Deflector Gate Control
The deflector-gate control is located to the above the
throttle on the control console
Use the deflector-gate control to temporarily stop
the discharge of granular materials at the left side
of the spreader. Close the deflector gate with the
control when it is not desirable to broadcast granular
materials onto sidewalks, parking lots, or patios.
•
Push the knob for the deflector-gate control down
to close the gate and temporarily deflect the
granular materials.
•
Pull the knob up to open the deflector gate for full
granular broadcasting.
Heavy Distribution Granular-Gate Lever
The heavy distribution granular-gate lever is the fourth
lever located at the top center of the control console
(Figure 10).
•
To broadcast a wide pattern of granular material,
pull the heavy distribution granular-gate lever
rearward to the full open position.
•
To close the impeller gate, push the heavy
distribution granular-gate lever forward full closed
position.

Light Distribution Granular-Gate Lever
The light distribution granular-gate lever is the fifth
lever located at the top center of the control console
(Figure 10).
•
To broadcast a narrow pattern of granular material,
pull the light distribution granular-gate lever
rearward fully to the limited O
•
To close the impeller gate, push the heavy
distribution granular-gate lever forward fully.
Note:
Only the heavy distribution granular-gate
lever closes the impeller gate. Pushing the heavy
distribution granular-gate lever forward also resets
the light distribution granular-gate lever to the
forward position.
Spreader-Pattern Control
The spreader-pattern control is located to the right
of the deflector-gate control at the control console
(Figure 10).
Use the spreader-pattern control to broadcast a
heavier pattern of granular material to the left or right
side of the machine.
•
To broadcast a heavier pattern to the left, unlock
the spreader-pattern control, pull the control up
slightly, and lock the control.
•
To broadcast a heavier pattern to the right, unlock
the spreader-pattern control, push the control
down slightly, and lock the control.
Flow-Rate Adjustment Knob—light Distribution
Granular Gate
The flow-rate adjustment knob is located below the
heavy distribution- and light distribution impeller-gate
levers (Figure 10).
Use the flow-rate adjustment knob to control
the discharge rate of granular material from the
hopper onto the impeller when the light distribution
granular-gate lever is in the O
•
Rotate the narrow-spreader distribution-flow-rate
knob clockwise to decrease the discharge rate of
granular material from the hopper.
•
Rotate the distribution flow-rate-knob
counterclockwise to increase the discharge rate of
granular material from the hopper.
Impeller Control Switch
The impeller control switch is located to the left of the
Impeller-speed display, at the bottom of the control
console (Figure 10).
Use the impeller control switch to run the electric
motor that drives the impeller.
