Assembly Instructions Tools Required: Bolt Pack: a. 9/16" wrench b. 7/16" wrench c. 3/4" open end wrench d. hammer e. pliers f. grease gun g. wood block 16 ea. 3/8 x 1-1/4 inch hex bolts 12 ea. 3/8 x 1 inch hex bolts 28 ea. 3/8 inch flat washers 28 ea. 3/8 inch lock washers 24 ea. 3/8 inch hex nuts 4 ea. 5/16 x 1 inch hex bolts 4 ea. 5/16 inch hex nuts 4 ea. 5/16 inch lock nuts 8 ea. 1/2 inch stud nuts 2 ea. 1 inch flat washers 2 ea. 1/4 x 1-112 cotter pins 1. Determine the front from the rear of main chassis. The front is the end which has the angle iron side rails extending beyond the boards and has four holes close together. Set the entire main chassis upon supports, such as 5 gallon buckets, until wheels are installed. 2. Mount axle assembly (figure 1) using the second set of holes from the rear of unit. Insert 3/8 x 1-1/4 bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers, then tighten. Mount belt stabilizer bracket using (drivers side) rear axle bolt.   3. Install hub onto axle (figures 1,2) pulley end first. Secure with a 1 inch washer and a 1/4 x 1-1/2 inch cotter pin. The 6 inch pulley hub assembly goes on driver side (left side) and 10 inch pulley assembly goes on passenger side (right). 4. Install the drag chain drive transmission (see figure 2). Slide square drive stub on lower rear corner of transmission over drag chain drive shaft, align two slotted holes on bottom of transmission with the rear two holes on the driver side (left side if standing at the rear of spreader). Insert 3/8 x 1-1/4 bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers. 5. Install the beater drive transmission (see figure 3). Mount this transmission on the opposite side of the spreader (MAKE SURE THE TWO TRANSMISSIONS ARE PARALLEL WITH EACH OTHER ACROSS REAR OF SPREADER). 6. Install both 5/8 x 81 inch V-belts onto pulleys (see figures 2, 3). Insure bottom of belt is on top of the clutching idler pulley. 7. Slide the wheels onto the hub bolts with the valve stem facing outward. Install lug nuts and tighten securely.

8. Install tongue on front of unit by aligning rear holes on tongue unit with the front holes in main frame. Insert 3/8 x 1-1/4 inch bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers through all four holes and tighten. 9. Assemble the front panel by first attaching the left and right triangular steel panels, as shown in figure 5. Make sure the angled side of the panels are facing towards the rear of the spreader. Align all four holes and insert, but do not tighten, 3/8 x 1-1/4 inch bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers. The large front steel panel mounts to the inside of the lips. Align all six holes making sure the top and bottom curled lips on the front panel are facing forward. Align keyhole knot holders in top holes on both sides. Insert 3/8 x 1 inch bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers, then tighten. Tighten the four bolts on the side triangular panels. 10. Mount beater bar assemblies using flanged wood bearings (figure 6). The top beater is the one with the spreader tines parallel on top and bottom of the bar. The bottom beater has the alternate spreader tines. To install, slide the square end of the beater bar assembly over the square drive stub projecting from the beater drive transmission. Slide flanged wood bearings over opposite end of beater bar. Align holes on bearing flange with holes on drag chain transmission. Insert 5/16 x 1 inch hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers, then tighten. 11. Insert rear stabilizer bar into square tube on each transmission. Slight hammer tapping might be necessary using a wood block between hammer and bar. Insure the bar is not cocked to preclude binding of beaters during operation. 12. Insert side boards into slots provided by front panels and slots in transmissions. Insert angle iron side stakes to provide outward support of the side boards (see figure 7). 13. Insert ropes through two side stake loops and keyhole knot holder. At the front, tie a knot into each rope so that the clutch pulley disengages when the knot is secured in front of the keyhole knot holder. 14. Install transmission shields (figure 7) using 3/8 x 1 inch hex bolts, lock washers, and flat washers on rear two holes. Use 3/8 x 1 bolt, nut, washer, and lock washer at lower front hole to secure bracket to shield, and use the front transmission mounting bolt to secure the other end of bracket. 15. Grease the two wheel bearings at the fittings located on the hubs. Grease the beater bars at the fittings located on the right side (figure 8). Grease drag chain drive shaft at the fitting located at bottom rear of the drag chain drive transmission.

Operating Instructions

The basic operation of the Model 1200 manure spreader is identical to full farm sized spreaders. The entire manure load is gradually fed toward the rear beater at a rate compatible with the rear beater's ability to disperse the manure. The rear beater's initial drive is a V-belt to allow slippage should excessive loads be encountered; thus preventing severe damage to more expensive parts.

The continuous motion of the drag chain is accomplished by the driver's side wheel transmitting force to a combination V-belt and chain driving transmission.

The double rear beater rotation is driven by the passenger side wheel transmitting force to a similar transmission. The drag chain and rear beaters have separate clutch ropes, both of which run from the transmissions to the keyhole catches.

Detailed Operating Procedures Are As Follows:

1.	Insure that the drag chain tension is such that a small sag (3-4 inches) is apparent underneath the front of the load bed. Drag chain tension is adjusted by using the two idler sprocket positioning bolts located at the front of the load bed.
2.	Disengage the drag chain and beater drives by pulling rope knot through keyhole and hooking in slot.
3.	Load desired material to be spread. CAUTION: Avoid loading rocks, metal, or other items that could become dangerous flying objects during unloading. Also, string and wire should be avoided to prevent winding on the beater while unloading. Small loads are recommended until familiarization with limitations and capabilities of the Model 1200 are satisfactory. NOTE: If sawdust bedding is used, it may be desirable to utilize an end gate. Slots located in front of the stabilizer bar are designed to accept a 3/4 inch x 24 inch x 39-3/4 inch plywood end gate. This will increase the load capacity, while decreasing the amount of spillage that may occur during transport.
4.	Upon reaching the desired location of spreading, engage the two clutches by releasing the rope knot from the keyhole catch.
5.	The spreader works most efficiently when being pulled at speeds of 3 to 5 miles per hour (fast walk). If the beater stops rotating during spreading operation, stop immediately and manually rotate the beater until free (this will prevent the manure from becoming further jammed into the beater). Also, when turning corners while spreading, it is better to make left hand turns so that beater speeds and spreading action are maintained.
