SECTION 2: ATTACHING THE SPREADER
TO THE TRACTOR
Connecting the Spreader to the Tractor
1. Back the tractor within a few inches of the spreader hitch.
2. Adjust the height of the hitch with the jack so the tractor drawbar matches the height of the
spreader hitch.
3. Back the tractor into the hitch until the holes of the spreader hitch and tractor drawbar line up.
4. Fasten the spreader hitch to the drawbar with a hitch pin that fits securely (i.e. so that it will
not come out during spreader operation).
WARNING: Damage to the spreader or other vehicle, as well as injury to the operator,
A may occur if a properly-sized hitch pin is not installed as recommended.
5. Remove the weight from the jack by lowering the spreader hitch on the drawbar.
6. Swing the jack to its horizontal position and lock it in position to provide maximum ground
clearance.
Assembling the Safety C h a i n
NOTE: The safety chain may be ordered as an optional component for the Millcreek 50G/75G
Ground Drive Spreaders and is strongly recommended if the spreader is to be moved any time on a
public roadway.
1. Refer to Figure 2A for an illustration of the hook-up of the safety chain.
2. Loop the chain around the spreader hitch as shown.
3. Wrap the hook end of the chain around the tractor drawbar support or other structural member of
the tractor frame.
4. Depress the spring-loaded pin, and slide the hook lock away from the hook.
5. After hooking the chain, slide the
hook lock toward the hook until
the spring-loaded pin snaps in
place. This will prevent
accidental disconnect of the hook.
A WARNING: For the safety chain
.. to be effective, the installation of
the chain should not allow more slack
than is necessary for movement during
spreader operation. Inspect the safety
chain regularly to check the condition
of the links and locking/hooking
mechanisms; replace the chain as soon as
weakness/breakage is noted.

SECTION 3 : OPERATION
Understanding Spreader Operation
Proper and safe operation of the Millcreek 50G/75G Spreader requires: (1) being familiar with the
spreader's operating components and (2) heeding all safety precautions as stated in this manual.
The Spreader Operating Components
By definition, the left and right sides of the spreader are determined while sitting on the tractor seat.
The Cable Assembly, which consists of two cables on the righthand side of the spreader (see Figure
34A), is used to control the operation of the spreader. One cable engages the chain that drives both the
beaters and the apron chain to push the manure toward the back of the spreader for disbursement, while
the other chain disengages the operation.
Guidelines for Loading the Spreader for Operation
• Millcreek recommends that you load the spreader from the front toward the back to
facilitate easier unloading.
• ATTENTION: NEVER store manure in the spreader between unloading times during
critical cold weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage
(i.e. tom floor apronchain).
• DO NOT store wet manure in the spreader (or keep the spreader outdoors with manure in it)-
doing so will accelerate rusting of the steel.
Operating the Spreader
WARNING! Before proceeding with operation of the spreader, review all safety
statements as provided in Section 1 of this manual.
WARNING: The rear safety shield MUST be installed as specified prior to operation.
.. NEVER operate the spreader without all safety shields in place. Failure to install the rear safety
shield before operation may result in serious personal injury or death.
ATTENTION/ CAUTION: 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. (Note that the wheels drive the beater action.) However, spreading at speeds over 5.0 miles per
hour (i.e. similar to a very brisk walking pace) can cause excessive wear or damage to the equipment.
3-1
Operating the Spreader (continued)
1. Ensure that the spreader (and tractor) are not in motion (in a stopped position).
2. If you have a spreader with the endgate option, lift the endgate.
3. Refer to Figure 3A. To engage the beaters and apron chain for spreading action, pull on the
longer cable (shown as the "Engagement Ring" in Figure 3A).
4. Ensure that you are reaching the optimal operating speed for spreading (at least 3.0 mph, but not
more than 5.0 mph). Remember that this optimal speed is similar to a comfortable walking pace.
5. When the spreader box is completely unloaded, disengage the chain drive by pulling the shorter
cable (shown as the "Disengagement Ring" in Figure 3A).
6. Refer to Section 4 in this manual for maintenance to be performed following operation of the
spreader.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENT
Guidelines for Regular Maintenance
A WARNING: All shields must be replaced after maintenance or adjustment procedures are
4 performed. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.
Performing regular maintenance on you Millcreek Spreader will help ensure optimal performance.
Please follow these guidelines for maintaining your spreader:
• Clean the spreader after each use.
• Check the spreader each time it is used for loose, bent, broken or missing parts.
ATTENTION: During operation, listen for abnormal sounds which might indicate loose
parts or other equipment damage. Correct any parts problems immediately; expanded parts
views of all spreader assemblies are provided in the Appendixes at the back of this manual.
• ATTENTION: NEVER store manure in the spreader between unloading times during
critical cold weather months when a frozen load could result in severe equipment damage
(i.e. tom floor apron chain). Storing wet manure in the spreader (or keeping the spreader
outdoors with manure in it) will accelerate rusting of the steel.
• Grease all lube fittings every 10 loads.
ATTENTION: All lube fittings are SAE standard. Lubricate non-sealed fittings until grease
begins to seep from the fitting. DO NOT lubricate or oil the bushings--they are oil
impregnated. (Oil will collect dust and dirt, causing the bushing to wear faster.) Worn
grease fittings that will not hold the gun and/or fittings with a stuck check ball must be
replaced.

