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 PAGE 13. SPREADING AT ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNDER DAMP & HUMID CONDITIONS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THE SPREADER BEFORE YOU PUT MATERIAL IN THE HOPPER. Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing the rate gate at the appropriate times. Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph. , or at a brisk walking pace). Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational speed. Dial Setting Information The RATE DIAL has 9 numbers with 10 stops between each number, for accurate control of the spreading rate. LINE UP THE DIAL NUMBER WITH THE DIAL INDICATOR. 7 8 Read Before Using Rotary Agitator Use the rotary agitator only if needed. OIL BEARINGS AND ALL MOVING PARTS Make certain the spreader is running freely! Read Before Using RECOMMENDATION: When not spreading and the spreader is being pushed some distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is on the ground. Cleaning the Spreader is Part of the Spreading Job. IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE - CLEAN AND OIL THE SPREADER · Method #1 - Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth. (Moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to go. ) Immediately after drying - oil all bearings and moving parts. Make certain all operations are thorough. Note: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet Cleaning". Now You are Ready to Put Material in the Hopper · Make certain the rate gate is in closed position. · As insurance against spill damage and spill loss, put material in the hopper with the spreader on a walk, driveway, paper, plastic, etc. · The spreader will be easier to use if you only half-fill the hopper. Later on you can fill the hopper if you so choose. · It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a clean, dry, oiled surface. · Again - just before using - oil all bearings and moving parts. · In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the handle. In any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as excess weight over a period of time can distort the tires. Now You are Ready to Spread · Spread header strips at the ends of the area OPPOSITE the direction of spreading. [. . . ] · VARIABLES include product size, weight, shape, surface finish, hygroscopic or non hygroscopic composition, condition of product (exposure to humidity, temperature, etc. ) · VARIABLES include spreading rate (light, medium, heavy). · VARIABLES include condition of the spreader end the spreading spinner (product build up on the casting vanes, etc. ) · VARIABLES include operator habits, fast or slow walking, tilting spreader forward or backward or operating spreader in a level attitude. A Note the relationship of the rate gate opening to the front side of the ramp. Accuway - How It Works A turn of the spread pattern shifter dial factors the variables. This in turn balances the spread pattern heavier to right or heavier to left as required. (Note the very fine threads on the Equalizer adjustment stem. ) Viewed from the operators position To spread heavier left - move the ramp out. [. . . ]
