SETTING CONTROLS FOR LIGHTSPREAD OR
HEAVYSPREAD OPERATIONS
(See Figures 5, 6 and 7)
Changes to the settings of the spinner speed control,
the metering gate, spinner diverter, spinner wheel vane
mounting angles, and the conveyor belt speed control
are required when changing between Lightspread and
Heavyspread top dressing operations.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
Always Disengage the Hydraulic Power and Stop
the Truck Engine Before Making Any Lightspread/
Heavyspread Adjustments.
Setting WIDESPIN 1530 TM Metering Gate
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.
Use the following settings for Lightspread and
Heavyspread operations -
LIGHTSPREAD - Set metering gate in zones “A”
thru “D”.
HEAVYSPREAD - Pull metering gate pull pin and
set gate in zones “E” thru “H”.
The marks on the decal are for reference only, they do
not represent any measured amounts of top dressing
material.
Because moisture content and varying weights of
top dressing can effect the flow of material thru the
metering gate, adjustments may be needed to maintain
an equal distribution and an even spread pattern.
If the amount of material being deposited on the spinner
assembly needs to be corrected, adjust the metering
gate opening. To increase the volume of top dressing
material, increasing the metering gate opening will
have better spreading results than increasing the
conveyor belt speed. For less volume of top dressing
material, decreasing the metering gate opening will
have better results than decreasing the speed of the
conveyor belt.
Setting WIDE SPIN 1530 TM Spinner Hydraulic
Speed Control
The speed control varies the
speed of the spinner wheels.
Increasing the speed increases
the spread width, decreasing
narrows the width. Changing the
speed does not effect the volume
of material being spread, however, the thickness
of application will change as the spread changes.
Use the following speed settings for Lightspread or
Heavyspread operations -
LIGHTSPREAD - Set and lock the spinner speed
control at “4”.
HEAVYSPREAD - Set and lock the spinner speed
control at “3 or less”.
In the Heavyspread setting, the speed control should
be at 3 or less. Do Not exceed 3 during Heavyspread
operation, limit any changes to setting the control to
under 3 along with changes to the conveyor speed
control or the metering gate setting.
Moisture content and the type of top dressing material
are variables that will affect the setting of the speed
control. Use a slower setting for dry top dressing
material that flows easily. Increase setting to handle
heavier types of top dressing or to increase the spread
range. Increasing the speed will broadcast the top
dressing over a larger area. Experimentation by the
operator will help to determine the proper setting. The
spinner speed control does not effect or change the
speed of the conveyor belt.
Setting HEAVYSPREAD Diverter
(See Figure 5 & 6)
The Heavyspread Diverter changes the spread
pattern during Heavyspread operation. For
Heavyspread, 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.
