D. TO CONTROL Conveyor Speed.
1. Hold HI to increase speed. NOTE: Do not hold switch in HI position after the desired
RPM is achieved or you will choke and/or stall the engine.
2. Hold LO to decrease speed.
E. TO DISENGAGE Spreader Conveyor.
1. Tap START switch momentarily so that red indicator light goes out. Do not fully
depress the START switch, only half way is needed. Only the conveyor stops, the
engine continues to run.
F. TO TURN ENGINE OFF (with or without conveyor running).
1. Depress LO on throttle control to reduce setting to idle (this prevents engine flooding
and hard starting).
2. Push OFF position on the ON/OFF switch.
NOTE: OFF can be pushed at anytime during spreader operation to cut power to the unit.
However, you should normally use steps under F above.
(Once the off switch is depressed - the starting procedure must be followed for engine re-start.)
G. Do not attempt to start the engine with the conveyor engaged. (CONV switch light will be lit to
indicating its being on.)
WARNING
1 . As with all power equipment, safety is the number one concern.
2. Do not operate this equipment until you fully understand how it functions.
3. Before starting engine, be sure that no one is near the rear of the unit and that no
one is inside the unit!
4. Do not start the engine or engage the conveyor (which is interconnected to the
spinner); until everyone is clear from moving parts and flying material from the
spinner.
SPREADER OPERATION
A. Start the engine and engage the clutch. The amount of material spread, depends on engine speed and
gate opening. Decreasing RPM and/or gate height will decrease amount spread; the inverse holds true
also. Notice that the electric clutch can be engaged or disengaged at any time and at any engine RPM.
However, since engagement time and torque is almost instantaneous, to prevent premature spinner chain
failure and chain tension loss, it is recommended that the electric clutch be engaged at the lowest possible
RPM without stalling the engine.
If the truck is to be driven for an extended period of time while the spreader is not operating, it is best to turn
off the gas at the carburator inlet to prevent the carburator from overfilling with fuel.
Before loading the spreader the first time, start and stop the conveyor several times to break in the clutch.
