How to adjust the Spreader Vanes

To ensure even distribution on either side of the fertilizer spreader of differing specific gravities the vanes can be adjusted to the different holes on the distributor disc.

When all vanes are placed in hole #1, the distribution to the left of the tractor driver is increased. If inserted into hole #4, distribution to the right of the driver increases. Refer to Figure 3-1.

The fertilizer adjustment depends upon the type of material being used and the operator’s experience.
