Step 6:
Once the tray is in place check that the tray is sealed
and flush against the hopper sides. To check if the tray is properly
located, push the tray edges downwards.
Step 7:
Install the two quarter turn fasteners (see figure
)
through the two exposed tray holes and push down and twist a
quarter turn to secure.
Step 8:
Lastly, connect the free end of the PIVOT ROD
into
the PIVOT linkage at the bottom of the CONTROL ROD. Position
the CLIP
into the free hole and push the PIVOT ROD
into the
clip.
TIP:
The CLIP
may have a burr in the hole, use a Phillips
screwdriver to remove the burr (see figure
).
Step 9:
When the PIVOT ROD
is positioned inside the CLIP
push the free end of the CLIP
over the PIVOT ROD
to firmly
secure the rod and the clip together.
SPREADER CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
HIGH-OUTPUT and LOW-OUTPUT TRAY
:
Make
sure the drop holes in the bottom of the hopper are
FULLY CLOSED
when the RATE CONTROL LEVER is resting on
the Stop #0.
If the shut-off is not set correctly, please adjust CONTROL ROD at the
PIVOT
to position the shut-off for
FULLY CLOSED
at position at the Stop #0 on the
RATE CONTROL LEVER
. As a side note, the HIGH-OUTPUT and LOW-OUTPUT TRAYS
do not include or use a horizontal agitator
.
Calibration Adjustment
Review the CONTROL LEVER position to confirm that it is set so that the
forward edge of the LEVER is resting at #0 (the stop) and the drop holes
are closed. Move the spreader back & forth to ensure that the cam is
positioned to allow the oscillating shut-off to close fully. If the shut-off is
not properly positioned, you will need to adjust the CONTROL ROD at the
PIVOT BRACKET shown below.
TIP:
If your shut-off is not able to
CLOSE
fully, loosen the top nut a few turns, then tighten the lower nut so that it allows
you to push the
shut-off fully closed
. Next, tighten each nut so that they contact the PIVOT BRACKET without moving it,
and then carefully tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjustment as outlined above.
