INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing your Tar River Equipment Pendular Spreader. Your spreader is design to be used on 540 rpm tractors. It is important to properly maintain and keep in place all safety guards and shields that came with your tiller.
SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS Note the use of the signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION with the safety messages. The appropriate signal word for each has been selected using the following guidelines: DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or severe injury.
SAFETY DECAL CARE • Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times. • Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible. • Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign. • Safety signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory. How to Install Safety Signs: •...
DURING OPERATION • Children should not be allowed on the product. • Clear the area of small children and bystanders before moving the feeder. • If using a towing unit, securely attach feeder by using a hardened 3/4” pin, a metal retainer, and safety chains if required.
• When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under forty kph (20 mph) at night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow-moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem. • Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic. •...
Assembly Note: All hardware needed for assembly will be found in the crate and the hardware bag of the spreader. The assembly will be easier if all parts are loosely assembled before tightening the hardware. To assemble the SQTF spreader proceed as follows: 1.
Hold the half shafts next to each other and mark them so each end is approximately ½” from hitting the end of the telescopic profiles. Shorten the inner and out guard tubes equally. Shorten the inner and outer profiles by the same length as the guard tubes. Using a rattail file, round off all sharp edges and burrs.
The working speed depends on ground conditions. Only a test run will enable you to gauge the optimal working speed for your conditions. Optional Filter The filter grate is a simple bolt-on accessory available for pendular spreader models and is ideal for filtering clots and foreign objects from the material being spread.

Service After each use: 1. Be sure to thoroughly wash the machine without using excessive pressure, especially on the moving parts. It is particularly important to wash the implement after using salt or fertilizer. This will help prevent the caustic chemicals in the salt and fertilizer from destroying the metal of the machine.
