The electronic spreader control is equipped with a
switch that controls power to the motor and a dial for
adjusting the speed of the motor and spinner.

Power is sent to the motor by moving the switch to
either MAN ON or AUT ON. Moving the switch to
the MAN ON position disregards the speed control
dial and sends full power to the motor. Moving the
switch to AUT ON allows the motor speed to be
controlled by the speed control dial setting.
The motor and spinner speed is adjusted by rotat-
ing the speed control dial. Position 0 is the slow-
est setting and provides a narrow spread pattern.
Position 10 is the fastest setting and will provide the
widest spreading pattern. The spinner speed can be
adjusted at any time to control the spread width.
Gate Control Lever (B)
The gate control lever opens and closes the rate gate
to start and stop the flow of material. Pushing the
lever toward the spreader opens the gate and pulling
the lever away from the spreader closes the gate.
