Hopper:
The hopper
[D]
holds 0.54 cubic meters (19
cubic feet) of top dressing material. The maximum
allowable weight of the top dressing material is 816.5
Kg (1800 Pounds). Do not over fill the hopper. The
excess weight can create a safety hazard, damage
the components of the WideSpin 1540 TEC, cause
damage to the truck, and cause the truck tires to leave
tracks and depressions in the turf.
Conveyor Belt:
The rough surfaced conveyor belt
[E]
carries the top dressing material from the hopper,
through the metering gate, and in to the spinner
assembly. Power to the belt is provided by the hydraulic
conveyor belt drive motor. The speed of the conveyor
belt is adjustable.
Conveyor Belt Tension Adjusters:
Conveyor belt
tension adjusters
[F]
are provided to change the tension
to correct tracking or slipping problems. Refer to the
Service section in this manual for more information
about conveyor belt tension.
Spinner Assembly:
The spinner assembly
[G]
broadcasts the flow of top dressing material being
discharged from the conveyor belt. The spinner
assembly is equipped with a spread diverter to control
the spread pattern during Heavyspread operations and
is also equipped with a tilt control to further enhance
or vary the spreading pattern. The spinner assembly
can also be removed to allow the 1540 to be used as a
material handler for top dressing material.
Left and Right Hand Spinner Wheels:
The
hydraulically powered spinner wheels
[H]
are rotating
wheels equipped with vanes. The rotating motion of
the wheels broadcasts the top dressing material. The
mounting angle of the vanes on the wheels is adjustable
and provides adjustment/correction to spread patterns.
Vane adjustment is required when changing between
Lightspread and a very heavy Heavyspread. The
left and right hand spinner wheels rotate in opposite
directions.
