GRAIN SPREADER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Carefully unpack the unit and DIVERTER SEGMENTS CHART inspect for shipping damage. 2. Check tightness of all bolts in the cone and blade assemblies. 3. Select the proper number of diverter segments required (See Diverter Segments chart). Note: The various types of grain, moisture content, bin diameter, and capacity of fill auger are all conditions that change the evenness of spread. Some experimentation is needed to attain the proper spread pattern.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE CORRECT SPREADING PATTERN Grain is slightly depressed in the center, grain flow is centered and the spreader is level. Trouble Probable Cause Large doughnut shaped ring caused by grain hitting high on bin wall. Tilt blade downward, decrease bite. Remove blade extension. Spreader blade too flat. Grain is high in center of bin, small doughnut. Flatten blade, increase bite, decrease grain flow to spreader. Add blade extension. Spreader blade too steep.
