TOP DRESSING OPERATION
Forward speed is an important part of top dressing.
Moderate and constant speed will provide the best top
dressing results. A varying ground speed will create an
unwanted varied thickness and pattern. Ground speed
during top dressing should not exceed 8 Km/h (5 MPH).
Undesired top dressing patterns and excessive stress
on the machine will occur if speeds are in excess of 8
Km/h (5 MPH). Maximum driving speed when empty
is 8 Km/h (5 MPH).
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
and To Avoid Damage to the
Truck and the 1530 TM Top Dresser,
Do Not Drive or Operate At Speeds Over
8 Km/h (5 MPH).
Start and stop the top dressing operation using the
hand-held ON/OFF switch. The top dresser should be
moving before putting the switch in the ON (
I
) position.
Put the switch in the OFF (
O
) position before stopping
movement of the top dresser.
For best results, top dress in straight lines. A gradual
turn can be made without difficulty or undesired top
dressing results. On too sharp of a turn, uneven
distribution of top dressing material will occur. A sharp
turn will result in more top dressing being applied to the
inside ground surface of the turn than on the outside
surface.
To make a sharp turn without top dressing, the turn
should be taken very slowly. Too fast of a turn will
increase the possibility of damage to the turf caused
by the trucks wheels skidding or cutting into the turf.
Also, if a turf is too soft, the tires may sink into the turf
and leave tracks.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
To Avoid Damage to the WideSpin 1530 TM Top
Dresser and the Truck, Do Not Operate the Top
Dresser On Side Slopes Over 15° Degrees, or Up
and Down Slopes Over 15° Degrees.
Do not operate the top dresser on side slopes over 15°
degrees. Do not operate the top dresser up and down
side slopes over 15° degrees. Do not operate the
top dresser with an over filled or overloaded hopper.
Tipping or rolling over of the machine can occur.
To Avoid Damage To The 1530 TM Top Dresser
Do Not Place the Hand Held ON/OFF Switch
Inside of the Hopper.
Do not place the hand-held ON/OFF switch in the
hopper. Severe damage to the hand held ON/OFF
switch, the conveyor belt, and the spinner assembly
can result if the switch box becomes tangled in the
conveyor belt or spinner wheels.
DO NOT Allow Anyone To Stand Behind the 1530
Spinner Assembly When It Is Operating.
WIDE
SPIN
1530 TM TOP DRESSER SHUTDOWN
After operation, stop the hydraulic power to the
conveyor belt and the spinner assembly.
To avoid
draining the trucks battery, the hand held switch must
be in the “OFF”
(
O
)
position. After shutdown, check
the following:
● Hopper is empty.
● Trucks hydraulic power supply control has been
placed in the OFF positions.
● Hand Held switch is in the OFF (
O
) position for both
the conveyor belt and the spinner assembly. Hand held
switch should be hung on side hopper panel.
● Set trucks brakes. Block tires to prevent uncontrolled
rolling.
● Disconnect the power supply harness to the truck.
If the WideSpin 1530 TM is going to be removed from
the truck, refer to the manual for the Mounting Kit
Manual.
