DESCRIPTION
Spinner Speed Hydraulic Flow Control:
The hydraulic
speed control varies the
speed of the spinner wheels
by regulating the amount
of hydraulic flow sent to the
hydraulic motors. Increasing
or decreasing the speed of
the spinners does not change
the volume of material being
spread, it only effects the width of the spreading pattern.
The control has settings from 0 to 4 (settings above 4
are locked out). Heavyspread control setting should be
at 3 or less, Lightspread should be at 4.
Spinner Assembly Tilt Control Handle and Locking
Handle:
The tilt of the spinner assembly can be changed
by moving the tilt control handle. Total movement is
approximately 15° degrees. The tilt angle can be changed
up or down to vary or correct the width of spread without
changing the speed of the spinner wheels. The tilt angle
of the assembly can be also be changed to correct for
the difference in hitch heights of different tow vehicles.
The locking handle will keep the spinner assembly
locked into position. During Heavyspread operations,
the spinner assembly should be adjusted to be level with
the ground.
Heavyspread Diverter and Diverter Locking Knob:
The Heavyspread Diverter changes the spread pattern
during Heavyspread operation. The diverter should be in
the lowered position and securely locked with the diverter
locking knob. During light application, the diverter should
be locked in the raised position.
Conveyor Belt Speed Control:
The speed control
regulates the amount of
hydraulic flow to the conveyor
belt motor and regulates the
speed of the conveyor belt.
The speed of conveyor belt
controls the amount of top
dressing material that is moved and discharged thru
the metering gate. Changing the conveyor belt speed
control does not affect the operating speed of the spinner
assembly spinner wheels.
The normal conveyor belt speed control setting during
Heavyspread operation is 3 full turns (counterclockwise)
of the knob from a fully closed (clockwise) position. For
Lightspread operation, set at 3 or more turns.
Metering Gate and Metering Gate Adjusting Handle:
The Metering gate regulates
the amount of top dressing
material released from the
hopper. The metering gate is
manually controlled by moving
the metering gate handle.
The marks on the decal are
for reference only, they do
not represent any measured amounts of top dressing
material. The metering gate opening size is controlled
in two calibrations, Lightspread and Heavyspread. The
metering gate stop pull pin on the side of the metering
gate mount must be pulled out to allow the metering
gate to be moved into the larger opening size for
Heavyspread. If the amount of material being deposited
on the spinner assembly needs to be corrected, adjust
the metering gate opening.
