To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if the deflector shut-off is binding on my SPYKER Spreader?
If the deflector shut-off on your SPYKER Spreader is binding, preventing proper opening or closing, the issue is likely due to debris obstructing the shut-off plate. To resolve this, thoroughly wash out the hopper and shut-off plates with water, making sure there is no debris stuck between the shut-off plate and the rate gate plate.
Why my SPYKER Spreader does not sit flat?
If your SPYKER Spreader does not sit flat, it's probably because the 'feet' or flattened portions of the spreader hopper support tubes aren't bent equally. To fix this, use a hammer or pliers to bend the feet so they are aligned with each other.
