The Accuway has two ramps. A front side and a back side ramp.
Viewed from operators position.
The front side ramp
2
is used to shift the spread pattern to the right.
The back side ramp
1
is used to shift the spread pattern to the left.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER USE ACCUWAY FRONT AND REAR RAMPS TO
SPLIT THE PRODUCT FLOW. Use only the front side or the back side.
With proper adjustment you should be able to achieve a balanced
spread pattern.
First - set the spread rate dial
3
.
Now you are ready to balance the spread pattern.
Note the relationship of the rate gate opening
to the front side of the ramp.
Note the relationship of the rate gate opening
to the back side of the ramp.
