TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
Move To the Operator’s Position At The Truck
Before Engaging the Spinner Assembly.
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE WIDE
SPIN
1530 TM OPERATOR CONTROLS
Hand Held Spinner and Conveyor Belt ON/OFF
Switch:
The hand held ON/OFF switch
[M]
controls
the ON/OFF operation of the conveyor belt and the
spinner assembly. The switch has 3
positions:
1. Spinners ON, Conveyor Belt ON
2. Spinners ON, Conveyor Belt OFF
3. Spinners OFF, Conveyor Belt OFF
Always be at the operator’s position
before engaging the ON/OFF switch.
Always keep the hand held switch in a secure place.
When not in use, hang the control box on the front of
the hopper. If the control box drops to the ground, the
wiring harness can become tangled in the trucks axles
and wheels. DO NOT put the hand held switch in the
hopper. Severe damage to the switch, switch cable,
conveyor belt, and spinner wheels will result if the
control box becomes tangled in the conveyor belt and
spinner assembly.
Spinner Speed Hydraulic Flow Control:
The
hydraulic speed control
[N]
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:
[O]
The tilt of the spinner assembly can be
changed by moving the tilt control handle. Total
movement is approximately 15º degrees. The
tilt angle can 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 letters on the decal are for
visual reference only, they do not represent any
measured tilt angle.
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
[P]
trims (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.
The marks on the decal are for visual reference
only, they do not represent any measured amounts of
top dressing trim.
Conveyor Belt Speed Control:
The speed control
[Q]
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 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 turns
(counterclockwise) of the knob from a fully closed
(clockwise) position. For Lightspread operation, set at
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 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
[R]
. 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.
