tire approximately 6 inches away from the area
youaretrimmingi.e.sidewalks,curbs,owerbeds
and etc. Prills coming off the front cover and left
front tire will cover this area.
Also when you make your rst full spread pass,
make sure you are throwing fertilizer to the center
of your trim tire tracks so you get 100% coverage.
Trimming to Right with Full Width Spread
When trimming to the right, you only need 60% of
the full gate opening. Use all the Spreader controls
together for a very accurate trim along a side walk
and curb area.
1. Adjust the Vari-Rate Adjustable Gate Stop so it is
at 60% of full open setting for your product (Licensed
Operator Adjustment Only).
2. Pull the Trim Spread Handle back to lower the
boarderpatroldeector(ON).
3. Open the Spreader Gate Open/Close Control handle.
Handle should be positioned to stop at Vari-Rate stop
- See Position “B” in Figure 11. This way you will be
spreading only to the right and the rate will be at 60% of
the full rate. The spread pattern will start approximately
2” to 3” inches to the left of the front tire and spread out
to the far right.
Trimming to Right with Narrow Width Spread
This is used for the narrow strip between sidewalks and
the street.
1. Adjust the Vari-Rate Adjustable Gate Stop so it is
at 60% of full open setting for your product (Licensed
Operator Adjustment Only).
2. Move the Spinner Speed Control handle to the narrow
position. This will reduce the spinner speed and narrow
spread width.
3. Pull the Trim Spread Handle back to lower the
boarderpatroldeector(ON).
4. Open the Spreader Gate Open/Close Control handle.
Handle should be positioned to stop at Vari-Rate stop -
