ADDITIONAL TIPS AND TROUBLE
-
SHOOTING
1.
Causes of packing material in the bottom of hopper:
Filling unit at barn then driving to field
Using material that has collected moisture from storage, or material being used on
extremely damp days.
Use of poor grade material
Using hopper extension when material is not used at a fast rate
2.
Cause of material blowing on operator during spreading:
Unit mounted too high about ground. This will cause the fan draft to pick up object
tionable odors from material, including dust, and carry them back to the operator.
Using material that is too dusty
Driving into wind. You should operate vehicle at a slight angle so that the material
blows to one side
3.
Hopper extension is recommended for oats only.
4.
If the motor does not operate correctly, check connection, battery, generator, and
switch. Make sure unit is grounded securely to vehicle.
5.
The opening must be opened wider for faster speeds in MPH of vehicle, and set nar-
rower for slower speeds, to ensure proper amount of material on the ground.
6.
If spread is too far to the left when facing broadcaster, move pivot plate so that the
opening aligns with a higher letter. If spread center is to the right, move pivot plate so
that the opening aligns with a lower letter. Be sure to tighten pivot plate capscrews after
adjusting.
7.
The poorer grade of material, the narrower the spread and more difficulties will be en-
countered. Therefore, we recommend you use good, dust
-
free material.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Store this model in a dry place so that the motor will not draw dampness. Be sure to
check motor so that it runs freely when it is to be used next. Run broadcaster empty a
few minutes before using after long periods of storage.
2.
Clean inside of hopper and seed plate with a dry or lightly dampened clean rag.
3.
Do not allow moisture/water to set on the motor shaft. This can cause internal damgage
to the motor and will void warranty.
