Serious personal injury can result from being
caught in a turning spinner. Stay clear and keep
all others clear when spinner is turning.
Serious personal injury can result if hit by flying
particles being thrown by a turning spinner.
Stand back, and keep all others back at least 50
feet while spinner is turning. DO NOT ASSUME
that particles cannot be thrown by a turning
spinner just because material is not being
dropped onto the spinner; particles that have been
sticking to the spinner may suddenly come loose
and be thrown causing possible injury.
In general, for the most commonly desired spread pat-
terns, the material drop zone should be over
forward half and within outside edge of disc. See
below and next page. Adjusting the specific location
where material falls on the forward half of the spinner
disc is very important. This allows the greatest portion
of the material to be placed on the road
surface in the three most commonly desired locations:
1. To the left of the vehicle. 2. To the left and rear of
the vehicle. 3. To the rear and right of the vehicle.
The spinner shield which is positioned approximately
at the right forward quadrant of the spinner disc, is
intended to restrict “stray” material to the spinner area
and to aid in a more defined spread pattern.
ADJUSTING SPINNER FOR DESIRED SPREAD PATTERN
DANGER!
Once the desired spread pattern has been obtained,
increasing the spinner speed by opening the spinner
control knob will give a wider spread pattern, and
closing the spinner control knob will give a narrower
spread pattern.
It should be noted that the spread pattern width will
vary as the dump body is raised and lowered during
spreading operations. This is due to the spinner be-
coming closer to the road surface as the body is raised,
and farther away from the road surface as the body is
lowered. A higher spinner assembly above the road
surface will give a wider spread pattern, and a lower
spinner assembly above the road surface will give a
narrower spread pattern. When establishing spread
pattern width, raise the body to the dump angle nor-
mally used during spreading operations, and have
the spinner control knob at the setting normally used
during spreading operations.
Sliding the spinner to intermediate positions from those
shown below and on the following page will give varia-
tions of spread patterns to those shown. After estab-
lishing the desired spread pattern, it is suggested that
the spinner position on the hinge rod, the dump body
angle, and the valve spinner control setting be recorded
for future use.
IMPORTANT! After making final adjustments, the spin-
ner assembly must always be locked in position using
the provided locking mechanism.
