1530 TM BROADCAST TOP DRESSER
The Turfco WideSpin 1530 TM Broadcast Top Dresser
is a truck mounted broadcast top dresser. The
WideSpin 1530 TM is designed to distribute a uniform
application of properly prepared top dressing material
to the turf. Top dressing is the introduction of new soils
to existing turf.
A conveyor belt carries the top dressing from the
hopper, through an adjustable metering gate, and
into rotating spinner wheels. Top dressing material is
spread at an adjustable width of 3.04 to 9.14 meters
(10’ to 30’ feet) at an operating ground speed up to 8
Km/h (5 mph).
INTENDED USE AND FUNCTION
The WideSpin 1530 TM is intended to be used for the
application of properly prepared organic top dressing
material. The WideSpin 1530 TM is NOT intended to
be used for any purpose other than the application
of properly prepared organic top dressing material.
Properly prepared top dressing is organic material with
a controlled moisture content that has been screened
to remove debris, rocks, and excessive sized top
dressing material.
Operation is intended to be at properly prepared
worksites only. The WideSpin 1530 TM is intended
only to be mounted to trucks having adequate weight,
payload capacity, brakes, and horsepower, and
hydraulic power to safely control the top dresser. The
proper mounting kit must be used to mount the top
dresser to the truck.
The WideSpin 1530 TM is intended to be used only
when the operator is present at the drivers position
on the truck. The WideSpin 1530 TM is intended to
be operated only when the truck and top dresser are
moving. The WideSpin 1530 TM is not intended to be
used when the truck and top dresser are stationary.
The WideSpin 1530 TM is not intended to be operated
unless it is properly attached to the truck. The 1530 TM
is NOT designed for or intended to accept riders.

LIGHTSPREAD AND HEAVYSPREAD SETTINGS
The WIDE
SPIN
1530 has two settings to control
top dressing material volume rates and the spread
patterns. The LIGHTSPREAD setting is used for
frequent top dressing applications and provides the
widest broadcast pattern with a “light” volume of top
dressing material. The HEAVYSPREAD setting is
used for narrower broadcast pattern with a “heavy”
volume of top dressing material. Changing between
Lightspread and Heavyspread requires repositioning
the spread diverter, changing spinner speed control
setting, changing the metering gate setting, and
repositioning the spinner wheel vane angles.
