The WIDE SPIN 1540 EC can be used as a material
handler for top dressing material when the spinner
assembly is removed. When the spinner assembly is
removed, top dressing material will drop out of the back
of the unit and not be spread. Material handling rates
can be adjusted by using the metering gate and the
conveyor belt speed control.
With the spinner assembly removed, the tongue weight
will increase to 45.4 Kg. (144 pounds) with hopper empty
or 127 Kg (328 pounds) with hopper fully loaded.
Use the following steps to remove the spinner assembly.
Refer to Figure 35.
Step 1. Reset the spinner speed switch on the 1540 EC
Control Box back to read “0” (zero).
Step 2. Remove the spinner shield from the rear of the
1540 EC.
Step 3. Disconnect the spinner assembly’s two quick-
disconnect hydraulic hoses. One hose is connected
to the spinner assembly’s left spinner wheel motor,
the other is connected to the 1540 EC manifold valve
block (located under the left side of the frame).
