MACHINE OPERATION
The model 180 Even Flow is designed to unload product from trucks, trailers and other equipment
quickly, keeping an even flow of product moving throughout the rest of the system.
The electrical control panel is located on the right side of the Even Flow. Hydraulic valves for jacks are
located next to the jacks. The hydraulic valve for the steering and pump flow control cable for drive is
located on the right side of the discharge end. The diverter valve has to be pulled out to run wheel
drive and pushed in for the bottom belt. The control cable for the elevator/boom pump is next to the
electrical panel. It has to be pulled out and locked to drive elevator belt. The valve for the elevator lift is
on the right side of the intake end.
SAFETY CHECK INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure main disconnect and all switches are off.
2. Look at Even Flow’s voltage sticker. Make sure power source voltage is the same as the Even
Flow voltage. Also, make sure the power source and cord size is adequate to handle amp load of
Even Flow. (Any questions, please call your nearest service center.)
3. Plug Even Flow in and turn main disconnect “ON”.
4. For phasing it is important to select only one pump motor switch. Turning switch to “HAND”, only
for a second, to make sure motor is running in the right direction. Then continue to run desired
motors.
5. When finished running Even Flow, turn switches to “OFF”, and then turn main disconnect off.
6. Do not forget to unplug machine before any maintenance or repair is initiated on Even Flow.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION
1. Remove tow tongue and replace steering bracket and cylinder.
2. Follow steps 1-4 from above.
3. Turn electrical switches for bottom belt to “HAND”. Pull the diverter valve handle, and the pump
control cable out, (turning the cable handle clockwise will lock cable in place). Then move Even
Flow into place.
4. Lower and secure jacks. Keeping Even Flow level and taking a little weight off the steering axle.
5. Raise boom, with the hydraulic valve at the side of electrical panel, just enough to remove trailing
brace. Remove trailing brace on wheel sensor also.
6. Push diverter valve in completely. Turn truck, hydraulic, top belt, and bottom belt switches to
“AUTO”. This will allow the Even Flow bin to fill automatically. When full the boom sensors will
automatically shut down the truck and top belt.
7. Pull the variable speed control cable, at the side of the electrical panel, out completely and lock
cable in place. This will engage the pump for the elevator/boom drive. After trucks empty
disengage the pump using the control cable. This will stop the elevator/boom drive.
8. The conveyor system switch, when turned to “ON”, is designed to work with a complete system,
(use the receptacle at the discharge end of the machine). It will only shut off the bottom belt if the
system is shut down, allowing the truck to continue to unload. To run the bottom belt by an outside
source without a system, a start/stop switch and plug is on the discharge end of the Even Flow.
This start/stop switch will only work when the conveyor system switch is turned to “OFF”, and will
only shut off the bottom belt.

result of such use. The user shall be solely responsible for such risks.
Operating the machine in accordance with its designated use also includes observing the instructions
specified in the operating manual and complying with the inspection and maintenance directives.
The EVENFLOW may only be operated, serviced and repaired by persons who are familiar with the

DANGERS, OPERATING ERRORS AND EXEMPTION FROM LIABILITY
1. No responsibility will be accepted for possible dangers arising from operating the machine in a way
which does not comply with its designated use.
2. Damage to agricultural produce particularly vulnerable to damage during processing cannot be
entirely ruled out. Weather conditions, the quality of the produce and many other circumstances
beyond our or the operator’s control have an influence on the vulnerability to damage the produce
being processed. For example, when processing the submerged weight, the manuring (nitrogen
content), the degree of maturity (firmness of the skin), the temperatures during processing and
many other circumstances can have an influence on the vulnerability to damage. These examples
do not claim to be exhaustive.
3. To avoid damage to agricultural produce the user must adapt the machine to the respective
operating conditions. The results produced by the machine must be constantly monitored and
checked.
4. SPUDNIK shall not be liable for any damage to agricultural produce and other items which occurs
as a result of operating and adjustment errors or other incorrect usage.
5. SPUDNIK accepts no liability for any damage caused as a result of operators not complying with
the designated use of the machine. This also applies to damage to agricultural produce which,
because of certain external influences, cannot be avoided with the current state of the art.
