Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 10:
Install spreader assembly as follows:
1.
Remove spin spreader and all component from the
shipping box.
2. (Optional) Install restrictor plate (#2) as shown on top
of existing nuts. Install stainless steel hex huts (#8)
and tighten.
3. Being careful not to damage the electrical wiring, drill
out pop rivet and remove wire clip (#6).
4. Insert spin motor wiring into the new wire clip (#6).
NOTE:
The restrictor plate (#2) is used to restrict
product flow out of the two hopper openings. Some
applications will require removal of the restrictor
plate to allow a higher discharge rate. Other
applications will require the restrictor plate be
installed to decrease the discharge rate.
5. (Optional) Attach spin deflector (#3) and new wire
clip (#6) to the lower channel bracket with
1/4"-20 x 3/4" GR5 hex flange serrated screws (#7)
and wing nuts (#9). Hand tighten wing nuts.
6. Bolt 5 1/2" x 14 3/4" splash plate (#13) to the vertical
tube with #10-32 x 2" flat head machine screws (#15)
and nylock nuts (#14). Tighten nuts.
7.
Slide spreader mounting bracket (G) into disc frame
support tube (H). Secure with 5/16" x 2 1/2" clevis
pin (#10) and hair pin cotter (#11).
NOTE:
The spin deflector (#3) diverts seed to 48"
width. It can be installed depending on your seed
dispersal needs.
Installation Note:
Spin deflector (#3) can be
installed without removing hopper (#11). Install spin
deflector (#3) by holding mounting tabs to the rear
and slide deflector between hopper (#11) and spin
plate (#12). Rotate deflector mounting tabs around to
the front to line up with side holes.
