1. Engines are shipped with choke adjusted to the completely closed position when the choke is engaged. The choke only requires adjusting if inspection reveals the choke is not fully closing.
2. Move the throttle control to full choke position.
3. Turn the choke adjustment screw counterclockwise fi ve to seven turns.
4. Attempt to move the choke rod in the direction of the choke adjustment screw. If the rod has no movement, no adjustment is necessary.
5. Return the choke adjustment screw to its original position or clockwise until it touches the choke lever. If the choke rod has movement , bend the engaging tab in the direction away from the choke adjustment screw until there is no choke rod movement.
6. In the event that bending the tab fails to remove all choke rod movement, partially straighten out the bend in the choke rod. This bend is near the governor arm.
7. The choke adjustment screw, when properly adjusted, stops excessive force from being exerted on the choke actuator.

HYDRAULIC UNIT INSTALLATION
Hydraulic Unit Installation
Recommended installation sequence:
1. Install the pump (not provided).
2. Install the hydraulic reservoir.
3. Install the cab control valve (optional).
4. Install the hydraulic hoses (not provided).
5. Fill the reservoir and check the system.
Pump
Because of the wide range of possible installations for this hopper spreader, no pump is supplied with the unit. If your vehicle does not have a pump suitable to your application, one may be purchased from a local truck equipment supplier.
The pump should produce 9 gal/min at 1500 psi at normal operating speed and have 1" NPT suction and discharge ports.
Hydraulic Reservoir Installation
Position the reservoir outlet as high as, or higher than, the pump inlet. Keep the hose distance as short as possible.
The reservoir should have a capacity of 1-1/2 to
2 times the pump maximum fl ow rate in gal/min.
Cab Control Valve Installation
1. With the seat fully forward, select a suitable location to mount the cab control valve, allowing for the operator to adjust the control and to turn it
ON and OFF.
2. Check for clearance with ALL controls in the cab.
3. Under the cab, check for interference with transmission, etc.
4. Check to see that the cab control valve location does not interfere with entering or leaving cab.
5. Fabricate a bracket to mount the cab control valve in the selected location.
6. Insert a grommet into each hole drilled for this installation.
7. Mount valve and plumb the pump and motor to the valve. Plumb Port "Auger" to Port "B" of the gear box motor, and Port "Spinner" to Port "B" of the spinner motor.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVE CHAIN AND SPINNER CHAIN –
GAS MODELS
• Verify that the drive sprocket set screws and the clutch sprocket mounting bolts are tight.
CAUTION
Overtightening the roller chains may damage the bearings on the gear case and the engine.
Overtightening will also shorten the life of the roller chain and of the sprockets.
• Correct tension allows for 1/4" of de fl ection midway between the pulleys/sprockets.
CONVEYOR PINTLE CHAIN TENSION
Check the conveyor chain tension by con fi rming that the chain is visible in the chain tension port. If the chain is too tight, it will be above the port; if too loose, it will be below the port.

To increase engine chain tension: Loosen the four bolts that secure the engine mount to the engine base and pull the engine away from the clutch.
After correct tension is achieved, retighten the engine mount bolts.
Spinner drive chain tension is maintained by the chain tensioner. Check the chain tensioner pivot point and lubricate as required for smooth tensioner movement. Full instructions on adjusting spinner drive chain tension are in the "Mounting the Spreader" section of these instructions. Under
"Chute Installation – Gas Models" see "Adjust
Spinner Drive Chain Tension."
Jam Nut
If Conveyor Chain Is Too Loose
1. Loosen the two bearing mounting bolts on each side of the conveyor idle roller at the cab end of the hopper.
2. Loosen the jam nut on one of the idler take-up bolts. Tighten the take-up bolt by turning it clockwise while holding the jam nut. Repeat with the opposite take-up bolt, tightening equally on both passenger's side and driver's side until the chain is in the middle of the chain tension port.
3. Tighten the bearing mounting bolts to 30 ft-lb.
Tighten the tensioner jam nuts.
If Conveyor Chain Is Too Tight
1. Loosen the jam nuts on both sides. Back off the idler take-up bolt evenly on both sides. Then loosen the bearing mounting bolts.
2. Adjust the chain tension until the chain is visible in the chain tension port.
3. Tighten the jam nuts. Tighten the bearing mounting bolts to 30 ft-lb.
