GENERAL OPERATIONS
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Learn and refer to all safety warning in this
manual before operating the Spreader.
•
If Spreader is being on or near a roadway
always follow local laws and regulations for
road transporting in your area.
The
Spreader is not designed for high-speed
roadway use! Do not exceed 15 MPH when
transporting an empty unit with the axle
pin removed. Do not exceed 5 MPH with
the axle pin in place and/or a loader
Hopper.
GETTING STARTED
•
Is it important to learn all the operations
discussed in this manual before starting.
•
Decide whether or not the Agitator Head is to
be used before filling the Hopper. The
Agitator can cause damage to some coated
and/or delicate seeds.
Calculate the flow
rate of the material to be spread for the
most accurate results.
•
Ensure the flow gate is closed prior to filling.
Always inspect the Spreader before each use. Ensure all hardware is tight and all
moving parts are in proper working order. Machine damage and/or injury can occur
if Spreader operates with defective parts.

FILLING THE HOPPER
•
Make sure the Spreader is securely
connected to the Tow-Vehicle
.
•
Always fill the hopper at the site where
the material is to be spread. Traveling
with a full Hopper will cause the material
to compact and can result in poor
spreading.
•
The recommended method of filling the
Spreader is to place the
unopened
bag of
material on the top ledge of the Hopper.
Place the end of the bag to be opened into
the opening of the Hopper. Open the bag
and let the material fall into the hopper by
lifting the opposite end of the bag. Repeat
this step until the desired amount of material
is in the Hopper and then replace the
Hopper Lid.
SPREADING RECOMMENDATIONS
•
When spreading the first pass, take note of the
spread width and distribution pattern.
•
Pay close attention to your speed, as this will
directly impact the spread width and material
coverage area. The faster you go, the wider
and thinner the coverage will become. The
slower you go, the thicker and narrower the
coverage area will become. It is important to
maintain a consistent speed for even
coverage.
•
If the pattern seems to be uneven or applies
material heavier in one direction then follow
the instructions for FINE TUNING THE SPREAD
PATTERN on page 17
.
STARTING SPINNER DISC
•
Ensure the axle locking pin is in place. SEE
FIGURE 18.1
Once the Drive axle is attached
to the Gearbox, the Spinner Disc will spin
upon forward or backwards movement of the
spreader.
•
Ensure the Hopper is level.
•
Set the Pre-set Knob to the desired Open
setting on the Flow Control Handle.
•
Set the desired material spread offset (Left,
Right or Center).
•
You are ready to spread!
•
Follow the pattern in
FIGURE 19.1
for best
results.
