Parking Brake - Spyker Spreaders ROS 5 S100-12011 Manual Del Operador

Operating Instructions
3. SPEED CONTROL LEVER:
The speed control lever limits the forward speed of the
unit by limiting the travel of the forward control lever.
"Application speed" sets the unit's ground speed to
about 3 mph. Use a slower speed while learning how
to use and control the unit.
4. GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVERS:
Located on the right side of the control panel is the
forward ground speed control lever. The left lever is for
reverse. These two levers control the maximum output
of the hydrostatic transaxle and thus the ground speed
of the spreader independent of the engine speed.
Pulling the right lever rearward increases the forward
speed and pulling the left lever rearward Increases the
reverse speed. Do not move both levers in unison, only
pull one at a time. When the levers are moved in unison
they will place excessive pressure on the cables,
which could cause them to break. To start the engine,
ensure both levers are in their neutral position.
5. HOPPER SHUT-OFF LEVER:
Open and close the hopper gate by pushing the lever
forward to open the gate, and pulling the lever rearward
to close the gate.
6. ACCUWAY SPREAD CALIBRATION LEVER:
To adjust spread pattern for uniform distribution, adjust
the Accuway. See
Adjustment Section for instructions.
7. SIDE DEFLECTOR
Raise and lower the side deflector by pushing the lever
forward to lower the deflector, and pulling the lever
rearward to raise the deflector.
8. FREEWHEEL ROD:
A rod is located in the platform area. When the rod is
pulled out, the spreader can be manually pushed
forward or pulled in reverse. Push rod in to engage
transmission.

9. PARKING BRAKE:

The brake is activated by the lever in the foot platform
area. Press down on the lever to engage the park
brake, and lift up the lever to release. (See Figure 5).
B. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Check the drive wheel tire pressures. Drive wheels
should be inflated to 15 psi. Front wheels are foam-
filled and do not need to be inflated.

3. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
4. Lubricate all fittings listed in the maintenance section.
5. Follow start procedure in Break-In and Operation
Section Step 5.
6. Push freewheel rod in and disengage parking brake.
Ensure that the ground speed control levers are in the
neutral position. The machine should stand still while
the engine is running. If the machine starts to creep
forward or to the rear in this situation, then the forward
or rear speed control cable must be adjusted. Locate
the cable nuts underneath the control panel shown in
Figure 6.
7. Loosen the nut on the cable and adjust until the drive
wheel stops moving. Moving the cable towards the
rear of the machine decreases speed, while moving
cable to the front of machine increases speed. Re-
tighten nut.
C. BREAK-IN AND OPERATION
1. Make certain you thoroughly understand all of the
safety precautions before you attempt to operate this
machine.
2. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL.
Do not screw in oil dipstick to oil filler neck to check oil
level. See Engine Manual. Fill to the proper level with
SAE 10W-30 engine oil. Tighten oil gauge to filler neck
when done.