Guidelines for Regular Maintenance (continued)
• Always use an ag-traction implement tire on the drive wheel.
Inspect the safety chain regularly to check the condition of the links and locking/hooking
mechanisms; replace the chain as soon as weakness/breakage is noted.
• Apply chain lube once a month to the floor apron chain.
• Periodically check the floor apron chain for tension/tightness (refer to Figure 4B).
Procedure for checking/adjusting the floor apron chain:
a) Pull up on the center slat of the floor apron chain.
b) If you can lift it higher than 7 inches, the chain is too loose.
c) If you can lift it no higher than 4 inches, the chain is too tight.
d) lfthe chain needs adjustment, use a 3/4" wrench to loosen the two side nuts on each
side of the spreader box as shown in Figure 4B. Turn the front nut clockwise or
counterclockwise with a 9/16" wrench until correct tension/tightness is achieved.
Repeat for the other side. Make sure that the chains on each side o
f the apron are
equally taut.
e) Re-tighten the side nuts.

Procedures for Spreader Adjustment
Problems with spreader operation may indicate that certain adjustments are required to restore proper
functioning. The following procedures address common problems which may be encountered in
spreader operation.
Adjusting the Apron Speed
Depending upon the consistency of material being spread and/or the desired thickness of spreading,
adjustments to the apron chain speed may be made to achieve the desired spreading action. The speed of
the apron chain can be varied by adjusting the position of the Holding Pawl (as shown in Figure 4C).
Note that the factory setting is at the maximum speed which holds every third notch.
For Maximum Apron Chain Speed:
(a) Rotate the Crankarm Sprocket until the short crankarm is in the horizontal forward position.
(b) Loosen the nut that secures the Holding Pawl.
(c) Rotate the Web Ratchet so that the Driving Pawl is touching the bottom of the notch on the
Web Ratchet.
(d) Adjust the Holding Pawl to obtain a 3/8" gap between the end of the pawl and bottom of the
notch as shown in Figure 4C. Tighten the nut to secure the Holding Pawl.
For Slower Apron Chain Speed:
(a) Repeat steps (a) through (c) above.
(b) Adjust the Holding Pawl to obtain an 1/8" gap between the end of the pawl and the bottom of
the notch. Tighten the nut to secure the Holding Pawl.

Procedures for Spreader Adjustment (continued)
Re-installing or Replacing the Drive Chain
Backward motion (backing up) with the spreader engaged will most probably cause the drive chain to
come off the sprockets. The following procedure explains how to re-install the chain should this ever
become necessary.
1. Remove the safety shields from the spreader box.
2. Re-loop the drive chain around the sprockets as shown in Figure 4D.
3. Re-install the safety shields.
Should it ever become necessary to replace the drive chain, do so according to the following procedure:
1. Remove the safety shields from the spreader box, and remove the damaged/worn drive chain. At
this time, also inspect the condition of the sprockets to ensure that they are not damaged or worn.
2. Thread the replacement chain ends around the sprockets as shown in Figure 4D.
3. Connect the chain ends to make a continuous loop. Note that no further adjustment is needed
because the front sprocket is spring-loaded.
4. Re-install the safety shields.
