OPERATION
SETTING CONTROLS FOR LIGHTSPREAD OR
HEAVYSPREAD OPERATIONS (See Figure 19)
Changes to the settings of the spinner and conveyor
speeds, metering gate, spinner diverter and spinner
wheel vane mounting angles are required when
changing between Lightspread and Heavyspread top
dressing operations. See Figures 17, 18 and 19.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,
Always Stop the Engine Before Making Any
Lightspread/Heavyspread Adjustments
and the Spinner Vanes Adjustments.
SETTING WIDE SPIN 1540 TEC METERING GATE
(See Figure 19)
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 stop 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. During Heavyspread operations, the spinner
assembly should be adjusted to be level with the
ground.
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 HEAVYSPREAD DIVERTER
(See Figure 17 and Figure 19)
The Heavyspread Diverter changes the spread pattern
during Heavyspread operation. For Heavyspread, the
diverter should be in the lowered “B” or “C” positions
and securely locked with the diverter locking knob.
During light spread application, the diverter should be
locked in the raised “A” position.
The diverter can be set in positions other than fully
raised or lowered. Because of the differences in top
dressing material, setting the diverter in a partially
raised or lowered position may correct or “trim” the
spread to achieve the desired results. Use the scale on
the decal next to the locking knob to gauge the diverter
position.
ADJUSTING SPINNER WHEEL VANES
(See Figure 18 and 19)
Lightspread and a normal Heavyspread applications
can use the same vane mounting angle, however
the vane angles should be changed for a very heavy
spread application.
LIGHTSPREAD AND NORMAL HEAVYSPREAD
APPLICATIONS - Adjust spinner vanes to maximum
mounting angle (to inside of slot).
VERY HEAVYSPREAD APPLICATION - Adjust
spinner vanes to minimum mounting angle (to outside
of slot).
The mounting angle is adjusted by loosening the inside
locking screw on the vane (it is not necessary to loosen
the screw on the outside), sliding the vane to the other
end of the slot on the vane, and retightening the screw.
NOTE: Because the right and left spinner wheels rotate
in opposite direction, the right and left vanes are a mirror
image of each other. See Figure 15 for the location and
direction of adjustment for each individual vane.
