Drive-Wheel-Release Lever
The drive-wheel-release lever is located above the
platform on the left side (
Figure 9 ).
Use the drive-wheel-release lever to disengage the
hydrostatic-drive system to move the machine by
hand.
•
To push or pull the machine, move the
drive-wheel-release lever up.
•
To operate the machine, move the
drive-wheel-release lever down.
Spreader Controls
Deflector Gate Control
The deflector-gate control is located to the right of the
hour meter on the control console (

Use the deflector-gate control to temporarily stop
the discharge of granular materials from the left side
of the spreader. Close the deflector gate with the
control when it is not desirable to broadcast granular
materials onto sidewalks, parking lots, or patios.
•
Push the knob for the deflector-gate control down
to close the gate and temporarily deflect the
granular materials.
•
Pull the knob up to open the deflector gate for full
granular broadcasting.
Spreader-Pattern Control
The spreader-pattern control is located to the right
of the deflector-gate control at the control console
(
Figure 10 ).
Use the spreader-pattern control to broadcast a
heavier pattern of granular material to the left or right
side of the machine.
•
To broadcast a heavier pattern to the left, unlock
the spreader-pattern control, pull the control up
slightly, and lock the control.
•
To broadcast a heavier pattern to the right, unlock
the spreader-pattern control, push the control
down slightly, and lock the control.
Wide-distribution Impeller-Gate Lever
The wide-distribution impeller-gate lever is the fourth
lever located at the top center of the control console
(
Figure 10 ).
•
To broadcast a wide pattern of granular material,
pull the wide-distribution impeller-gate lever
rearward fully to the full open position.
•
To close the impeller gate, push the
wide-distribution impeller-gate lever forward full
closed position.
Narrow-distribution Impeller-Gate Lever
The narrow-distribution impeller-gate lever is the fifth
lever located at the top center of the control console
(
Figure 10 ).
•
To broadcast a narrow pattern of granular material,
pull the narrow-distribution impeller-gate lever
rearward fully to the limited O
PEN
position.
•
To close the impeller gate, push the
wide-distribution impeller-gate lever forward fully.
Note:
Only the wide-distribution impeller-gate
lever closes the impeller gate. Pushing the
wide-distribution impeller-gate lever forward also
resets the narrow-distribution impeller-gate lever
to the forward position.
Narrow-Spreader Distribution Flow-Rate Knob
The narrow-spreader distribution flow-rate knob is
located below the wide- and narrow-impeller-gate
levers (
Figure 10 ).
Use the narrow-spreader distribution-flow-rate knob to
control the discharge rate of granular material from the
hopper onto the impeller when the narrow-distribution
impeller-gate lever is in the O
PEN
position (limited).
