18. Spread Plate Adjustment:
As shown in Step #14 Diagram #26, connecting the spread plate chain to the second hole up from the hopper on
the mount tube plate is a good starting point for most material being applied to produce a “Sheet-Like” flow
coming off the spread plate.
Depending on your application rate and weight of the product being applied you may need to adjust the angle
up or down so the material flows freely off the spread plate.
If application without spread plate is desired, lift spreader up and swing spread plate to the lift handle side of
the spreader and hook the s-hook on the sash chain over the lip on the spreader.
See operator’s manual for more information.
19. Please read Operators Manual for overview of proper use, maintenance & cleaning of spreader.
