SPREADING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The opening in the bottom of the hopper is regulated by the control lever. The size of the
opening is determined by the calibrated scale. Place the control lever at the desired setting.
2. The spread chart in this manual is an approximate guide based on various forward speeds. For
accurate spreading, calibrate your tractor to operate at the desired speed.
3. Check rate chart for suggested setting for material type to be spread.
4. You are now ready to make a trial run to assure accurate results. Close the feed gates and put in a
pre-determined amount of the material to be spread. Spread this and check the results. Make final
adjustments to obtain desired results.
