Calibration Techniques
How to ensure your spreader is properly calibrated
Make sure the drop holes in the bottom of the hopper are fully open when the Rate Control handle is on #30. If not,
please adjust the control rod to allow for a full open hopper position at #30.
Rod Type Adjustment
Open the shut-off so that the drop holes are completely open as illustrated below.
Review the Control Lever position - if it is set so that the forward edge is at #30,
you are calibrated. If not, you need to adjust the control rod at the pivot bracket
shown in
Fig 1
.
If your shut-off is able to open fully as in step #1, but the Control Lever is not at
#30. Loosen #14 Nut, then slide the Control Rod (#12) in the Gauge & Linkage
Assembly (#8) so that it allows you to push the Control Lever to #30. Next tighten
#14 Nut. Recheck adjustment as outlined above.
