TRAY INSTALLATION
*Installation instructions may vary depending on the tray you are using. Please read all instructions carefully.
Step 1:
Install TRAY
from the top downwards into the hopper (see figure
) positioning the center hole of the tray
over the PINION SHAFT from the gear box with the PIVOT ROD through the bottom of the hopper and facing toward the
spreader’s handlebar. For ease of locating into position the shut-off of the chosen tray is best in the open position, with
the exception of the red
STANDARD-OUTPUT TRAY
where the two adjustable throwing ports are best in the closed
position.
Step 2:
Ensure the hopper is clean and there is no debris trapped around the tray mounting area.
Step 3:
Install the PIVOT ROD CLIP
into the Shut-off plate on the selected TRAY
.
Step 4:
Insert the PIVOT ROD
into the CLIP
.
NOTE:
The CLIP
may have a burr in the hole, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the burr
.
Pliers may be required
to help squeeze the PIVOT ROD
into the CLIP
.
Step 5:
When the ROD
is secure inside the CLIP
push the free end of the CLIP
over the PIVOT ROD
to firmly
secure the rod to the clip.
Step 6:
NOTE:
The gearbox can be moved along the axle to ease aligning of the tray hole and the PINION SHAFT.
Step 7:
Once the tray is in place check that the tray is sealed and flush against the hopper sides. To check if the tray is
properly located, push the tray edges downwards.
Step 8:
Install the two quarter turn fasteners (see figure
) through the two exposed tray holes and push down and
twist a quarter turn to secure.
Step 9:
Lastly, connect the free end of the PIVOT ROD
into the PIVOT linkage at the bottom of the CONTROL ROD.
Position the CLIP
into the free hole and push the PIVOT ROD
into the clip.
TIP:
The CLIP
may have a burr in the hole, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the burr (see figure
).
Step 10:
When the PIVOT ROD
is positioned inside the CLIP
push the free end of the CLIP
over the PIVOT ROD
to firmly secure the rod and the clip together.
