OPERATION
5. SPINNER WHEEL (See Figure 8 and 9) - The
Spinner Wheel broadcasts the material from
the hopper. The speed of the spinner wheel is
controlled by the Spinner Speed Control.
6. SPINNER SPEED CONTROL (See Figure 8 and
10) - The Spinner Speed Control lever allows the
operator to speed up or slow down the spinner
wheel to vary the spread pattern width. Push the
Spinner Speed Control lever full ahead for full
application width and pull back for the narrow or
trim width. A slower spinner wheel speed results
in a narrower spread width (about 7 foot wide)
for use in narrow spots, trimming, and to avoid
putting product where it is not wanted.
Note: The Spinner Speed Control lever should
only be moved when the engine is running. No
damage will occur if the lever is moved while the
engine is not running, it is just better for the belts
and pulley to be moving when activated.
7. SPREADER GATE OPEN/CLOSE CONTROL
(See Figure 10) - The Spreader Gate Open/
Close Control handle controls the opening of the
spreader gate. Push forward to the open the gate
or pull back to close.
8. VARI-RATE ADJUSTABLE GATE STOP (See
Figure 10) - Vari-Rate Adjustable Gate Stop is
located next to the spreader gate handle. The
stop will limit the movement of the spreader gate
control handle. This causes the spreader gate to
stop at a preset opening size that is less than
100% open (opening must be preset during
calibration). To use the Vari-Rate stop, simply
push the lever in as you open the gate. The lever
will snap in to a more vertical position and stop at
the gate stop. To bypass the stop, tip the control
out as you move it forward to open the gate and
the handle will miss the stop allowing the gate to
fully open.
The Vari-Rate Adjustment Gate Stop should only
be set by the person calibrating the spreader.
Thisshouldneverbedoneintheeldandshould
be changed whenever the calibrated rate is
changed. The exact setting for the Vari-Rate
should only be set by licensed persons. Refer
to the spreader calibration section in this manual.
9. SPREAD TRIM BORDER PATROL (See Figure 8
and 10) - TheSpreadTrimBorderPatroldeector
is on the left side of the hopper and is operated
by a lever on the left side of the operators panel.
TheBorderPatroldeectorisoperatedbypulling
the lever back for trim (ON) and pushing forward
(OFF) for full width application.
