OPERATION
The product to be spread is placed in the hopper. When the spreader is towed forward, the right hand wheel
drives through the lever operated mechanical clutch and gearbox to turn the spinner in a clockwise direction.
When the control handle is in the disengage position (fully back) the clutch is disengaged and the shutter is
closed. Pulling the handle forward (towards the operator) engages the clutch and rotates the shutter located
at the bottom of the hopper to an open position. The size of the opening is set by a shutter stop lever, which
locates into one of nine pre-set positions.
An extension of the spinner boss is connected to a stainless steel agitator arm inside the bottom of the
hopper. The agitator ensures that product flows continuously out of the hopper to the spinning disk.
A delivery chute on the bottom of the hopper ensures that product is delivered to the correct spot of the disk
so that the deflectors distribute the product over a wide angle behind and to each side of the spreader.
The clutch system can be engaged or disengaged at up to 5KPH while the spreader is in motion.
The polyethylene cover can be fitted to prevent rain and debris from entering the hopper.
WARNING
To prevent premature failure or damage to the CDIT400 clutch system, do not engage or disengage the
clutch at speeds in excess of 5 KPH.
