Assembly & Installation Instructions

•

Make sure the contents of the carton match the items shown above.

•

Follow these instructions to complete assembly of the Dry Material Spreader.

Proper care and maintenance will prolong the life of your spreader.

Insert gate On/Off handle into lower handle bracket on spreader frame and apply pressure upward to compress the spring.

Place the friction washer (garden hose washer) over the pin on the slide gate and make sure that to loosen the action.

the pin is in the slot on the handle bracket.

Operate the gate On/Off handle to check that the slide gate moves and stays in full open and closed positions.

If the slide gate moves freely or seems to stick, slightly bend slide gate arm up to tighten or down

Assembly & Installation Instructions Cont.

1.

Receiver mount will already be attached to the spreader.

2.

Secure receiver in place with two 1/2” diameter pins and hitch pins.

3.

Attach the receiver to the vehicle with one 5/8” diameter pin and hitch pin.

4.

Use 12V motor controller (battery cable) clip to connect directly to the battery. Connect to the red clip (wire) to the positive (+) terminal first, then connect the black clip (wire) to the negative ( ) terminal.

Route 12V motor controller battery cable and 12V motor controller (motor cable) securely and carefully to prevent damage from moving parts and exhaust heat.

Turn the Motor Controller switch to the OFF position before connecting to motor cable.

Set the Motor Controller to the number “5” and switch the fan motor on. The fan should run at ½ speed. Rotate to number “10” for full fan speed and then rotate to number “1” for slowest fan speed.

This should be done without material in the hopper and the slide gate closed.

When disconnecting, make sure Motor Controller switch is OFF, disconnect the motor cable from the motor. Then disconnect the negative (black) connection and finally the positive (red) connection.

Operation

Replace or repair loose or missing components. Operate controls and switches to make sure they respond correctly.

Conditions of weather and terrain must be considered when setting spreader. Do not spread on windy days, with light weight materials, such as grass seed. Protective clothing must be worn in some cases.

1.

Determine vehicle speed:

If vehicle does not have a speedometer, determining speed can be accomplished by marking off 100, 200 or 300 feet. The speed chart indicates the number of seconds it takes to travel the distances.

Speed in M.P.H.

Using a watch or stop watch for time, travel into and out of the marked distance for a more accurate application speed.

See the recommended speeds/settings later in this manual.

(Miles Per Hour)

SPEED (MPH) = Distance (Ft.) x 60/Time (seconds) x 88 4.0

2.

Set Electronic Speed Control:

Adjust speed control to set the spread width. The highest fan speed will spread the widest pattern.

After adjusting the speed control to the desired width for the material you are using. Leave the dial on this setting and use the power switch to turn the fan on and off.

3.

Set Opening Gauge Control:

Refer to the settings chart for proper settings. Loosen wing nut and move gate slide gauge to the desired setting. Tighten wing nut.

4.

Adjust Pattern Adjust Ring Position to Center Spread Pattern:

If the spread pattern is off center, adjust by rotating the pattern adjusting ring.

This adjustment is only require if the material density has dramatically changed.

Pattern adjust ring has been set at the factory for UREA.

CAUTION: Making adjustments with spinner running is unsafe.

See Note

(**)

Pattern Adjustment

Never adjust pattern ring with spinner powered. Make sure motor controller switch is OFF and disconnect the motor cable from the motor before doing any pattern adjusting.

♦ Loosen worm gear clamp only enough to allow pattern adjust ring to be removed with slight force.

♦ Adjust pattern ring to re center spread pattern:

If pattern is too heavy to the driver ’ s right, rotate the pattern adjust ring clockwise (as viewed from the top) until the pattern is even.

If pattern is too heavy to the driver ’ s left, rotate the pattern adjust ring counter clockwise (as viewed from the top) until the pattern is even.

Opening

Retighten the worm gear clamp to a snug fit. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

NOTE: To return the pattern adjust ring to the factory setting, simply align the pattern adjust ring to the center of the mounting plate, as pictured above (**).

Page 4

Do not fill and transport over long distances. This will result in material packing and caking. Remove and clean all material at the end of your spreading day.

Cleaning/Storing

1.

Remove and clean all material from the hopper.

2.

Rinse inside and outside of hopper and dry before storing.

3.

Motor and Motor Controller are NOT water resistant. Do Not submerge into water or use high pressure sprayers to clean.

4.

The spreader should be stored in a dry area.

If your rate is different than what shows on the charts, you will need to adjust the gate setting accordingly. It would be suggested to mark off 1000 sq. ft. and spread, checking your spread pattern and rate before spreading your field.

If the material you ’ re spreading is not in one of these charts, match it to the closest material in the charts and check your spread pattern and rate. If needed, you will adjust from those settings.

Fimco assumes no liability pertaining to seed rates claimed with this spreader. Rates listed on chart are generic for the U.S.A. and should be used as a starting point or guide only. Check with your local extension office or state for official application rates. Seed rate chart gate settings were calibrated through in house testing with spreader.
