CALIBRATING FLOW CONTROL ARM

Flow control mounting bracket (figure 16 and 17)

a.Set adjustable stop at "OFF" position. Move flow control arm against adjustable stop.

b.Slide flow control mounting bracket along control tube until closure plate in bottom of hopper just closes.

c.Snug the nuts just enough to hold flow control mounting bracket in place.

d.Set adjustable stop at "5". With flow control arm resting against stop, verify that closure plate is open about half way.

e.If closure plate is not open about half way, slide flow control mounting bracket up or down control tube until closure plate will open about half way at "5" and will close completely when arm is pushed past adjustable stop to "OFF" position. Tighten the 5/16" nylock hex nuts.

OPERATION

HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL

(Refer to figure 16 and 17)

1.Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut.

The higher the setting number, the wider the opening in the bottom of the hopper.

2.Refer to the Application Chart on page 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting.

3.Pull the flow control arm from the "OFF" position and rest it against the adjustable stop for the “ON” position.

Push the flow control arm past the stop, toward the hopper for the “OFF” position.

USING THE PATTERN ADJUSTMENT PLATE

The pattern adjustment plate is used to adjust the flow of material being spread to the left or right side. The pattern adjustment plate is the bottom stainless steel plate underneath the hopper.

The adjustment of the pattern plate is sensitive. It is recommended that you test your spread pattern in a small area first.

1.To adjust the flow to be heavier to the left side, tighten the thumbscrew so the plate will not pull out as far.

See figure 18.

2.To adjust the flow to be heavier to the right side, loosen the thumbscrew so the plate will pull out farther.

See figure 18.
