OPERATION Directional Control Directional Control 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. The directional control plate can be used for adjusting the material spread pattern when spreading near sidewalks, planting beds, etc.

TROUBLESHOOTING Table 2: Troubleshooting - Spreading Difficulties & Remedies PROBLEM Gate / Handle Movement During Operation CAUSE / CONDITION REMEDY Handle mounting bolt (36) not tight enough. Tighten bolt (36). (Refer to figure 9, on pg 16). Hopper-gate assembly bolts (45) not tight enough. Tighten bolts (45). (Refer to hopper exploded view on page 8 and figure 15 on pg 26). * If bolts are too tight then the directional control plate (46) may be difficult to slide.
SERVICE MAINTENANCE SERVICE The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your Spreader clean and dry. QUALITY CONTINUES WITH QUALITY SERVICE • 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.
