holes of the spreader hitch line up w ith the vehicle hitch
point.
Fasten the spreader hitch to the vehicle draw bar/hitch point w ith a hitch pin that fits securely (i .e. so that
it will not com e out during spreader operation) and lock in place with the safety clip.
WA R N IN G : D am age to the spreader or other vehicle, as well as injury to the operator, m ay occur if
A properly-sized hitch pin is not installed as recom m ended. N ote that the installation o f the safety clip to
hold the hitch pin in place is also required for safe spreader operation.
Rem ove the w eight from the Jack /Dolly Wheel by lowering he spreader hitch on the vehicle draw bar/
Hitch point.
T o provide adequate ground clearance for operation, swing the j ack up into its resting
position (i.e. pull the spring-loaded pin out to release the jack and swing the jack upw ard, then allow
Th e p in to re-engage to h o ld th e jack in its upw ard position.)
Guidelines for Loading the Spreader for Operation
F a r m e r H e l p e r recom m ends that you load the spreader from the front toward the back to
facilitate
Easier unloading.
AT T E N T ION : N E V E R store m anure in the spreader between unloading tim es during critical cold
W eather m onths w hen a frozen load could result in severe equipm ent dam age (i.e. tom floor apron
chain).
D O N O T store w et m anure in the spreader (or keep the spreader outdoors w ith m anure in it)—

Operating the Spreader
Before proceeding with operation of the spreader, review all safety statements
as provided in Section 1 of this manual.
WA R N IN G : To prevent serious personal inj ury, ensure that A LL safety shields are in place on the
spreader before starting operation. N E V E R operate the spreader w ithout ALL safety shields in place.
AT T E NT ION / C A U T IO N : In order to obtain proper, aggressive spreading action, the spreader ground
speed must reach a minimum o f 3.0 miles per hour—the equivalent o f a comfortable walking pace.
(N ote th at the w heels drive the beater action.) H ow ever, spreading at speeds over 5.0 m iles per hour (i.e.
Sim ilar to a very brisk w alking pace) can cause excessive w ear or dam age to the equipm ent, w hich m ay void

Ensure that the spreader (and tow ing vehicle) are in a stopped position (i.e. N OT in m otion).
L if t the m anual end gate.
(Optional equipment)
Engage the right lever to start the beater.
Engage the left lever to start the action o f the apron floor chain (m oving the m aterial towards the rear
o f the spreader).
Begin m oving forward, and ensure that you are reaching the optimal operating speed for spreading
(at least 3.0 m ph, but not m ore than 5.0 m ph ). Rem em ber that this optim al speed is sim ilar to a
comfortable walking ace.
W hen the spreader is alm ost empty and there is very little m anure pushing against the beater,
disengage the right spreader lever (w hich controls the beater rotation).
A llow the apron chain to run the rem aining m anure out the back o f the spreader.
W hen com pletely unloaded, disengage the left spreader lever to stop the action o f t he apron
chain.
I f your spreader is equipped w ith a m anual end gate, return the end gate to the closed (down) position.
Refer to Section 3 in this m anual for m aintenance to be perform ed follow ing operation o f th e spreader.
IMPORTANT! After a few hours o f initial operation, watch and listen fo r any loose components.
Be aware that it may he necessary to re-tighten hitch hardware and/or wheel bolts: please refer to
Section 3 in this manual fo r the proper torque specifications.

SECTION 3: MAINTENANCE &
ADJUSTMENT
Guidelines for Regular Maintenance
WA R N IN G : All shields m ust be replaced after m aintenance or adjustm ent procedures are
perform ed. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
Perform ing regular m aintenance on your F a r m e r H e l p e r Spreader w ill help ensure optimal performance.
Please follow these guidelines for maintaining your spreader:
Clean the spreader once a w eek and before storing the unit for an extended period o f time.
AT T E N T ION : N E V E R store m anure in the spreader betw een unloading tim es during
critical cold weather m onths w hen a frozen load could result in severe equipm ent damage
(i .e. tom floor apron chain). Storing w et m anure in the spreader (or keeping the spreader
outdoors with manure in it) will accelerate rusting o f the steel.
C heck the spreader each tim e it is used for loose, bent, broken or m issing parts.
ATT E N T ION : During operation, listen for abnormal sounds w hich m ight indicate loose
parts or other equipm ent damage. Correct any parts problem s im m ediately; expanded parts
view s o f all spreader assem blies are provided in the A ppendixes at the back of this manual.
AT T E N T ION : For safe and proper operation o f the spreader, adhere to the follow ing
specifications for tightening the H IT C H H A R D W A R E ; failure to tighten all hitch hardware
securely m ay result in equipment damage.

Guidelines for Regular Maintenance (continued)
Periodically check the floor apron chain for tension/tightness (refer to Figure 3A).
P ro c e d u re fo r check in g / adju stin g th e flo o r a p ro n c h a in :
a) Pull up firmly on the center slat o f the floor apron chain.
N OTE : The force required to adequately pul1 up on the apron chain to determ ine the
tension m easures approximately 30 lbs.
b) If y o u can lift it higher than five (5) inches, the chain is too loose.
c) I f you can lift it not higher than three (3) inches, the chain is too tight.
d) If the chain needs adjustment, turn the front nut clockwise or counterclockwise until correct
tension/tightness is achieved. (See Figure 3B.) R ep eat fo r th e other side. M ake sure
that the chains on each side o f the apron are equally taut
