5. Mount the Drive Wheel(12) to the axle using an m6x45 bolt. Mount the Coast Wheel(13) using shim washers and a cotter pin. Tighten the entire axle assembly as shown A. Make sure the bushings inside the frame tubes are fully seated against the frame B. Using the included allen wrench, tighten the set screws in the collars to lock them in place against the bushings C. The coast wheel side should have only a small gap between the outside shim washer and the cotter pin

10. Check that the axle rotates freely, the gears inter-face well and then tighten the support bracket to the frame.

11. Verify that the spinner shaft is straight, the axle turns freely and that all hardware is tight.

SET CONTROL HANDLE TO "30"

ADJUST RESTRICTOR SO IT IS FULLY OPEN(HOPPER NOT SHOWNFOR CLARITY)

Second jam nut must be removed before mounting upper

linkage to linkage plate assem-bly. After controls are set, it must

be re-mounted flush against bracket and tightened with 1/2"

wrenches.

First jam nut must be adjusted so it is flush

against the bracket when the restrictor plate

is fully open and the control handle is at "30".

18. Set the controls by first adjusting the restrictor plate so it is fully open. Then remove the second jam nut from the upper linkage and insert the upper linkage into the small bracket of the linkage plate assembly. Set the control handle to "30" and adjust the first jam nut so it is flush against the small bracket. Now reattach the sec-ond jam nut and tighten with 1/2" wrenches.

20. Double check that all hardware is tight and the drive system turns properly (it should feel a bit snug). 21. Place the screen(18) inside the hopper.

Operation1. Before filling Hopper, ensure that the Restrictor Plate is fully closed and the Screen is in place. 2. Move and tighten the stop bolt to the desired setting.3. Add material and place rain cover over hopper if desired.4. Begin moving forward with the spreader.5. Pull the Control Handle back to the stop bolt to open Restrictor Plate and allow material to flow.6. Before stopping, push the Control Handle fully for-ward to stop flow.

Maintenance1. The Hopper and Spinner should be completely emp-tied and cleaned before storage.2. The Spreader should be washed and dried before storage.

18

3. Check that the Restrictor Plate and Linkage move freely. Clear out any debris between the Restrictor Plate and the Hopper.4. Check that there is no debris in the Gears and that they move freely.5. Check torque of all fasteners on a monthly basis.

Operation Notes:1. The spreader is designed to be operated at a brisk walking pace. Walking slower or faster will alter the distribution pattern and amount of the material, as will the moisture content of the material and other environ-mental factors.2. Grease may be applied to the Pinion and Large Drive Gear as desired.

CAUTIONWhen filling hopper, make certain there are no large objects within the material. Objects larger than the openings in the Screen may cause the spreader to clog or even damage the drive system. Never leave material in the hopper when not in use.
