CALIBRATION
Step 15:
Pull lever back to setting “30” as
shown. Next push pivot & bracket forward so
that the shut off plate in the hopper is in the full
open position.
REMEMBER SETTING
“30” ON
THE FLOW CONTROL LEVER MUST PLACE THE
SHUT-OFF PLATE IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION
TO BE PROPERLY CALIBRATED
. Now tighten the
nuts against the PIVOT BRACKET to prevent
change in calibration.
NOTE
: Tension on the flow control lever may
be adjusted by tightening or loosening the
tension nut as shown.
Step 16:
Insert agitator to pinion shaft on
inside of hopper.
Note
: the position of flat side of the agitator.
This pin should be installed as shown.
SPREADER CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
Professional turf managers only purchase spreaders that can
be calibrated. National brand spreaders cannot be calibrated
and thus provide poor results. To achieve optimal accuracy,
we recommend you check your calibration every other year.
Open the spreader gauge to #30, inside the hopper, move
control plate to the full open.
1.
Open the shut-off so that the drop holes are completely
open as illustrated to the right.
2.
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
A.
If your shut-off is not able to open fully as in step #1.
Loosen the top nut a few turns, then loosen the lower
nut so that it allows you to push the shut-off open fully.
Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket without moving it, and then carefully tighten each
nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjustment as outlined in #1 above.
B.
If your shut-off is able to open fully as in step #1, but the Control Lever is not at the number 30 on the rate plate,
then loosen the top nut a few turns. Then loosen the lower nut so that it allows you to
push the Control Lever to #30. Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot
bracket without moving it. Carefully tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during
use. Recheck adjust as outlined in #1 above.
