DESCRIPTION OF THE WIDE
SPIN
1540 EC
LIGHTSPREAD AND HEAVYSPREAD SETTINGS
The WIDE
SPIN
1540 EC has two settings to control
top dressing material volume rates and the spread
patterns. The LIGHTSPREAD setting is used for
frequent top dressing applications and provides the
widest broadcast pattern with a “light” volume of top
dressing material. The HEAVYSPREAD setting is used
for narrower broadcast pattern with a “heavy” volume
of top dressing material. Changing between Lightspread
and Heavyspread requires repositioning the spread
diverter, changing spinner and conveyor speed settings,
changing the metering gate setting, and repositioning
the spinner wheel vane angles (vane change required
only during very heavy application).
