The following procedure is a guide:
NOTE: Do NOT fill speader with material
1� Field test over any suitable course which allows vehicle to be driven at speeds to be used while
spreading�
2� Ensure unit has been properly serviced, that the hydraulic reservoir is full and gate valve under
reservoir is fully open� Do not load spreader�
3� Run spinners at 500 RPM�
Take proper safety precautions when observing conveyor and spinner speed while
vehicle is in motion! These may include use of suitable mirrors clamped to permit
observation by a safely seated observer, following the spreader in another vehicle
at a safe distance, or other suitable means� Do not stand on fenders, in body or on
any part of spreader as there is danger of falling off the vehicle or into moving parts!
Use great care in performing this test! Failure to comply with this requirement will
result in death or serious injury�
4� Start engine� Turn control to “on’’ position� Engage PTO and allow to run at fast idle long enough
to bring hydraulic oil up to operating temperature� Spinners should revolve at moderate speed and
the conveyor should not move�
5� Refer to controller’s operation manual for conveyor operating instructions� Set program to
operational mode and begin forward travel� Move conveyor switch to “on’’ position� Conveyor
should start immediately when vehicle moves and should continue to run at speeds which should
vary directly with the vehicle’s ground speed; the conveyor should speed up as vehicle speed
increases and slow down as vehicle speed reduces� Spinner speed should remain constant when
engine speed is above minimum operating range�
