amounts of top dressing material. The metering gate
opening size is controlled in two calibrations, Lightspread
and Heavyspread. The metering gate stop pull pin on
the side of the metering gate mount must be pulled out
to allow the metering gate to be moved into the larger
opening size for Heavyspread.
Heavyspread Diverter and Diverter Locking Knob:
The Heavyspread Diverter changes the spread
pattern during Heavyspread operation. During
Heavyspread, the diverter should be in the
lowered position, at position B or C. During light
application, the diverter should be locked in the
raised position, at position A.
The diverter can be set in positions other than
fully raised or lowered. Because of the differences
in top dressing material, setting the diverter in a
partially raised or lowered position may correct or “trim”
the spread to achieve the desired results.
Spinner Assembly Tilt Control Handle and Locking
Handle:
The tilt of the spinner assembly
can be changed by moving the tilt control
handle. Total movement is approximately
26° degrees. The tilt angle can be
changed up or down to vary or correct
the width of spread without changing
the speed of the spinner wheels. The
tilt angle of the assembly can be also
be changed to correct for the difference
in hitch heights of different tow vehicles.
The locking handle will keep the spinner
assembly locked into position.
Metering Gate and Metering Gate Adjusting Handle:
The Metering gate regulates
the amount of top dressing
material released from the
hopper. The metering gate is
manually controlled by moving
the metering gate handle.
