OPERATING FLOW CONTROL GATE

The Gauge Plate Assembly operates the Flow Control Gate.

The Gauge Plate is marked from 0 (closed) to 10 (fully open). The position selected determines the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the application of material. Flow Control settings for many of the common fertilizers, insecticides, and grass seeds are provided in Table 1.

If the material is not listed in Table 1, then use the calibration table found on the decal provided on the hopper. After determining the correct setting number for your material, move the Flow Control Handle to that position.

Lock the handle in place by moving the Handle Stop to that position and tighten knob.

OPERATING TIPS

• Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight capacity of 175 pounds.

• Break up any lumps as you fill the Hopper.

• Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading fine grass seed or herbicides.


OPERATION

Directional Control

NORMAL OPERATION

Directional Control

ONE SIDE ONLY SPREADING

Fertilizers, Insecticides, & Grass Seed each have different particle size and weight. This can be referred to as particle density. As the particles are impacted by the fan, the distribution can be centered or slightly off center depending on particle density and forward vehicle speed.

Adjustment can be made by moving the Direction Control

Handle to the RIGHT or LEFT. The directional decal located below the Directional Control Plate handle will aid you in adjusting the spread pattern. For most applications the handle should be placed close to the center position described by the label below. If the material is coming out right or left during operation, adjustment of this lever should be made to center the material distribution pattern behind the vehicle. Your broadcast spreader has a patented feature to allow you to adjust for centering.

The directional control plate can be used for adjusting the material spread pattern when spreading near sidewalks, planting beds, etc. Slide the directional control plate to the desired position to control material flow for the spreader. The hopper decal illustrates the direction control coverage. The directional control plate only operates with 90% shut-off of material to the right side or left side of the vehicle as shown in the illustration below.

Ensure Gage Plate is properly calibrated.



SERVICE

MAINTENANCE

The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your Spreader clean and dry.

• Never allow material to remain in

Hopper for extended periods of time.

• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.

• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.

• Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use. Move Flow

Control as you rinse to avoid build up of material.
