Pattern Control
This control adjusts and centers the granular spread pattern.
The pattern control centers the spread pattern if granular
material spreads too heavily to the left or right of the machine.
To use, pull or push the control until desired spread pattern
is reached. Turn the control to the right to lock the pattern
control at the desired setting.
Hopper Gate Control
This control opens and closes the granular hopper gate.
• To open the gate, pull the control up.
• To close the gate, push the control down.
• To adjust the maximum opening of the hopper gate,
see Gate Stop in Features and Controls.
Spreader Motor Control
This control determines the speed of the spreader motor.
The spreader motor speed affects the distance the granular
material will be expelled from the machine. Speed can be
selected in increments from zero (off) to ten (fastest).
• To increase the speed of the spreader motor, turn the
knob clockwise.
• To decrease the speed of the spreader motor, turn the
knob counter-clockwise.
Momentary Shaker/Agitator Switch
This momentary switch activates the hopper shaker/agitator.
Press and hold this switch to start the shaker/agitator. This
will vibrate the granular material in the hopper, allowing it to
loosen and flow inside the hopper. Release the switch to stop
the shaker/agitator.
