Product Information
The Assembly Instruction provided in this manual is an essential part of the machine. It is mandatory for the suppliers of new and second-hand machines to deliver the Operator Manual/Assembly Instruction with the machine and provide it to the customer. The Assembly Instruction provides essential safety and accident prevention instructions that must be followed while assembling and using the machine.
Product Usage Instructions
Before using the machine, please read the Assembly Instruction carefully. Store it carefully for future use. Follow the below instructions for assembling the hopper cover onto either 3 or 4-sided extensions sets or directly onto the basic unit:
- Attach the articulation brackets onto the spreader using the nuts, bolts, and synthetic washers provided. Ensure that the right and left-hand brackets are correctly positioned and not inverted. Left and right-hand brackets are indicated by corresponding decals and refer to the position when viewed in the direction of travel. When correctly positioned, the large hopper cover opening will be facing the rear and the hopper can be optimally filled. If fitting an AP 19 hopper cover to the Venta TF, mount the articulation brackets in the opposite way.
- Lay the hopper cover on top of the spreading hopper so that the hopper cover extension (1) is facing the rear. If fitting an AP 19 hopper cover to Venta TF, the hopper extension must face forward in the direction of travel.
- Connect the middle link to both articulation brackets. Initially, only fit the outer bolts and do not fully tighten.
- Assemble the inner bolts and tighten all four bolts firmly.
- Connect the front link to both articulation brackets. Initially, only fit the outer bolts and do not fully tighten.
- Fold down the hopper cover and insert the inner bolts (2) (length: 25 mm) on both sides from behind and through the articulation bracket, the link, and the hopper cover.
- Mount the washer (3) and knob handle (4) on both screws and tighten all four screws.
- Repeat step 7 for both sides of the hopper cover.

When fitting an AP 19 hopper cover to the Venta TF, the articulation brackets must be mounted the other way round!
-
Lay the hopper cover on top of the spreading hopper so that the hopper cover extension (1) is facing the rear.
When fitting an AP 19 hopper cover to the Venta TF, the hopper extension must face forward, in the direction of travel.
-
Connect the middle link to both articulation brackets. Initially only fit the outer bolts and do not fully tighten.
-
Now assemble the inner bolts and tighten all four bolts firmly.
-
Connect the front link to both articulation brackets. Initially, only fit the outer bolts and do not fully tighten.
-
Fold down the hopper cover and insert the inner bolts (2) (length: 25 mm) on both sides from behind and through the articulation bracket, the link and the hopper cover.
