Set-up and Operation
Spread Pattern Adjustments
Before attempting any spread pattern adjustments, make
sure the actual spread pattern has been determined.
Spinner Blade Positions
The spinner blades are the primary means of adjustment.
To adjust a spinner blade, remove the nut (1) and washer
(2) from the bolt securing the blade to the spinner.
Reposition the blade and reinsert the bolt into the
appropriate hole, securing with washer and nut.
NOTE: Any adjustment to a blade must also be
duplicated to the blade opposite the spinner
shaft. Also, spinner blade settings should be
identical to the opposite spinner.
Rear Deflector Adjustment
To adjust rear deflector (1), loosen the nut (2) on each
side of deflector. Slide the deflector forward or back
accordingly. Retighten hardware when deflector is in the
desired position.
Repeat the procedure for the deflector on the opposite
side of the spreader. Make sure both deflectors are in the
same position.
Spinner RPM
Hold an electronic or mechanical tachometer near one of
the spinners to check the spinner speed.
NOTE: For spreaders with a spinner speed sensor,
speed can be checked from the controller.
For spreaders with a controlled spinner drive
(CSD), speed is set by controller. Refer to your
controller manual for setup instructions.
