User manual SPYKER 80

[. . . ] If the setting proves to be too low, cover the area more than one time. A higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is established. The operation of the spreader, the condition of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) and weather conditions, are all contributing factors. For these reasons, it's often a good idea to spread the area 2 times at one-half rate - in cross directions (SEE INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS ON REFERENCE CHART ON THE BACK PAGE. [. . . ] Mechanized casting came into being in 1868 when Samuel Speicher invented the Hand Crank "Cyclone" Seeder. This development ushered in a new era in spreading and spreading products. New products and product forms adapted to broadcast spreading were developed. In 1988 a new dimension was added to broadcast spreading SPREAD PATTERN CONTROL - a dead center spread pattern equalizer. Spyker's Accuway® spread pattern equalizer solves a complicated problem with a fundamental patented solution. Did You Know?

All Model 80 spreaders have solid stainless axle, metal drive gears and welded frames making this the most durable, long lasting ground driven spreader on the market today. The following is a description of Mulch-n-More Model 80 series operating instructions. . . All units come standard with a regular spinner blade for spreading seed, fertilizer, granular chemical products and other lower rate granular products. THERE'S MORE TO A SPREADER THAN MEETS THE EYE ­­­ LOTS MORE Spreadability Dial-a-matic regulator ensures exact spread rate. Accuway® Spread Pattern Equalizer assures exact placement of the spread pattern - Bull's Eye - dead to the center of the spreader. Skewing is eliminated. Durability Model 80 spreaders will survive use and abuse. Welded steel construction is double braced, finished in baked on powder coated enamel. The "all of the way open" setting can also be used to spread dry sand, dry organic top dresses and fertilizers, salt and ice melt products and other normally difficult to spread products. When using the mulch setting you can gate the flow of the material as you're spreading. For salt, sand and top dress materials in which an accurate setting is not critical simply watch the flow of material as it comes out of the spreader. Either open more or close off (gate the flow) until you feel comfortable with the amount of material you are spreading. If you would like to check the flow rate simply mark the position of the control lever with a piece of tape and use the calibration bucket to check the coverage per thousand square feet. (See the calibration instructions included with the calibration bucket or "Calibrating the Mulch-n-More" on the www. spyker. com web site. ) 6. Through trials involving mass flow products such as sand and salt we have found that using the "mulch basket" gives you the best spread pattern.
