TURFCO T3100 APPLICATOR
THE SPREADER
The spreader has several components and controls you should be familiar with before operating the machine.
1. HOPPER (See Figure 8) - The spreader hopper size is 2.9 cubic feet and holds 175 pounds (0.08 Cubic Meter/
79.4 Kg.) of material.
2. SPREADER GATE (See
Figure 8) - The Spreader
Gate opens allowing the
material from the hopper
to fall onto the spinner
wheel for spreading. The
gate is operated from
Spreader Gate Open/
Close Control lever on the
right side of the operators
control.
3. SPREADER GATE RATE
ADJUSTER DIAL (See
Figure 9) - The Spreader
Gate Rate Adjuster
Dial, is a round white
plastic cam on the front
of the spreader hopper.
This cam sets the exact
opening of the spreader
gate. The exact setting
for the gate dial should
only be set by licensed
persons.
4. “ACCUWAY” SPREAD
PATTERN ADJUSTER (See Figure 9) - The Spread Pattern Adjuster moves the position of a black plastic
wedge that is under the hopper gate opening. When the gate is opened, the wedge controls where the material
lands on the spinner wheel. This affects how fast the material exits the spinner wheel and changes the throw of
the material. The wedge can be adjusted to throw more material to the right, more to the left, or an equal right to
left pattern.
More detailed information about the
adjuster can be found in the spreader
calibration section of this manual
The Accuway Spread Pattern Adjuster
must be readjusted if the Spreader
Gate Rate Adjuster Dial has been
changed or when a different product is
being used. Consult the calibration
section in this manual for proper
adjustment.
