Toro PA-17, Operator'S Manual

Page: 3 / 8

FLOW REGULATOR: Determines the rate at which
the material flows from the hopper. The highest number
setting (7) on the regulator scale indicates the largest
opening, for maximum flow of material. The lowest
number setting (1) indicates the smallest opening, for a
minimum flow of material. At (0) the disc is closed.
Note the stop pin which is chained to the flow regulator:
a. If the spreader is not equipped with the flow control
kit, the stop pin is used to stop the flow regulator
handle in the setting of the desired rate of material
flow.
b. If the spreader is equipped with the flow control kit,
the stop pin is NOT USED. The rate of material
flow is controlled by the limit switches.
IF THE SPREADER IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE
FLOW CONTROL KIT, THE FLOW CONTROL HAN-
DLE SHOWN IN FIG. 3 IS USED AS DESCRIBED
BELOW.
