1.  Loosen 5/16” nuts (A).
2.  Rotate threaded rods (B) to adjust ground speed.  

Increasing the visible length of the threaded rods will 
slow ground speed, and decreasing the visible length 
of the threaded rods (B) will increase the ground 
speed.  The left rod adjusts reverse speed, and the 
right rod adjusts the forward speed.  The two rods 
can be adjusted independently.

3.  Re-tighten 5/16” nuts (A) when you are fi nished 

adjusting the ground speed.

4.  The material calibration chart on this machine 

assumes a ground speed of 2 mph is used.  If ground 
speed is changed, the material fl ow rate needs to be 
recalibrated.
