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 control cable or control rod to allow for a full open hopper position at #30.
Rod Type Adjustment
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 in
Fig 1
.
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 #30. Loosen the top nut a few
urns, 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.
