Question Solution
What is the difference between
the Accuway and Rate Gate?
The Accuway Adjustment Screw (19) is a small black screw with a rectangular
head, located on the front of the Spreader. This screw controls the direction of
the distribution. See page 16.
The Rate Gate Dial (22) is a white circular knob on the back of the Spreader.
This dial controls the amount of distribution. See page 20.
How do I use the Accuway?
For initial setup, please reference step 17 of the assembly (on page 14) and then
calibrate your spreader. See calibration steps: pages 15-17.
To adjust your Accuway settings, refer to the chart on page 16.
