INSTALLATION
1. Adjust hanger extensions to fit
roof opening and install the
power spread unit.
2. Use the 9/32" hole at the end of
each hanger extension and bolt
hanger extensions to hatch
collar.
3. Then tighten all bolts holding
hanger extensions.
4. Once unit is installed, use a
carpenter's level across the top
of the spreader cone to make
sure it is level in all directions
(Figure 5).
5. If required, add spacer washers
between hanger brackets and
hanger extensions to level unit
(Figure 6).

The 1HP motor is protected with an
internal automatic reset overload.
Before servicing, all power to the unit
must be disconnected and locked out
to avoid a possible reset/restart and
serious injury.
Before connecting and applying
power, rotate the spreader blade by
hand to be certain it rotates freely
without obstruction. The motor turns
the spreader blade counterclockwise
as viewed from above the unit. The
super spread unit requires 115
or 230 volt 1 PH or 230 or 460 volt
3 phase power supply. The mini-
mum wire size is 14 gauge for runs
up to 200 feet. It is advisable to pro-
vide additional protection such as
15 amp slow blow fuses or 20 amp
circuit breaker. Consult a licensed
electrician for wire size on longer
runs. Regardless of grain type and
bin size, the grain flow must be di-
rectly down (vertical) and centered
(horizontal) within the spreader cone
(Figure 7). This has to be done to
prevent high and low grain surface
areas from one side of the bin to the
other.
