Operation
Spreading
NOTE: Always use the hopper cover to prevent mois-
ture buildup. Do not let spreader sit idle with material
in the hopper for an extended period of time. This can
cause material to compact, reduce or stop the ow of
material and cause permanent hopper damage.
CAUTION: DO NOT leave unused material
in hopper. Material can freeze or solidify,
causing unit to not work properly. Empty
and clean after each use.
IMPORTANT: Never operate near
pedestrians. Never exceed 10 mph while
spreading. This spreader is for fertilizer only.
Not recommended for use with rock salt.
CAUTION: Disconnect electric and/or
hydraulic power and tag out if required
before servicing or performing maintenance.
The fertilizer spreader is for ner materials. Do not
use spreader for rock salt. Recalibrate when switching
between materials.
• To adjust spread width, increase/decrease spinner
speed.
• To adjust application rate, increase/decrease gate
opening or vehicle speed.
The adjustable n (A) provides a way to adjust spread
patterns with different materials. Select the desired
position by lifting the outside top edge (B). Different
materials act in different ways in relation to spinner speed.
Moving the ns corrects most pattern issues without
having to sacrice spinner speed. All adjustments must
be made on pavement and positions noted for future
reference. Incorporate adjustments into your normal
calibration process.
1. To change the material ow rate, adjust the gate stop
bolt. Loosen knob (C) and reposition in the slot.
2. Position the knob in the end of the slot at position (D)
for maximum material output.
3. The barrier shield (E) comes installed on the left side
of the fertilizer spreader. To raise or lower the shield,
push it against the spring (F) and rotate.
