Position the stop pin to stop the flow regulator handle at

the desired setting on the regulator scale.

1. 

Choose the appropriate spreader spout and position
the arc adjuster as needed for the application rate
required.

2. 

Close the regulator disc, using the toggle switch on
the control box or the flow control handle.
